Since this is my first rig EVER:


4850 (died) > 4850 (killed it) > x600 (killed it) > HD4770 (killed it) > 8600GT (sold it) > GTX260 (sold it) > HD5770 (eventual crossfire )


LOL so sad. All this since Jan.

Back in 2001 I had a Compaq with integrated nVidia MX440, I then bought a Geforce FX 5600 for it, major jump. Then got a 6800Ultra, another big jump, then 7800GTX, 9600GT, GTX260.
