What were the god-tier GPUs of their era?
>>
>were

Isn't that the current generation?
>>
gpu hall of famer
>>
>1080 Ti
>3080
>4090
5000 series kind of sucks like the 2000 series did, hopefully the 6000 is better.

ESL retard

8800gt, because I had one
>>
>>107059836
Can it run Crysis
>>
Off the top of my head, definitely the following
>3Dfx Voodoo Savage
Best 90's era GPU hands down
>GeForce 256
Could play Quake 3 Arena
>Radeon 9700 Pro
Direct X 9, was actually better than nvidia's biggest mistake at the time
>8800gt
Direct X 10, PCI 2.0, very aggressive power to value ratio, could run Crysis. Dethroned ATI forever
>GTX 285
Best GPU to run Crysis on widescreen monitors
>GTX 480
Despite the house fires, this thing was a monster
>GTX 670
Extremely power efficient compared to the 5xx series
>GTX 1080Ti
So good I'm still using it to play modern games.
>RTX 3xxx series
Blew the RTX 2xxx series out of the water, despite the scalping issues

Not sure about anything else

All of these were worse than AMD offerings
>>
>>107060078
Okay, so what were the AMD offerings?
>>
>>107060085
4870
5870
7970
Vega 64
>>
>>107060106
>7970
Man I forgot about this one. That one actually was extremely legendary.
I remember wishing I had that dual GPU 6990 or even that 5870 Eyefinity Edition
I do agree with your list
>>
>>107060126
the 7970 is still out there getting drivers and running games, kepler cards are unsupported on linux and windows. hell I would bench my $200 270x against the $650 gtx 780 BUT THERE ARE NO DRIVERS
>>
>>107059609
I'm really enjoying my 5070ti. Zero issues playing the newest games on 4k. The super variant will probably be the best of this gen.
>>
>>107060136
o wait
I could run the 780 on windows 10 and the 270x in linux and get a quick comparison in
>>
>>107059609
at 9700 pro/9800 xt (r300), 8800gtx/ultra (g80/g92), , titan x/gtx 980ti(gm200), titan pascal/1080ti(gp102), rtx 3090.

honorable mentions , hd 7970, hd 5870, gp100 quadro, rx 480, 290x (8gb),


comment:
the often forgotten 9700 is the GOAT easily, it was so much faster than anything else at the time, and lasted an ungodly amount of time during an era when gpus became obsolete in less than a year. it is possible to play skyrim on it.
the gcn 1 and 2 radeon cards started off weak, but redeemed themselves in the end. the rx 480 offered very good value at $240 usd(before the miners got them), the 5870 simply had no competition when it launched, and when the gtx 480 did arrive, it was stiill vastly more power efficient, and could still keep up pretty well.

overall nvida hit it out of the park repeatedly, the g80 needs no introduction, the 3090 and 4090 are about equal, because they both offered very substantial performance increases , though the 3090 gets the edge because of the less insane pricing, and being the first to offer somewhat usable raytracing. the 900 series maxwell cards are probably my favorite, because it was the last nvidia card where you could actually do vbios mods , ( I know later cards have been cracked but like 5 years after the fact), and it had ridiculous oc potential.
>>
damn, the nvidia 2000 series really did suck huh
>>
>>107059609
4090 was dirt cheap for what you got last generation. The upgrade to a 5090 didn't feel as impactful considering the price, but I need VRAM and MFG either way.
>>
you're all a bunch of gay n00bs I'm still rocking an RTX 2060 fuck outta here
>>
>>107059609
970
1080/1080Ti
2070super/2080
