Your graphics card history tree?

[Derek Byrne]

Ye Gods!.. help me..

I think it goes like this:
nVidia 760 (? or some variation of the 700 series)
1080 ti

Currently wishing for the 3080 Asus OC Strix, as it will be my first investment into RTX for Cyberpunk 2077.

 

[fuzzout]

I just read the first page posts and was like "Are they forgetting to list their new cards?" and then I looked at the date the comments were posted... Holy cow how far we've come in 13 years...

 

[TNA]

Got back into pc gaming in 2004. As you can see I am an Nvidia fanboy! Thought I would get that in before anyone says anything!

Lol. Ya fanboy you!

XfX GTX 260 (Core 216) (2009-2011)
Asus Strix 3090 Hell of a gap from my last card (2021-???)

Not as lengthy as many here but hoping to change that going forwards. Would love to give AMD gpu's a whirl if RDNA3 turns out to be a surprise hit.
