Haha, you have been incredibly up to date the entire time, and I have been behind the times constantly! :p
 
Just my 7950, as time goes on I skip more and more generations it seems.

I will be another generation at least until I upgrade.

I suppose the mortgage may have something to do with it, **** that mortgage, **** that *******.
 
X2 7970s, X2 290xs, 270x, 280x, 7990, x2 980, x2 fury x.

Best bang for buck: 270x and cf 7970.

Hottest: 290xs before waterblocks.

Coolest: furyxs, barely break 45c.

Fastest: furyx in cf.

Best overall card: 980s, cool, powerful and great package all round.

What's the deal with the guys that have had 6 or 7+ over a 2 year period?

I mean if you've been mining or you're a reviewer then fair enough, but if not what the hell are you people doing with all these cards :confused:

x2 gigabyte windforce 670's in sli. Then x2 windforce 780's in sli. Now on a single gtx 980ti. I do prefer nvidia cards because they just work out of the box. No fiddling with drivers etc. Im a simple guy.:)
 
2 but just barely.

7970 lightning lasted 3 years. Was still doing just fine but decided to spend the remaining bitcoins collected by the 7970 before I lose them trying to get rich :P. Fury pro now.
Great free upgrade.

660 Pali superclock
670 MSi power edition

Never had a RMA in over 18 years of buying cards, but then some people here have had more cards in two years then I have bought over the last 18 years!
 
I'll bite,

How do you guys feel about the money that's cost you? This is particularly interesting when considering that some of these "upgrades" aren't really much of an upgrade.
 
Think I might be going back a bit more than 2 years, more like 4, but these are the ones I remember recently.

6950 flashed to 6970 - Sold - 1080p
7950 - Given to GF - 1080p
280X RMA'd - 1440p
770 RMA'd - 1440p
2 x 280X - Sold both - 1440p
290 - Still using - 1440p
2 x 290 - Still using - 4K
 
1x680 ( might not be within the 2 year window)
2x 780s
3x 970s

And am planning to buy the next nvidia cards x2 of the fastest single gpu version there is.
 
1 x MSI 680 Ref
2 x Evga 690*
2 x Palit 680 (4Gb) Jet Stream*
3 x Evga 670(4Gb) SC*
3 x Evga 680 Classified*
2 x MSI 7970 Ref*
3 x Asus Titans - 1 x RMA*
2 x Evga 780 Classified - Still have
1 x Evga TX
1 x XFX FX
1 x Evga 980ti - Using at the mo

* Represents my fool hardy attempt to run games (max settings) on a surround setup :D

A lot poorer :D
 
2012: New Sapphire Dual-X HD 7850 2GB
2013: Used MSI Twin Frozr III HD 7850 2GB (For Crossfire)
2014: Used Sapphire R9 290 (should have gotten a new Tri-X)

I would have kept the crossfire setup but @1440p I was hitting a VRAM wall with only 2GB and it always comes with it's issues, R9 290 just as fast without the issues of crossfire not scaling properly.
