My 3DMark history results: from a 1070 to 3070 and a final 4070ti w/ a few cpu and monitor upgrades along the way

I thought some of you may find this useful. Now I do not overclock or tweek my bios. I also do not dive deep into the technical weeds. I upgrade either when I get the nagging hardware addiction bug or if my current hardware can no longer run games at very high to ultra. However in this case my 3070 died and I rushed out to MicroCenter and panic bought a 4070ti.

Normally there would have been no way in Hades I'd spend $850 for a video card. The stink of it all. I didn't realize my 3070 was still under warranty until a week later but after seeing the improvement of the 4070ti I'm wasn't going back. I just received the replacement 3070 yesterday from EVGA so I guess I now have a backup card.

Anyway to the scores.

As stated above I do not deep dive in the weeds and I'm not sure how much changing monitors affects the scores. So be aware I did not run 3DMARK this past fall when I upgrade from a Asus PG297QZ 1440p 165hz monitor with 2560x1440 display to an Alienware AW3423DWF 165hz 3440x1440 display.

I'll add some of mine, they are mostly enthusiast tier GPUs for the last 7 years. My results are all overclocked at the cards maximum, on air. It's crazy to think TimeSpy has been around that long. The 4090 was by far the largest jump in performance it's literally 3.8X the performance of a Titan X Pascal. All my GPUs have been average except for the 3090 which was below average.

And just for nostalgia while browsing and seeing my old results:

Not TimeSpy, But it's my oldest 3D Mark result that I kept. I'm not sure what happened to the results before 2003. Because I remember benching all the way back on 3DMark99 with my AMD k6-2 and S3 Savage 3D. But I think it was an entirely different site back then. MadOnion if I recall.

Same System but better tweaking/overclocking: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm03/525757 (4195 Overall). I remember being proud of this score back in the day.
