7950 boost, I think it's almost 3.5 years now, unfortunately in Canada at 300$ price point nothing nice ever comes up. I could have gotten a 290 but it's a little more power hungry then I like, the 1060 is 400$ so that will take a while to come down

Radeon 7850 from late 2013 if I remember correctly.

GTX 1070 comes in next Tuesday.

Edit: It's a 7950 from November of 2012. The 1070 is roughly 3x even with my aging 2500K processor. Not too shabby.

980Ti which I've had for about 6 months now. It's the 3rd and possibly last GPU upgrade I've put in this system. Started off with a 680, went to 680 SLI and now the 980Ti. My next GPU purchase will probably coincide with an entirely fresh build.

Close to 3.5 years on a OG Titan. Have a 1080 right now and while it's a lot faster, I don't game much so I'm reselling it (before I start trying to TW3 again because that was actually really nice maxed out on the 1080 without the SLI microstutter).

I purchased a GTX 680 2GB in December 2013 and just upgraded to a GTX 780Ti 3GB so its either 3 years old or brand new depending upon how you look at it.

760 2GB ... Im still on my 20" Dell IPS from 2007, so it only needs to do 1680x1050.

But I don't really game on PC these days. Mainly xbone. But battlefield one and the fact that my PC is also hooked to my 4k TV has me wondering about 4k gaming. I don't even want to think about how old my primary rig is... 2500k. It probably couldn't handle it. I'm so out of touch.

Did sigs survive the changeover. Still have my Sig rig.

OG 980 1 and a half years old still going strong in 1080p. Until I am convinced I need the extra pixels on a 24inch monitor and that it will make my life happier I will be forced to upgrade, but for now I am good. Perhaps in a year or two good 1440p IPS monitors will come down in price and make buying a 1440p card more bearable.

AMD 6950 that I flashed to 6970, 5.5yrs old. I normally replace my card every 3 to 4 years, but this one was still doing okay with the games I play. The game that killed it was XCOM2 where I get into the single digits with control lag on busy scenes on minimum settings. The slideshow got so bad that I stopped playing the game and now I'm in the search for a 480 card.

Congrats for being able to squeeze every last FPS out of your 6970! I would have never been able to hold on to a GPU for that long. The RX480 is going to be a monumental upgrade, you will love it!

I'm still rocking the GTX 670 I bought in March of 2013. For me, its all about Mass Effect Andromeda. I refuse to play that game on my current setup. I will be buying the 1080ti (or AMD equivalent) to power a new ultrawide monitor I also plan on buying.

Last GPU I bought prior to the GTX 1070 I installed yesterday was a GTX 465. Between the 1070 and 465, somebody loaned me an R9 270X 4GB, though. Prior to those... 7800GTXs in SLI.
