JPR: GPU market is slowing down, shipments decreased by -19% year-to-year

Nvidia continues to dominate while AMD and Intel fight for scraps. Still surprising how much % Intel has managed to secure with entry level GPUs.

I don't see how Intel managed to get a 5% of the market unless they've almost floored China with them, because I don't remember them being available anywhere else (except Korea in Samsung laptops).

It's quite suspicious.

In any case, scalpers and crypto miners are no longer buying cards (the first ones are having troubles selling the ones they got, which fills me with joy), but that will change when the new Nvidia and AMD cards launch.

Alright so GPU prices are now at a point where my brain constantly wants to buy one.

But also now the crazy part of my brain is back and tells me to just screw it and go 4k.
The idea here is, I paid for full AM4 on my motherboard and now I am going to use all the AM4 on my motherboard and upgrade my CPU from a 3700X to a 5900X or 5950X
Then the PSU gets upped to around 700W
And then I need a 4K GPU that is not overly expensive. Fuck the 3090.

Is there any up-to-date list out there of GPUs ranked by performance per $ and performance per Watt?
Only found some that were 2 years old.

Atm I am thinking about a 6800XT. Because I don't care about ray tracing. While the game dev in me really likes that we are making progress in that field none of the games I own and plan to own support it. I play old shit and RTS games so StarCraft 2 and AoE4 are currently about 90% of my gaming activity.

That would be an impressive CPU upgrade.

As for where to find those charts, the answer to both is the same: TechPowerUp.

Not only you can find a relative performance chart for each GPU in their database (here's the one for the 6800XT you mentio), but in their reviews they have a Performance per Dollar (here's for the 6800XT, in base of the launch price in 2020), and they also have a performance per Watt, lately renamed to Efficiency (and yes, I'll also link here the one from their 6800XT review).

I hope it helps.
