That card seems pretty fantastic! What happened to your old card (I assume something being wrong with it caused the happy days to end at some point prior). "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

The old card is fine... it's just old (GTX 680). Happier days, is probably more apt.

I "upgraded" my Radeon 6850 to a Gforce 640 (I won it at a lan party last year). they are fairly close in performance, but the radeons always spin up the fans to full speed when you do dual monitor, and I can't stand that. -- |

Are you planning to play GTA V @ 4K with that thing? Agui GUI API -> https://github.com/jmasterx/Agui |

My HD 6850 hasn't run into anything that I need it to that it can't. But that does sound like a badass GPU. (Looks up the price...)

The card comes with a coupon for a free copy of The Witcher 3, so I'll be playing that soon. bamccaig said: (Looks up the price...) It's a little more than I had intended to spend, but hopefully it'll last me as long as my GTX 680 did, which is 2 1/2 years. Even if I replace it in a year and a half, that's not too bad for half a week's salary.

My GeForce GT 440 is still working fine. Plays Skyrim, what else do I need? EDIT: This way I can pretend my computer is a Plymouth Roadrunner with a 440 because I can't presently afford one TeamTerradactyl: SevalecanDragon: I should shoot you for even CONSIDERING coding like that, but I was ROFLing too hard to stand up. I love it! |

GeForce 9600 GT. 7th year in service, still alive and kicking. Thumbs up for that one hell of a graphics card.

Congratulations! I'm more than satisfied so far with my GTX 660ti as I haven't had any problems playing anything new at highest details. [My website][CppReference][Pixelate][Allegators worldwide][Who's online] |

I'm still waiting for the new AMD r9 3xx series to be released as I expect the prices to drop at that point. I'm still doing fine with my old card playing cs:go, but now with my 144hz monitor I expect that I'll have to upgrade soon to play any new games at what I deem an acceptable frame rate now.

First the fan ball bearings go out, and you replace the fan for half the price of the card, and then later: the GPU slowly dies. First it crashes randomly and windows recovers the driver. Then it crashes more and more frequently. It got to the point any YouTube video would kill the driver, and any game that used the Source engine would kill the driver. (And yes, I updated the bloody drivers.) So it's like part of the card, or the GPU itself was fried. I bought one card, it died. Another card, it died, and finally when I had no money, I borrowed my brothers card and it died. Only took them a year or two each. I was buying them because they were the older generation so they were cheaper. And we're talking two completely different systems with different motherbards/cpus/etc. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that had horrible experience with that generation. Meanwhile this GTX 560 has been running for years without so much of a peep. -----sig: |

Wow that woman's voice pisses me off. She doesn't fit the video at all. -----sig: |

I disagree.
