Your GPU progression?

Nvidia 5600 ??
Nvidia 6800LE
ATI X1800XT
Nvidia 8800GT
Nvidia GTX 260 192

Next? I've never paid more than $200 for a video card. My 1800XT and GTX 260 purchases came towards the end of their lifetime and thus I got pretty good deals on them. I bought the 8800GT the second time they got to $200. The first being at launch, the second being when they came back in stock in large numbers about 3 months later. I did 1 RMA for the 8800GT and 2 RMAs for the 260. I'd like to go AMD just because of this recent history but am waiting till all the cards are on the deck before I make my decision. Probably won't be adhering to the $200 pricepoint.

Let's just say it starts with an EGA adapter and ends with a pair of GTX 460's.

so is folding a gpu killer or what?

i've always thought of folding with my rig, but im going to sell the gtx 480 and get a gtx 580, hopefully they maybe drop in price during black friday

I cant wait for this thread to hit page 2, so somebody will open up a new one exactly like it and I can cut and paste this shit for the 10th or so time.

Yes, your cards are getting more and more expensive. Or was that not what you meant? :D

The ones I remember are

GeForce 4600Ti (amazing card)
Radeon 9600 Pro (?) (not really that much of an upgrade but newer shader support)
GeForce 8800 GTS 640 (Great card also)
GeForce GTX 460 1GB (Awesome so far, easy to OC, fairly quiet and great price/performance).

Via intergrated
Nvidia 6200
ATI 3850 then another for crossfire
ATI 4890

Such a small list compared to some.
 
Too many over the years. Several that I don't remember.

Several ISA (Trident.. Diamond)
Several PCI Cards (Diamond and Matrox)
Earliest I can specifically think of is an:
ATI Rage Pro
Several 3dfx Voodoo cards with last being a Banshee.
Several Nvidia Cards
Ati 8500 aiw
Ati 9600 xt aiw
Nvidia 6800 Ultra
Nvidia 8600/9500s
Nvidia GTS 250

(not so much a progression as I have had cards in several machines that were being run at a time.
