GT 220
ATI 5770
GTX 580 (Palit)
GTX 780 (Reference)
GTX 1080 (GLH)

The GT220 was a joke looking back now, but before that I was a console gamer with a Wii so it blew me away being able to go above 480p in games :)

Quite firmly rooted in the red camp, only one purchased excursion to green. May have forgotten one or two. This represents 16 years of cards. I don't upgrade very often..

Riva TNT M64
Geforce 2 MX
ATI Radeon 9500
ATI EAH 3650 Passive
ATI HD4890
AMD HD6950

..and then always seem to buy at the budget <£100 end of things, apart from the two latest cards which were a bit more.

Not playing so much these days but feel the need to upgrade the 5 year old card since buying a few games this year. Maybe a RX 460 this time around.
