  • Look for benchmarks on games you actually play (or at least similar ones). That’s way more useful and practical than the artificial tool scores.

    I just did a web search for a popular GPU model + “benchmarks” and the very first result was a Tom’s Hardware page showing how it scores (in frames per second) against a 17 different models and 14 popular games with common resolution/quality settings.


  • Forget brands, forget series. Look up benchmarks for the things you actually want to run (games? video editing? raw compute?) and find the best bang for the buck on that. And of course find a motherboard to match that CPU and your other needs.

    I’ve run Intel, AMD, even IBM PowerPC for many many years and they’ve all been very reliable. The difference just comes down to performance for the job.
