how often do you upgrade your video card, I'm rather interested in this.

9-12 months. Right now I'm over 12 months, but I'm waiting for DX11.

i just upgraded, my last video card was an 8800 GTS i bought in 2006

well technically my last card was a 4870 but my dad destroyed it and it couldn't be rma'd

It usually just depends for me, if there's a deal or a real need for an upgrade. I've been with this GTX 280 for a little over 10 months and I'm just waiting until DX11 cards come out. So I'd usually said 12 - 18 months.

 

[TheSandman]

mine tends to be 1 to 1.5 years as well, when I can afford it, though I find it interesting that cards from late 2006 almost 3 years old are still viable and are still plenty able to play any games today, 8800GTS640 and 8800GTX come to mind

every month it seems like. Went from 4870 512 --> 4870 512 crossfire --> 4870 512 trifire --> 4890 crossfire --> 4890 trifire in about 8 months.

i stopped upgrading. it wastes to much money, and they lose their value to fast.

 

[texaspaid]

Yeah that's the last card I actually had was an 8800GTX. It was still a good card but the jump to GTX 280 is one I don't regret. As long as the card I'm looking to upgrade to has a significant enough power increase and the price is right then I'll consider.

Seems to be about every 9-12 months for me. But I do have a pc that I use at work with the Riva TN2...

 

[nckid4u]

I have jumped 4 times this year, but usually can go for 9-12 months

 

[Mygaffer]

I tend to do upgrades of small stuff, like optical drives, ram, hard drives, when I can, and only do big system upgrades, like new cpu/mobo every couple of years.

every 8-12 months, with the exception of the 7800GTX I had, used it almost 2 yrs.

I try to upgrade to the high end models, like when i got my GTX260, still wasnt that high end but I couldnt afford a GTX280
