I Have a Problem .

[p_monks33]

Hello, my name is Patrick, and I am addicted to GPUs. This GPU cycle I have had: 3 different 680s, a Lightning, reference Evga, and reference MSI. Two watercooled 7970's a Visiontek and a XFX. Two Galaxy 660's. A MSI 7850 TF, a MSI 7870 , and a MSI 7770.
Dont be ashamed stand up and speak your addiction fellow forum members. Lol

Don't worry man...

I have you beat my a long shot. just this Gen I've had 5 7970's a 680, 2x 7870 hawk's and a Titan.

But of course you already knew that since you have/had/will have a couple of them from me.

To put it short I can't even list the video cards I have in my sig cause they don't allow for enough characters. =)



BTW, I did get the Hawk out to you yesterday.

 

[p_monks33]

Awesome, another member. That list is just current gen cards lol. I have had at least 15 last gen cards this year as well. The postal service loves me , as does newegg.

I had my time. In a span of under two years I went thru a 7600GT, 8600GTS, 2x8800GT and an HD 4870 along with 5 CPUs and 3 motherboards. Finally ended up happy with the PhenomII X4 940 and 4870 combo, eventually the bug leaves.

Great read, thanks guys. We understand you, and your Ilk.

I have owned over 50+ Gpu's in total - Probably have had 20 at one time.

My favorites - 8800 GTX, 9800GX2, 7950GX2, 4870x2, GTX 280, GTX 295 and 9500 Pro..

This gen I have only owned a 7850 2GB and 7950.

 

[nanaki333]

this gen i started with 2x 7970 cards, then a gtx 690, then 2x titans. i sold 1 7970, put the other 7970 in my wife's pc, gave my 690 to a good friend. it would take awhile to list every GPU i've ever had. i have the illness of being an early adopter

 

[lavaheadache]

I would have to guesstimate that over my pc gaming lifetime I have purchased about 150-200 cards.

I'll represent the other end of the spectrum.

Two 680s, a 7870, 7950 and two Titans. I am done this round until 20nm.

I envy your staying power. I have recently fired up my GTX 285 and realized that at res of about 1680x1050 a card like that is still powerful enough for near max details in most games.

Even my 3870 X2 played crysis 2 fairly well on high settings

2x Reference 680s, 4X Reference 670s, 1x 660, 3x 7950s, 5x7970s, 1x 7850, 2x 7770, 4x 7750, 1x Titan


All in 1 year.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

If anyone is looking to complete the 9th step let me know, I'm looking for a decent video card but I'm a bit poor atm.

 

[Fx1]

What did you hope to gain?

I bought a 7970 non GE and im running 1125/1700 14/7 and all for £300 with 3 free games.

Next up is a 20nm GPU.

 

[lilrayray69]

Stayed with my HD5770 for 4 years, as well as my CPU/mobo. Just recently upgraded to what's listed below like 2 months ago...

I'd be an early adopter and GPU enthusiast if I had the money though

 

[lavaheadache]

it's fun and you hardly loose much money at all if you dump at the right time.

It's always that "if you dump at the right time" that is the stumbling block:biggrin:

 

[DooKey]

This generation I've owned 2x 7970, 2x GTX 680, 2x 7770, 2x 660Ti, 2x 650 Ti, 1x 650, 2x Titan.

 

[Black Octagon]

You're all insane.

Have a nice day

This. All things considered I was pleased to get $400 a piece for the 680s I paid $500 for on launch day. A lot better than the bath I usually take on reselling flagship cards. My 480s got me $200, $180 and $160 respectively. $500 at retail cost.

It actually died on me a couple weeks ago and I was getting ready to purchase a 7950, but then I remembered I had a lifetime warranty and got it RMAed. Will probably hold out for 20nm now.

 

[alcoholbob]

Yes, I probably am addicted to GPU performance, considering 95% of games I play are on PS3 or Xbox360, yet I'm upgrading my GPU every 12 months.

I see it as Lava does, if you have the money to do,it, and you enjoy it, why not? I rarely leave my house when I'm not working, so I spend my money on things I can enjoy without leaving.
