Lots of people went from 7950/70's to 290's, I love how you post as fact when you have no idea.

Get some specs on lol. I don't dispute this fact hence why i said many upgraded whether they had a 680/7970. Read some sig's, i hardly ever see a gtx680 these days but there was plenty at one point.

People don't use 680s anymore because the 2gb of vram and 256 bit bus wasn't enough. Source I'm an ex 680 owner who upgraded to a 780 cause of lack of vram at 1440p. AMD users haven't upgraded from a 7970/50 as they were so future proof - the I regret not getting a 7970 a year ago instead of my 680 as I could have crossfired rather than upgraded.

Last i looked going on what people have in their sig and even if they have a sig isnt the best way to tell what cards users have had/still have. :p
I'd suggest 7970s/280's have had a longer lifespan sales wise and with the mining craze a lot more of them were around and that might be why You seem to see more of them around.

The mining craze has been over for a good few months now. Looking at peoples sigs which tell you what is in there machine is not the best way to tell me what's in there machines. That's a new one lol. Sure some people don't have one and some others might not update but short of asking everyone what they are using i think it's a pretty decent way to gauge what's being used.

So all because all the gpu's bought for mining have now been destroyed are now because the craze is over:rolleyes:
Or those same gpu's still floating around being used...

And yes please explain to me how you telling me What someone had in their rig before vs Now from their sig?
I'm also sure there are far more PC users in the world than use this forum , ands thats probably why you find most PC statistics dont use OCUK Forum Sig's for sweeping generalizations
