Currently. R9 270x 4GB. Size is a major issue, being a mini itx boy.

Unlike my AMD/Intel mental issues, I've never had the same brand fanboy problems with GPU's. I do with manufacturers though. Sapphire all the way these days, which does limit my choice somewhat.

GPU history post 2001: Geforce 3 ti 500, Geforce 4 ti 4200, 9600pro, x800pro (bios modded, much love), 4850, 5770, 6870, 6850, 7850, r9 270x. Whatever the colour, it's always mid range or lower... :o

Interesting to see people upgrading multiple times within a single generation. Selling on cards while the 2nd hand value is still reasonable? Or just an upgrade itch that must be scratched :p
 
I had two rigs for quite a while,and more often than not had one Nvidia card and an AMD card. Plus I liked tinkering with new cards,and did not loose much from selling them on.

The HD5850 1GB I had was my favourite card of all. I picked it up cheaply,it overclocked massively and I ended up selling it for more than what I paid for!! :)

Owned a lot of cards in the past. Only not so good experiences were with AMD cards so these days am Nvidia only until I feel like taking a chance such as if they pull ahead by a margin. I'm willing to pay extra for what I feel are products that are of higher quality and I feel have had more R&D on both hardware and software.

Oh, they were black first :). Green is more friendly but just realised it's also the Nvidia colour. I feel people will tell me to not base my graphics card buying decisions on my own experiences as my own experiences are apparently wrong.

:p
 
AMD X300SE -I know
6600GT -Ace card, was so happy playing doom 3 on it and getting good fps.
7800GT -Worst card Iv owned ever
X1900XTX -Best card iv owned. Timeless workhorse even now.
X1900XTX/X1900 CROSSFIRE- Hot and Very very loud. Microstuttered: got rid of fairly soon.
8800GTS 320 Great little card and a bargain. Loved that one but memory leaked sometimes during certain games (I think drivers solved the problem).
HD 3870X2- Cant fault it for drivers or performance but got fed up waiting for crossfire compatible driver.
HD 4850- OK but too slow for crysis :P
HD 4870- Noticeable improvement over 4850.
7970- Great card
