A last minute check, What GPU are you running with? Pls?

Post » Wed Dec 03, 2008 6:07 am

Out of curiosity, who among us upgraded our gpu's more than once?
Or recently updated our gpu's just for Crysis 2?

Here's my history:
Geforce 5500, 7900, 8800 gt, 9800 gx2, gtx 465 and gtx 460
Ati Radeon 9550, x1500 and Hd 4670, 5770

This is just for fun, or plain curiosity. :D

My history: GeForce GT8800, GTX9800, GTX285.

I currently get 50fps on high and 90fps on low on Crysis Wars, using the GTX285. I do not plan on upgrading my GPU for Crysis 2, unless the recommended hardware exceeds what i already have.

my first playthrough with Crysis was with an 8800gt (performed well) it crapped out after a couple years so I dropped in a 4850. shortly after that I won a computer from a contest which included a 5870, lucky me :)

If I wasn't that fortunate I probably would be looking into a GTX460 at the moment, with another one to drop in down the line (they SLI so incredibly well.) this is also what i recommend to people who are upgrading/buying systems

9800GT for me, I'm not going to upgrade unless some decent DX11 cards get cheaper.

Damn Shinanigans, I'm surprised you can remember that far back, I wish I could remember my lineup, I remember my Voodoo 2 then my voodoo 3 3000 then I can't remember anything between that and the aTI 9800 PRO 8800GT, 4850 and 5870, heh.

I was 17 when i had the M64 :)

I forgot about my 12MB Voodoo2 card! Haha. That must've been the card i had prior to the M64. And prior to that i seem to recall an S3 Virge or something along those lines, but now you're really testing my memory :P

Yeah I was 16 when I snagged my Voodoo 2, but after the Voodoo 3 Im sure I had a riva tnt or something. If I recall the timeframe correctly after 3dfx basically went the way of the dodo(though really just aquired by nvidia) the only good choice was a RivaTNT and subsequent nvidia cards for some time, until ATI figured it should start trying on the consumer level. ;)

Been using the same rig for almost four years now, but I've only gone through a few graphics cards, as I've overclocked them all

History:
8500 GT
EVGA Overclocked 8800GT
Then I bought Orange Edition fan slot from them, made the 8800 dual slot
Finally I bought a EVGA Overclocked Orange Edition, and they have been in SLI for 2 1/2 years

I'm not planning on upgrading my GPU for Crysis 2 until AMD's Bulldozer socket comes out and I can get a good 3.0 usb case

Geforce 8800 GT
Radeon 5850

This new Radeon is damned amazing. I haven't had a problem with anything yet. I can even play Crysis in 1080p at very high and the frames don't drop below an unplayable level.

wow you guys have been quite a lot.

Me ive just had a desktop with no proper graphics card, then a dell studio 1555 laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 which i ran crysis on medium settings with roughly 35fps.

Im looking forward to the lower system requirements with better graphics in crysis 2 because i cant afford a better rig at the moment.
