Show HN: Most GPU Upgrades Aren't Worth It, I Built a Calculator to Prove It

i miss the Apple GPUs, specially bcs for higher VRAM they compute quite well, not even talking about power efficiency.
For my use-cases very often the low VRAM is the limiting factor, where the Apple GPUs often shine, the Apple Tax if seeing this way is nowadays quite low :D
Totally agree :-)
I'm not interested in gaming, but if you had a version for AI, I'd be using it!
You can filter in the side bar (or button "Filters" on mobile) by:
- Gaming
- AI
- Rendering
- Datacenter

While browsing PC building forums and Reddit, I kept seeing the same question: “What should I upgrade to from my current GPU?” Most answers are just lists of cards without showing the actual performance gain, so people often end up paying for upgrades that barely improve performance.
So I built a small tool: a GPU Upgrade Calculator.
You enter your current GPU and it shows:
estimated performance gain
a value score based on price vs performance
a filtered list of upgrade options (brand, price, VRAM, etc.)
The goal is simply to help people avoid spending money on upgrades that aren’t really worth it.
Curious to hear feedback from HN on the approach, data sources, or features that would make something like this more useful.
