Resolution : 1920 x 1200
GPU/GPUs : 780Ti
Because : Recently upgraded from a 680 to a B Grade Gigabyte Reference 780Ti for £200. Price / performance was the key factor, near 980 performance for less than half the cost. I am happy with pre-owned cards as long as they are from a decent manufacturer and trusted seller.
Extras: Prolimatech MK26 air cooler with 2 x Bitfenix 140 PWM fans + Modded BIOS.

Resolution : 1920x1080
GPU/GPUs : nVidia GTX 980Ti
Because : Great price @ £499.99 delivered
Extras: Looking to get another and go to 2560x1440 or wait until there are some more G-Sync 3840x2160 monitors out, with better build quality also.

GPU: Asus Nvidia GTX580 Direct CUII

Resolution: 1920 x 1080
GPU/GPUs: MSI GTX780 Lightning
Because: I can't afford anything better and only managed this after a bike accident payout.
Extras: 3 x Volt/Ammeters running values on the VChecks. Soon to be Watercooled, as well. EK, if it matters any.

Resolution: 1920 x 1080
GPU: MSI Gaming GTX 770
Reason: It was a very good upgrade from the horrible 550 ti and was happy with it just up until a few months back. Played everything including Witcher 3 with ease and never had any issues. Will be going for 980 soon as 2gb vram is not enough anymore for some games with overblown textures (looking at you Batman!)

Resolution: 1920 x 1200 + 1600 x 1200 (Dell 2408wfp & iiyama PLH540S)
GPU/GPUs: 1x MSI GTX 780 Gaming
Because: Ideal for my setup, runs everything at acceptably high settings whilst maintaining 60fps. I moved from an unlocked sapphire HD 6950 as it was drinking too many watts running twin screens at idle. Performance in crysis 3 and tombraider wasn't great either.
Extras: Full cover EK block and backplate and a modified bios to stop it boosting and force a constant 3d clock speed/voltage.

Resolution: 1080p 32" TV (32LB580V )
GPU/GPUs : 2x MSI 980 Ti Gaming 6G
Because : I am really loving the image quality of running DSR in 4K or close to it, and for that I need all the power I can get. I upgraded from 2x 980 G1's as they just couldn't cope running some games maxed out at 4K at 60fps.
