whats your upgrade history?
i'm looking at getting a poolaris card later on
>>
waiting for the gtx670 equivalent for the 1080 generation of cards.

I cant justify wasting my money like that
>>
>>54719811
*like you, actually

>>54719811
Polaris 10
or
1070 probably your best bet.

Depending on your budget and the performance gap, we'll see in coming weeks which is more bang/buck.

Buying my first gpu because I'm 19 and poor
I'm still waiting for Polaris lel

i made money on the 670, bought it second hand for 250, used it for a week and then flipped it for 300.

What $200 card should one buy in the near future? My HD 5770 broke a month ago. Don't do much gayming but some 3d work.

I've owned too many gpus to list. Voodoo, GeForce 1-4, ATI rage, you name it I've probably owned it. Nothing will ever beat the performance gain though of going to an ATi all in wonder 9700. Was the first 256mb vram card and it was amazing

>GTX 970: First card in my fourth build and replaced quickly, but was a decent card for the time I had it. Originally wanted a 980 Ti, but budget was limited at the time.
>GTX 980 Ti: Second card of my fourth build. Great card, but I sold it the day the 1080 was announced to get the most amount of profit.

Next card is going to be the GTX 1080, and I honestly am done for awhile. I am tired of upgrading cards.

>8800 GTX
First time I had money for a real PC. Kept it for a long time then I upgraded to a new PC when I got a real job:
>GTX 460 SLi
>Upgraded to GTX 660

Then I changed job and started getting paid much better so I built a new PC with a GTX 770, giving the older PC to my husband.

Then I got promoted and I'm now paid enough to afford a brand new top of the line PC every month so we got my husband a new PC with a SLi of GTX 980Ti. We sold the PC with the 660.

Replacing the GTX 770 in my PC with a GTX 1080 soon. Maybe a SLi, depending on how a single card performs in 4k. I'm also getting a new gaymen laptop with that fancy thunderbolt 3 thing so we can reuse the GTX 1080 for it when we upgrade to a GTX 1080 Ti.

First GPU was EVGA GTX 650, I accidentally short circuited it like a retard 5 months after getting it.

Second GPU was Sapphire HD 7870 then two years after I got a Palit Reference GTX 970.

Whenever I move to 1440p I may get a used GTX 980ti.

Too many memories of 2006/07.
>>
History starts 2009 for OP? Oh gosh.

Let's see..

Prior to 97 it was mostly integrated cards, Cirrus Logic and the likes. Maybe a Matrox or two thrown in there, possibly some ATI Mach / Rage cards.

After that:

- Intel 3D Express
- GeForce 256 (SDR memory version, couldn't afford the DDR version back then)
- GeForce 2 something
- GeForce 4 series (I believe it was either a 4400 or a 4600)
- GeForce 6600
- GeForce 8800 GT
- Then onto the ATI camp, either an X700 or X800, not sure
- ATI HD4850
- HD6850
- HD6970

And my current card, the GTX 960.

Don't make me laugh, faggot. When the 9[78]0 first came out, /g/ jumped on that shit like crazy. It was all like "why haven't you ordered your 970 yet??". The 3.5GB issue was only discovered 4 months after release. Why the fuck would anyone say to wait?
