Damn, I was hoping to read the part number and serial number so I could ruin your credit.

[aigomorla]

Meh.. i went though so many video cards..

i dont think i can keep track of all of them.

Just looking at the past 3 platforms in my main system alone...

6800GT -> 7800GTX -> HD3870 in Xfire -> HD4870X2 in QuadFire -> (kissed ATi goodbye) -> 580GTX in SLI.


UGH... I love the price / performance on ATI cards... however... Nvidia Owns in driver support and games.

 

[tigersty1e]

anandtech is one of the oldest sites out there. it's not surprising we have so many oldies here.

 

[crisium]

GeForce 2 MX 200 16mb (I think)
GeForce 2 GTS 32mb
GeForce 4 Ti4200 128mb
Radeon X1800XT 256mb
Radeon 3850 512mb
Radeon 4850mb

I've been able to hang onto my 4850 since 2008 for two reasons:
1)Consoles have partly stagnated PC game requirements
2)I still use a CRT. I play at 1920x1080 when I can, and have no problem going as low as 1280x720 if needed.
