very true! Still using my dell 1366*768 monitor and rx 580 for gaming. My TV is 10 years old as well, that one is 4k tho, couldn't afford this gen 4k yet.
I bought a 970 when it came out, and just switched to a 4080 super recently. I didn’t think it was that bad with the 970 but after switching it is a massive difference. Much more than I expected.
You clearly didn't get this guy's logic. He won't/didn't try to play cyberpunk or latest AAA titles with his gtx 680. He will play them now with his 4080 and he will buy them cheaper than on launch. This is the way
I really like that strategy, don’t upgrade your GPU for really long, you might now be able to play many latest games, but once you upgrade it, you can buy games you haven’t played for much lower price then when they were new and you will have lots of games to play
EXACTLY! I had my 970 for a long time and i could play many great games, just not the newest ones. I recently upgraded my gpu and "new" games from the last years and they are way cheaper than at the release
@@gladiatorgamer9502 obviously you are not too bright. The 4090 was bought last and is why i am waiting awhile for my next. The uplift was well worth it though.

I'm still rocking a 1070ti, most of the game I played still giving me steady 60 fps in 1080p. maybe couple more years I will upgrade my rig again. by then its probably 60 series already
yeah but the high end card 3090 costed more than a 2080 ti that was 1200 the 3090 ti was over 1500 dollars the prices have been going up since the 20 series don't act like it hasn't. the economy has went up so the prices of everything did to

Fortnite was also very playable on medium settings. (Though I am super glad that I have the upgraded gpu, I thank my parents everyday cause it did cost a bit.)
I was so cheap I kept convincing myself I could wait until the next gen. In my head I hated the idea of spending a ton of money on the "latest and greatest" just for it to drop in price when the next best thing came out. Finally I pulled the trigger and went from my 1050 ti mini from the first pc I ever made when I was a freshman in highschool (it was a cute lil baby gpu) to a 4070 super last month. At least I can say it made me REALLY appreciate the 4070...
same happened to me, lol. I jumped from a 750Ti to a 4060Ti after 8 years. Respect to my old PC for going through all the years of low end gaming with me 🫡
@@Fonixon9 Defenetly still a sufficiently good card. I've had a blast enjoying games like Warframe, Overwatch, Just cause 4, Sekiro, etc. Sadly, PC bricked itself and now the only thing that it can open it's the BIOS and the annoying blue screen of death with like 4 different errors involving the system 32 and registry stuff. I already reinstalled the windows and it happened again. Now it doesn't even give me the option to do it, so I'm stuck with a old office laptop that doesn't even have a dedicated GPU
I kinda do the same. Had the 970, enjoyed it until about a year ago, a friend upgraded and gave me his old 1070 so okie thankies. As I waited for the 4000 series to release and waiting for a good price, I already had some money reserved for that. So, when I saw the 4070 at 550€, I bought it. The 1070 era was cool of course but wasn't that much of a jump, but being accustomed to the 970 and testing the 4070 in Ultra 4K RTX was a delight, and still is.
Bro I went from a Dual core Intel g2020 (not released in 2020) cpu with integrated graphics, 8GB DDR3, 512 HDD, made in 2013 and all of this at just $200. TO Ryzen 5950x 16 core, RTX 3090, Samsung 980 Pro 1TB, 64GB DDR4, in 2021. All of which were the best you could buy. Seriously the difference on the first boot made me crazy. I had to wait 5 min. to boot into my PC first and this thing just booted within 5 sec. Blender and some games would not even start, GTA5 I used to play at everything at low at 720p. and this thing didn't even use all the VRAM or Performance even at 4k Max settings.
I went from 1070 to 7900 xtx and felt that huge bump even with Ryzen 2700 💀 Can't say that I feel the bottleneck at 4K but on 1440p or 1080p I got the same fps. That's where the bottleneck is 😅😂
Went from an and rx580 4gb to a 7800xt at the end of last year. Really nice jump. Plan to upgrade sooner than 6 ish years this time and keep up with it instead of dropping 1600 dollars again in 6-8 years.
What is your CPU? Just a bit worried about bottlenecking your new card. If you CPU is from the last few generations you should be fine, but if it's older than that the RX 6600 may not hit its full potential.
@@mohammed_12yt92 pretty sure the 4050 is a mobile part. There is no 4050 desktop part. Nvidia did release the 6GB 3050 not too long ago. It's now the cheapest RTX card with an MSRP well under $200 US. Probably not the best choice at that price point(RX 6600 would be quite a bit faster for not much more) but it's something.
I’m still rocking dual 780’s in my old computer. Only reason I haven’t upgraded, which I plan to build a new rig soon, is because I don’t play games nearly as much as I used to. But I’d like to get back into playing some modern stuff that will definitely be demanding and I can’t deal with having just 30fps on low settings and still getting dropped frames and shit. Currently I only play stuff on my gaming laptop because I’m doing renovations on the house and can’t set up a proper desk anywhere, but even that laptop is like 8 years old lol.
Ran a 1060 Dell laptop for about 5 years and upgraded to a 3060ti. Night and day difference, but I still waited 2 years and bought it second-hand. I personally wouldn't wait as long as him, but sounds like he's good for at least a while.
I upgraded four years ago from the gt520 to the gtx 1660 The upgrade was unbelievable, esports titles jumped from running on 15fps on 720p to 150+fps on 1080p I still remember the dopamine rush I got then 😂❤️
I went from a 1050 Ti to a 3080. Love this card so much. I actually been thinking about selling it and getting a 4080 Super. I know I should probably wait for the next Gen cards but the 3080 having only 10GB was a massive oversight I didn't take into account.
Indeed I agree I was looking for the minimum I can pay to play the games I mostly play and since one of the games I play more nowadays is getting an upgrade on graphics I finally decided to build my first gaming pc. Hopefully it turns out good.
i had the 680ti. that card was crazy for the money back in the day. when nvidia actually had a decent priced card for how it performed. it was $635 for the card...

@@bran-the-man9875 I believe you, but good PC is not making you a good player. Unfortunately, I can not see the difference between 144 smooth and 240 smooth. I was so curious about that, had to upgrade, apex just launched solo mode so I got everything I need so that I can play that and see if it will help me in any way. It is so good, so smooth and details are supreme. Didn't make a difference competition wise. Well, maybe won that 1% of fights I would have lost, but it is probably copium. Haven't played apex since S15, will play it every day until they remove solo mode. I have a kill or 2 every solo match, often 7-10 kills and I had 23 games in a row with zero team kills when playing trios ranked. I am trash, bad, bot, but some people who play this game and rage are worse.
Not as big of a jump but i went from GTX 960M to RTX3070 lol. Can't tell you how good it feels not having to fine tune every single setting in both the Nvidia panel and in-game just to run new games rn
I upgraded from a GTX 760 to a RTX 3080 last year. When I got in game after the upgrade, the sheer magnificence caused my face skin to melt off as I transcended to a new plane of existence.
I upgraded my GTX680(when first released) to a 6700xt a year or so ago. I was going for the 6800xt but I couldn't pass up the sweet $200 deal I got on the 6700xt. One of the most profound upgrades I've done, and I probably won't even consider a new GPU for at least a few more years.

I was so cheap I kept convincing myself I could wait until the next gen. In my head I hated the idea of spending a ton of money on the "latest and greatest" just for it to drop in price when the next best thing came out.
Finally I pulled the trigger and went from my 1050 ti mini from the first pc I ever made when I was a freshman in highschool (it was a cute lil baby gpu) to a 4070 super last month. At least I can say it made me REALLY appreciate the 4070...
Just upgraded from my 970 to a 4080 Super. My mind melted at the difference.
same happened to me, lol. I jumped from a 750Ti to a 4060Ti after 8 years. Respect to my old PC for going through all the years of low end gaming with me 🫡
I think I can beat that. R9 270 and a pentium G3258 to a 4070 super and a 7700X. Did get a new monitor also.
6850 to 4090 LOL
Meanwhile me here with my I5-7400 and GTX 1060 and a PC that won't even boot properly
I went from Qmd redeon hd6570 2gb to Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6gb dual fan white version and im very proud of that puchase 👍
I went from air to 4060 Ti and i7-13700k
@@Fonixon9 Defenetly still a sufficiently good card. I've had a blast enjoying games like Warframe, Overwatch, Just cause 4, Sekiro, etc. Sadly, PC bricked itself and now the only thing that it can open it's the BIOS and the annoying blue screen of death with like 4 different errors involving the system 32 and registry stuff. I already reinstalled the windows and it happened again. Now it doesn't even give me the option to do it, so I'm stuck with a old office laptop that doesn't even have a dedicated GPU
@@Twxavitje Wow. Nice upgrade
@@cineva-wb1pk it culd be with motherboard bios probably
I kinda do the same.
Had the 970, enjoyed it until about a year ago, a friend upgraded and gave me his old 1070 so okie thankies.
As I waited for the 4000 series to release and waiting for a good price, I already had some money reserved for that. So, when I saw the 4070 at 550€, I bought it. The 1070 era was cool of course but wasn't that much of a jump, but being accustomed to the 970 and testing the 4070 in Ultra 4K RTX was a delight, and still is.
Bro I went from a Dual core Intel g2020 (not released in 2020) cpu with integrated graphics, 8GB DDR3, 512 HDD, made in 2013 and all of this at just $200.
TO
Ryzen 5950x 16 core, RTX 3090, Samsung 980 Pro 1TB, 64GB DDR4, in 2021. All of which were the best you could buy.
Seriously the difference on the first boot made me crazy.
I had to wait 5 min. to boot into my PC first and this thing just booted within 5 sec.
Blender and some games would not even start, GTA5 I used to play at everything at low at 720p.
and this thing didn't even use all the VRAM or Performance even at 4k Max settings.
I upgraded my whole computer, recently went from xfx rx580 to 4080 super, i dont plan on upgrading my computer for the next 8-10 years
I went from 1070 to 7900 xtx and felt that huge bump even with Ryzen 2700 💀 Can't say that I feel the bottleneck at 4K but on 1440p or 1080p I got the same fps. That's where the bottleneck is 😅😂
Now save some for 5700X. Bios update and all good.
@@MarioAPN 5700X3D. They're just over $200 now.
Went from an and rx580 4gb to a 7800xt at the end of last year. Really nice jump. Plan to upgrade sooner than 6 ish years this time and keep up with it instead of dropping 1600 dollars again in 6-8 years.
Imagine if all of his parts were still from 10 years ago, the bottle neck would br crazy.
I am about to upgrade from a Intel integrated graphics to a Rx 6600.Very excited for the upgrade😊
What is your CPU? Just a bit worried about bottlenecking your new card. If you CPU is from the last few generations you should be fine, but if it's older than that the RX 6600 may not hit its full potential.
I went from an iGPU on an Intel Pentium Dual core (from 2006) which only worked on specific mobos to an RTX 4050 last October
4050 ????
@@mohammed_12yt92Laptop gpu
I forgot the 4050 was a thing
@@mohammed_12yt92 pretty sure the 4050 is a mobile part. There is no 4050 desktop part. Nvidia did release the 6GB 3050 not too long ago. It's now the cheapest RTX card with an MSRP well under $200 US. Probably not the best choice at that price point(RX 6600 would be quite a bit faster for not much more) but it's something.
yep, I meant 4050 laptop, since there's no 4050 for desktop (unless you consider 4060 to be an xx50 tier card when it comes to performance)
Honestly tho, my 1060 held out for quite a while, but I must say jumping up to 3070ti feels like a gift from the gods
I went from intel hd 530 graphics to a 1080 ti, which is technically a bigger upgrade.
lol
I went from a gtx 680 to an rx 6700 xt, but I'm still rocking an i7 3770k 😂
I hope it's overclocked to some extent
@@MrYedige of course. only to 4.2GHz tho but it seems fine for 1080p
I’m still rocking dual 780’s in my old computer. Only reason I haven’t upgraded, which I plan to build a new rig soon, is because I don’t play games nearly as much as I used to. But I’d like to get back into playing some modern stuff that will definitely be demanding and I can’t deal with having just 30fps on low settings and still getting dropped frames and shit. Currently I only play stuff on my gaming laptop because I’m doing renovations on the house and can’t set up a proper desk anywhere, but even that laptop is like 8 years old lol.
I kinda did the same jump lol. An 860 to a 3080ti. I3 5xxx to an i7 12xxx (idr the exact models for the CPUs) and holy shit man. It's so nice!
intel uhd 620 to 3070ti
im thinking about upgrading to a gtx 670 soon, sounds good
I went from an rx580 to a 3070, i never knew what i was really missing out on
Ran a 1060 Dell laptop for about 5 years and upgraded to a 3060ti. Night and day difference, but I still waited 2 years and bought it second-hand. I personally wouldn't wait as long as him, but sounds like he's good for at least a while.
I went from a integrated i5 2300 to a 4070 triple monitor 1440p 175hz Ryzen 9
Which Ryzen 9 do you have? Zen 2/3/4? 12/16 Core? X3D?
It's a bigger flush of dopamine to experience jumps that large so I think that's a good tactic from him. Quite a bit delayed gratification.
He was edging.
@@MarioAPN🤨
I upgraded four years ago from the gt520 to the gtx 1660
The upgrade was unbelievable, esports titles jumped from running on 15fps on 720p to 150+fps on 1080p
I still remember the dopamine rush I got then 😂❤️
I went from a 1050 Ti to a 3080. Love this card so much. I actually been thinking about selling it and getting a 4080 Super. I know I should probably wait for the next Gen cards but the 3080 having only 10GB was a massive oversight I didn't take into account.
I went from pentium to a 3060. That was a jump that you might consider
☠️
They aren't comparable, though.
Hey, listen if it plays the game, it plays the game at the end of the day that’s the most important part
You don’t need all the fancy stuff while that’s nice to have. It’s a bonus. You don’t need it to have fun.
Indeed I agree I was looking for the minimum I can pay to play the games I mostly play and since one of the games I play more nowadays is getting an upgrade on graphics I finally decided to build my first gaming pc. Hopefully it turns out good.
i had the 680ti. that card was crazy for the money back in the day. when nvidia actually had a decent priced card for how it performed. it was $635 for the card...
I'm upgrading for a Nivida Quadro K4200 to a RTX 4060 TODAY
Bro I jumped from integrated graphics to RTX 4070ti
Im on a 1060 3GB and I have a 7900xtx getting delivered later this week. New monitor as well, don't worry
My physichs teacher upgrades his pc every 10 years, he is gonna spend abt 3-4k on his new pc in 2025. Im not sure what is he rocking rn, but he bought his current pc about 10-11 years ago.
Went from a 1050ti to a 3080, that jump was satisfying
Glad to see our boy ZwormZ getting some well deserved recognition!
I went from intel hd2000 to rx580 2304sp 8gb😂😂 very powerful
Totally agree to only upgrade every decade... my PC is GT 770, been only using my laptop so far but won't upgrade my PC until Nvidia 50 or 60 series
I mean he right, I'm sticking with my 1660 super for 5 more years or so
Also recently upgraded from my 9yrs old 5820k to 7800X3D.. And my gpu finally released its wings 😂
zwormz is one of the best Benchmarking CZcamsr i've ever found
I actually just made the equivlent upgrade, I agree, once a decade or when broken, whichever comes first
went from gtx2070 to 7900XTX last year. a massive upgrade.
Integrated graphics to 4070TI super…
I went from a rx 580 to a gtx 3090 ti
Gtx 3090??
LOL
Me, making a jump to an RX580 to a 4060: _"Hey it's me!"_
I went from GTX 1060 to RTX 4060
I have RTX 4080 super + 7800x3d and I only play warzone at 1440p on my 144hz monitor
I get bored while playing single player on monitor, I might start taking my PC to the living room soon cos I prefer playing single player on TV and not monitor
Go 1440p @ 240hz you won't regret it
Or you could just buy a very long HDMI cable and use the controller via bluetooth
@@bran-the-man9875 I believe you, but good PC is not making you a good player. Unfortunately, I can not see the difference between 144 smooth and 240 smooth. I was so curious about that, had to upgrade, apex just launched solo mode so I got everything I need so that I can play that and see if it will help me in any way. It is so good, so smooth and details are supreme. Didn't make a difference competition wise. Well, maybe won that 1% of fights I would have lost, but it is probably copium. Haven't played apex since S15, will play it every day until they remove solo mode. I have a kill or 2 every solo match, often 7-10 kills and I had 23 games in a row with zero team kills when playing trios ranked. I am trash, bad, bot, but some people who play this game and rage are worse.
Not as big of a jump but i went from GTX 960M to RTX3070 lol. Can't tell you how good it feels not having to fine tune every single setting in both the Nvidia panel and in-game just to run new games rn
im going from a old laptop with no grapics to a 4060ti finally
Gtx 680 to 4080!! Crazyy
i can honestly relate to the decade guy, i just also upgraded to i5 13500 from amd 7650k ddr3
I upgraded from a GTX 760 to a RTX 3080 last year. When I got in game after the upgrade, the sheer magnificence caused my face skin to melt off as I transcended to a new plane of existence.
that 980ti in to 1080ti run from nvidia will never be repeated. 980ti was already insane but then they basically doubled it
i mean 699 in 2017 is worth something like 1000 now, but that's better than 2k for the highest end card lol
Upgrading every year or two is crazy, but upgrading every decade is also kinda crazy 😅
I went from a crappy GT 1030 pre-built with a 3rd Gen i5 to an RX 7900 GRE with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D. A very massive jump for me.
I upgraded my GTX680(when first released) to a 6700xt a year or so ago. I was going for the 6800xt but I couldn't pass up the sweet $200 deal I got on the 6700xt. One of the most profound upgrades I've done, and I probably won't even consider a new GPU for at least a few more years.
Man i was playing with GTX 650Ti for as long as i can remember and i upgraded to 4050 a few months ago and i cant believe how smooth everything is
I went from a integrated graphics of an Intel i7 4th generation to a 4070 super :')
well, i went from a ryzen 5 2400 g integreted graphics to a rx 7800 xt.
I knew some prople who up until recently were using "HD Ready" TV as a monitor, HD ready meaning it supported up to 720i/720p
