What single video card did you run for the longest time?

I played the shit out of Quake, Nexuiz, and Half-life 2 with this card. (Pic related. Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9000 Pro) It was surprisingly capable. No DirectX 9 support, though. I had a PNY FX5200 PCI card that I would switch out for Shader Model 2 games.

That being said, you can still run a R300 ATi GPU in 2019, some people over at the XDA Forums hacked a driver that works in Win 8/10:

For Linux, ATi's opensource drivers will cover those GPUs.

plebs, still using my xfx 7970 from 2012, this monster was mining until 2015 and gaming since then
can still run modern shit at good feeps so I don't see myself switching, I'm gonna be very sad when it dies

MX440 i think, then the 9600GSO. Honestly GPU is the part that i change often.

Yeah, I ran XP. Now I run 7 and will continue to do so until I give up on games entirely and go full freetard.

some 512mb nvidia up to 2008 since i forgot now, was a beast. gigabyte 750ti atm and for past 5 years, beast as well. tried few brands in between few failed few were crap.

need to ubgrade now. 1550ti, 1060 or this new 1660 ti, i don't know. what do? prices are stupid, it is waste of deutchmarks.

it can last until YOU die provided you make sure you regularly make sure it doesn't overheat and gets ample cooling. clean out heatsinks frequently

ATI FirePro V4800. Shit ran CAD like a fucking champ.

Ran an R9 280 for like 5 years.

same
I remember being blown away first time I got it when I was able to run C&C generals at full graphics
Got rid of it circa 2010, upgraded to a radeon something something so I could play starcraft 2

It was a built in GPU from my parents second have prebuilt. Something like Intel 945G chipset

12MB Voodoo2

9600 XT for 6 years.

I mostly dicked around in Source game servers the last 3 years since it couldn't run anything else.

GTX 280 for like 6 years. Jumping to a 970 was like a breath of fresh air, despite the 3.5 meme.

Radeon 9200, Did both a Pentium 3 and Pentium 4 until I got enough money to build a new system.

I also ran a voodoo^2 for an obscenely long time as a poorfag, on a rig with a celeron mx333.

8800GT picked it up at launch and used it till I got a 750ti. Used that for a few years until I picked up a 1080ti.

No idea. Probably something recent like HD 7990 or RX 480 when I didn't really need processing power anymore. Otherwise I've been swapping GPUs constantly since the late 90's.

750 ti master race here

I had a 7300GS until 2010. Fan died in around 2007. Could play CSS on low settings so I didn't mind.
The 460 that replaced it blew my mind

An MXM Radeon HD 2600 Pro

560Ti, from 2011 to late 2018.
Got a 970 from my brother, otherwise I would have kept using it till it died.

945G built in from 2007 to 2014
It's still around but it hardly ever gets any use

9600 for a decade from 03-2013 when that pc died
6970 for 4 years from 2010-2014
Gtx 1080 for almost 3 years
Compared to Vega 56 that I had for a month and sold fuck that garbage

9600m gt from 2008-2015
r9 390 since 2015

I had the 560ti from release until late 2016. Even in 2016 I still never felt much incentive to actually upgrade the video card for gaming, I was getting CPU bound more often than not. I expect my 2016 build of a 6600k and 1060 6GB with 48gb ram to last until 2026 unironically. Computer advances have slowed dramatically and I also don't game that often.

Matrox Millenium 1995->Now
Used continuously, first as primary machine 1995-2000 and afterwards repurposed and kept in service for a reader/programmer for proprietary ROMs and for accessing legacy media.

AMD HD 7970 2012-2018

GTX 770M, from 2013 til 2018 in my boat anchor ibuypower laptop. Could still reliably run Witcher 3, definitely got my moneys worth

RTX 2080ti

Good card I had a 4gb desktop windforce version from 2013-2016

Gtx 1050ti

EVGA 560 TI lasted me from 2012-2017

HD 4850 2008-2017

Radeon 7970M. From 2013. Still using it now. It started showing its age a couple of years ago but I don't buy new games so I'm good. I'll probably still use it for a couple more years

Fx5900xt

AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series since early 2012. Still works, still using it.
My computer is a used office workstation, and can just barely run GTA 5 fine (peaks of 95% CPU usage and about 40-50 FPS max on mostly the lowest settings). Drew enough power that it tripped the breaker on my crappy UPS. I've got a higher wattage one now.
Most of the very few games I play aren't super taxing to run, I mostly tend to be held back by the CPU in other tasks.

Still using it. GTX 680.

Either
>ATI 3D Rage Pro PCI + Voodoo 2
or
>GeForce 2 MX

560 Ti from 2011 to 2019.

:3

6970m in my late 2011 imac (since late 2011, still using it)

7800GS because it was the last agp card

An GeForce 320M from 2010 until 2016

Ati 4850. From 2009 to 2018...

That would be the GTX 285

Did you play modded Skyrim? You'll come back crying for a better gaming rig soon.

My history goes:

Intel GMA 950 (integrated)
Radeon HD4650
NVIDIA 9800GT

The 9800GT was a good card for my needs, but I quit video games by 2011.

don't know if this counts, but i've used intel hd 2000 from 2011 to present.

HD 5770 for about 9 years

>That being said, you can still run a R300 ATi GPU in 2019
No shit, moron. Why wouldn't you be able to run it? The technology hasn't suddenly disappeared.

I'm still on 6770. Also have it since 2012. or so. Only play bf4, overclocked it can run it pretty well.

Probably my Voodoo2 ;_;7

Gamers are such brainless consumers. No wonder companies make so much pandering gear for you, you'll buy anything!

I can't tell the exact year my family got their first computer, but I've followed a fairly uniform 4 year cycle ever since. Don't even know what graphics card was in the family computer between around 1995 and 2000 (~5y), but then we had a Geforce 2 MX in another prebuilt until 2004 (4y), then I bought my first own computer with a Geforce FX 5500 until 2008 (4y), then I bought a laptop with a Geforce 8600M-GT which failed in 2011 (3y), at which point I built a computer with a Geforce GTX 560 Ti that I retired in 2015 (4y) for a Geforce GTX 970. Technically this makes me due for an upgrade this year, but improvements are so marginal and prices so high that I'm considering slapping a mad cooler on the 970, overclocking it and trying to run it for another 2 years.

GTS 250 for 5 or so years

8800GTS for ~10 years
bought a new compooper in 2015 I think

Had a Geforce 7900 GTO from 2007 until late 2011. My current build has stayed the same for a while though. Bought my 980 ti at launch (june 2015), and the only reason I got a 1080 is because evga swapped it to that when I sent it in for repair.

I was hoping one of the companies would have a good gpu release this year so I could do a new build, but I think I'm gonna wait a year or so. I imagine by then my older haswell cpu will be more of an issue in multithreaded games.

Had a secondhand 5770 from 2011 to 2018. Finally replaced it with a GTX 1080 right around the time it started to fail
