I still rocking with 2 GTX 460 1GB SLI. I'm waiting for the GTX 860. I guess my GPUs would be considered low-end now.
Apparently people are giving their own interpretation as to what ultra high end is.
This poll is going places.
I have another question which is fairly relevant to the thread. What resolution do people use their cards for?
I voted 4 way hi end, HD6970 was a high end GPU in its day.....

The original chart doesn't say mid, high, low, does it?
the chart only sorts out the classes.
cirteria for low, midrange, high, ultra high is subjective. see post #1 for explanation of categories.
Ya, that is very subjective. Based on that criteria, I have two low end GPU's with 680's.
Sell the 5850s now before the ASIC plow demolishes their value completely.
if you are running i.e. triple 2560x1440 (11MP) then yes two 680 will be fair for that resolution. if you are running 120hz as well then two 680 will be way low for that resolution n refresh.

to keep all gpu on the same playing field. a resolution has to be choosen.
some are still running below 1920x1080. few are running above 1920x1080. however majority of users' are running 1920x1080p. that is what the choosen baseline is.
The other factor is FPS target. I have a high FPS target. I want 80+ FPS in normal 2D and 60+ in 3D and I do have a 120hz monitor.
The reason for those high FPS is my simulator sickness kicks in at FPS lower than 80. I have to live with it in 3D, and take breaks after no more than an hour.
given that target. recommend - trisli 780/titan. 680 sli not cutting it.
680 SLI is enough, just not at Ultra. Games still look good on high.
