If you could have any GPU, which one would you want and why.

if we are taking most remembered, influential on me personally. then it would be the 3dfx voodoo 2. my first graphics accelerator, i remember glide in nfs 3 hot pursuit looked unbelievable! changed my life, in a way

I'm totally off GPUs tbh. I find myself building machines where 50-60% of the budget goes on productivity ie SSDs

GPU = Gaming machine = Time wasted

james_2k · 17 Jun 2013 at 19:19

gpu could also = folding etc

Titan, for obvious reasons!

Ok maybe not so obvious, i want the 6GB mem and this is why, i play loads of Skyrim, mods cane the memory like crazy and i want as much overhead as possible

a 8990

== massive energy bills and bad for our environment.

Watercooled Asus matrix or MSI lightning 8970 without any stupid techonolgies like BOOST!
But gtx 880 matrix or lightning would be ok as well.

Geforce fx5500

12GB PNY NVIDIA Quadro Plex 7000, because they cost £13 grand so I could sell it then build a killer quad Titan SB-E hexcore system and have cash left over for hookers and coke.

This. So who's buying then?

Surely a more suitable question would be 'in your history as a pc enthusiast, which graphics card did you want to of own the most and why?'. Everybody will just answer titan or a more expensive card because they are the best out now.

So my input is: 8800 GTX. I really wanted one of those to play crysis when it was released. It decimated every game out there on release and was more than twice as fast as the previous generation. Thankfully i got an 8800GT in 2008 which i was more than happy with but i had to play crysis on an x1950 GT on medium/low. Still had a blast and it remains one of my favourite games.

I don't know what I'd have, as I already have what I want. Maybe a 3rd Titan lol.

james_2k · 18 Jun 2013 at 16:09

shouldnt have bought that expensive cpu then

Marine-RX179 · 18 Jun 2013 at 17:03

ANY GPU huh?

Provided it is still PCI-E 2.0/3.0 or at least backward compatible, the top-end single GPU card from either Nvidia or AMD 10 years from the future (along with working, problem-free drivers for Windows 7)...if PC gaming will survive for that long that is...

Tute · 18 Jun 2013 at 17:04

I'm constrained by size, so probably the GTX670 DirectCu Mini.

Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? :eek:

Gregster · 18 Jun 2013 at 20:09

I would like a 7990 and would kick it every now and then...To be fair, I think I would do that with every AMD card I got for free
