Neat thread.

Nvidia Riva TNT2 Ultra -> 8200GT -> 9600GT -> GTX 275

Just now realized I've never had an ATi card. 5870 looks mighty appealing...

He just killed his new 5770 while overclocking it a little bit ago.

I'm not sure what I've had before but I went from an 7600GT to an 8800GT. I'm fine until something proves otherwise.

And after I'm done with midterms, hopefully I can get a chart together to see how often people upgrade, or how big their jumps usually are.
hehe it was just a joke my friend

Overclocking is a relationship between you and the processor.
Both of you have to want to overclock in order for it to happen.
You can be all for it, but nothing's going to happen if the processor doesn't agree.
