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.

as if that card released over 4 years ago? you're lying!! wow god I remember those days! if I remember correctly the 7870 at the time matched the GTX 580 and I was like wow! :o haha :p
 
Asus HD 7870 DirectCU II which I bought on 25/03/2013. Just waiting for my Sapphire RX 480 Nitro OC to arrive to replace it at the moment :D
 
Still on an OG Titan however I bought it in March 2015 as a straight sidegrade from watercooled 780. Only reason was I like the name and status of the titan card :cool:

Been at the same performance level for over 2 years and it is starting to show it's age. Witcher 3 and GTA V were fine at 1440p but mirror's edge catalyst struggles.

Given that the Titan was the top card 3 years ago I preordered a 1080 with the hope it will last me 3 years. Though I am just starting to hope it will arrive within 3 years.
 
Had a 7870xt for about 3-4 years. Thinking about upgrading to a 1070, but struggling to justify spending that much
 
After my msi r9 280x from 2013 died a couple months ago, a reference 4850 512 mb from 2008 and it still works like a charm.
Gotta say its surprising how well it can run some of the latest games,even overwatch is playable.

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.

I just did the same, got a NVidia card but I have a freesync monitor
 
7950 Twin Forza III purchased for £251.99 on 31 October 2012. Coming along for four years now.

Have a RX480 Nitro OC+ on order to replace it now. Should get 30% more oomph I think, minimum.
 
6870 1GB, coming up to 5 years old, came with the machine. Still does surprisingly well, obviously wouldn't have a hope in any big new releases but older titles and indie stuff run great.
