How old is your primary GPU ?

BFG10K said:
I've had my original Titan 6GB for three years, which is a change for me because I usually upgrade every new generation.

I'm still completely satisfied with the performance so I'll probably skip this generation too.

Interesting results.

My primary gpu is 4 years 4 months old.
Sapphire 7870 2gb memory, bought march 2012.
I dont see the point of upgrading every year.

I'm slightly surprised how young the results are, though I guess on a tech forum you'll always get younger results than the market as a whole due to interest in the sector. Edit: Though, I guess in general people use laptops and throw them away so maybe less skewed than I'd been assuming. *shrug*

I suspect a handful of forum members will be shocked the other way

7970, about 4 years old.

I'm really beginning to feel its age, but I've mostly been playing BF3 and Skyrim recently do the performance was fine. Upgrade time now that mid range cards double my performance!

Used to have a 660 2GB, so 3-4 years old. But sold that, so nothing atm.

1 month (GTX 1080)

Before the GTX 1080 I had two 780ti in SLI which I bought on 27 Nov 2013
And before the 780ti I had two GTX 580 in SLI which I bought on 17 Jan 2011 02:11:00

So I seem to upgrade roughly every 2 1/2 years...(IE about every other Gen)

I've had a 980Ti for about one year. Shouldn't be any chance of needing to get anything faster for quite some time yet. I tend to alternate between brands, so the next one probably will be an AMD card - despite me recently buying a g-sync monitor.

A GTX 670 2Gb, it serves me. I don't play many video games theses days and when I do I only play counter strike source and Age Of Empires 2 HD so unless it goes wrong I won't be replacing it.

980ti which is around a year old. Barely gaming theese days so it's a bit overkill.

Strife212 · 25 Jul 2016 at 18:42

980Ti bought when it came out.

Killer7xx · 25 Jul 2016 at 18:53

I've had my 780Ti for almost 3 years now, still holds up okay for 1200p gaming. Waiting until next year to upgrade to a Vega GPU.

GTX 970 one year old in 10 days.

bru · 25 Jul 2016 at 19:03

970 22 months old

what type?

Sargatanas2511 · 25 Jul 2016 at 20:16

Sapphire 390X last October. I got it for £300 and for the money it's an excellent card.

Jono8 · 25 Jul 2016 at 20:20

1 week

1070

Gerard · 25 Jul 2016 at 20:21

Just over a month as it had to be rma'd

Strix 980 ti.

nashathedog · 25 Jul 2016 at 20:29

12 month old Fury Pro.
I'm constantly itching but it doesn't need replacing especially not before I go up from 60hz @ 1080p.

razorpakk · 25 Jul 2016 at 20:29

One month, 1070.
I always sell and buy my card each generation, saving a lot for each upgrade.

And why not? It's not like there's ever a CPU worth buying...

Nick1881 · 25 Jul 2016 at 20:46

Mines less than a week, 1060.

My last card was just over 2 years old R7 250 passively cooled.
