GPU rank/ability question

[Ryknow]

First I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere. I read the stickied threads and I didn’t think they quite answered what I was looking for.

 

For the in between time of now and next year I was going to build a pc for my kids that my wife could use too to play on for now until I can build her own system. One of the games she plays is Planet Zoo. I went to the recommended specs and was blown away to find it recommends a 8GB GPU to play.

 

1. I couldn’t find a list that ranks GPUS based on performance v cost. Userbench doesn’t quite answer it. Essentially it recommends a Radeon 580 or GTX 1070 (or equivalent). Only thing close to a tier list for performance linked me to GPUs that were anywhere from $500-$1,000. My 2080 super was only in the $700 range but I can’t see spending that kind of coin (500-700 range) without just breaking down and getting another 2080 super which is overkill for what my kids would need, and may as well wait for when I’m able to build her pc for that. Does such a list exist?

 

2. Can anyone better explain the reaction/scale between say a 1070 v a 2070 or any other gpu, 1660 Ti or any gtx vs the newer rtx variants. I thought I understood but the more I read the more confused I become. I thought the relation was the GPUs are similar but the 2070 had newer better components and more power usage/capabilities. 
 

Thanks in advance for reads and replies.

https://www.mooreslawisdead.com/gpu-ranking is a pretty decent chart, although it's a rather light look at expected relative performance that doesn't take into account certain games working better with certain company's products

Well first of all required specs for games are usually off and are usually based on something else, so it's not accurate that is way over kill for that game 

 

Second of all to rate these gpus 

The 1660ti offers more performance for the buck out of all of them out performing the 1070 but the 1070 has more vram which will help in open world games, the 2080super out performs all of them and is the worst bank for the buck over all the difference between the 16 series and rtx one is that the rtx one has dlss and rtx cores but they are both on 12nm  the 1070 uses Pascal and is really efficient bringing good performance but won't last long and generally really expensive 

 

 

Over all I recommend the 1660ti you can find good ones with food vrms and pcbs and capacitors for around the price of 280-350 bucks 

 

Hope this answered your question

Great, a trash optimization title

 

Seems like a GTX 1080 doesnt maintain 60fps at 1080p ultra settings, which puts the 2070 Super as the minimum for GPU if you want 1080p60 ultra settings. 1080 is similar to the 2070 in older DX11 games.

 

Stepping down to 1080p high, even the 1660Ti couldnt maintain 60fps, so let's say you need a 2060 for that

 

1. There are a few cards that are considered "peak of price to performance", the 1660S, 2060, 2060S/5700XT (driver stability versus raw performance), and 2070 Super.

 

2. Tbh, just check benchmarks. Scaling is inconsistent in different games.

Hmmm. Is there a list that at least say something to the effect of “GPUs abc are good for 1080 @ 60 fps  and GPUs xyz are good for 1440 @ 120 fps”? (Just throwing numbers around)

Depends on the games some gpus are called " 1080p cards" but can sometimes run games at 1440p really depends on what game your scaling at

@Arrogath I’m sorry, I missed your reply. Thanks for the link!

every game's different, so even if there is one it would be pretty useless if not misleading
