i got a cheap card about 9 months ago, so not THAT old, but also not the best; a GTX 650 Ti Overclocked 1GB.

yeah, my issue is actually the Mobo/RAM/CPU; it is an LGA775 slot with DDR2 RAM

Got the same card, works well for what I play with a bonus very modest 47MHz core overclock, will probably wait for 960 or 1060 to upgrade

I got a 3gb GTX 870M with on board Intel HD Graphics 4600
These coming with my almost 2 week old MSI GT70 Dominator

I need a processor upgrade too haha im using a Pentium G630 Dual core. Better than the core 2 duo but falling behind ever so much on game requirements today

nice :) im wanting a 600 series card so bad. i know they are made well and also have kick for their money if you go higher or around the 660 or above models

i really had to look which card i have. it's a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460

Pre built system. Besides, I don't care about running stuff maxed out. I play games for fun, they don't need to be all shiny.

congrats :) waiting to be able to build my own
with what i want so it fits my needs for use

Im rocking 2 GTX 670's. One is an MSI TwinFrozr I bought new 1.4? years ago. The other is a EVGA FTW card I bought about 6 months ago for 115. Good enough for 1080p, figure I can stand to wait for the NEXT gen of gpu's to hit the market and pick up a sweet 1440p+ monitor too.
Dont get a 660, for the same price, you can pick up a 760 or better mate.

Not terribly so; an EVGA Superclocked GTX 770 w/ ACX Cooling 2 GB GDDR5 with my new PC 1 year ago.

I just switched from 770 to 970 :/ I guess I updated too quickly but I'm planning to stick to this one for another year or two so it should be okay.

Hmm ya I'm trying to sell it on craigslist but not much hope right now :P in fact I kind of upgraded my whole system because I was getting ready for hardcore overclocking + sli XD

I have a ATI RADEON HD 4850 2GB.
Really outdated but can run much of the games. But the most recent big ones (Far Cry 4, The Crew, AC: Unity, etc) can't be run by my card.
Time to upgrade!
When I got the money I will go for a Radeon R9 270 with 2 or 4 GB.

I know the feeling haha. Ive been using a pc that i bought from an old person that ive been putting parts into when ever i can

I have sigh intel graphics 4000, my laptop would be BEAST if I had a better video card. I have a 3.5 GHZ intel core i5 processor; but my dumb videocard bottlenecks my CPU like crazy. Unfortunately I can't add a new videocard, and i'm stuck with this laptop for around another 8 years.
It's not an old videocard, it just simply sucks (it's not made for gaming). I tried to overclock my videocard (I have a cooling pad); but overclocking the videocard is only for desktops, it's locked for laptops. Intel locked up their videocard like crazy, so it's pretty much impossible to overclock.

I know the feeling I had gotten a Radeon 5xxx series on my laptop but the one ghz processor is killing it from being used for anything but apps. seems like they take one thing from one computer and make it better somewhere else

Was stuck with my Intel HD3000 (and still is), but found out recently about eGPU (http://www.bplus.com.tw/eGPU.html) it's ordered and coming. Definitely going to try it out.

I'm in the same situation but I've been thinking on buying something like:

A couple years ago I was running a 7300LE, worst thing EVER. Not that I cared about it, I hardly had time to play anything (4 kids, lots of work to pay the bills :) ). Then I bought a 210 like yours, had a good time because it could run Skyrim and that was all I wanted. Now I'm running a AMD Phenom II X4 with a EVGA GTX 460 SSC and a backup pc (Phenom X3 w/ Gigabyte GTX 550TI) for the wife.
Both my actual VGA are quite dated, but I play mostly indie stuff, so I'm not that desperate to get a high end VGA. The 460 I got from a friend that was moving on to a 780, but he said the first time the 460 couldn't handle a game was with Dead Rising 3, so I guess I'm pretty confortable with it. Also, I'm using a Seventeam 450W as PSU, and any VGA higher than that would require a new PSU as well (you should worry about it too, no point getting a new VGA if your PSU can't handle it)
Comment has been collapsed.
mine is also a 450 w psu. i did some research as to what cards i could get without needing a psu upgrade again

I think right now the r9 290 are going at the price between a 760 and 770 (sometimes 760). It performs better than the 770 but it has more problems physically so ya :P still a good card though

I'm still using my 6year old PowerColor Radeon HD5550 1gb 128bit... I'm overclocking it to meet today's demands on games. I'm surprised though I can play multi-player in BF4 on lowest settings @720p with over 50fps with 64 people on the server. and I've played Watch_dogs on 15-30fps with this card... Planning to upgrade to GTX750 soon... It's a cheap but powerful card for 720p gaming IMO...

If your going with a 750, best off getting a 750 Ti

Quadro FX4800, I use my dad's workstation to game xD but the card needs upgrading either way

Just got a gtx 760 this black friday. The Asus Direct CU II. That all I could afford to buy, but still, not bad at all. I am already thinking of my next gtx 970 that I'm saving up for.

thats like the sister card to my nvidia gt 120 :) maybe a 9800 gt but around there

I got that card when they came out in 2008, it was a great buy, no problems playing most games of the last generation (2006-2013)
Comment has been collapsed.
Most of the games published up to 2013 run smoothly at least on minimum setting. Unfortunately, more and more games require higher DX and/or pixel shader etc. Thinking about upgrade, but when speaking about pure performance, it has beaten most of the newer nVidia cards one year ago (except the highest and also most expensive series). Almost time to check again and finally buy new PC :)

Mine is pretty bad haha, i actually have 2 that i switch between depending on what game i want to play so i dont put too much load on one or the other. Both are very old and ive had each for about 5 years now so they definitely have held their value :)
My first one is a Nvidia Gt 120 1GB video ram. (though it is old this is a great card even for today's low level to medium range gaming)
after 5 years on this card the fan on it is starting to make loud noises and gets slow when i game. I use it at small increments of time and it does fine :)
The second is a ATI Radeon HD 3650 256mb video ram. Im surprised that this thing can play some of the games it does like just cause 2 and things of that sort.
I know the cards i have are very very out dated but how about you guys out there? is yours possibly worse, equal or better than mine haha.
post below :) id love to see what games you are playing on that card as well
EDIT: when i get the money i am gonna go with the Nvidia GTX 660. Not as new as most today but enough for me to do what i want
