I'm almost sadly proud that I still game with something so old, recalled for burning out, and generally so substandard by being outdated:
Nvidia GeForce 8600m GT
I had to use a blow torch on it to "redneck fix" its main defect a couple times. Also replaced the factory thermal compound and overclock it a bit.

About a year ago, I finally upgraded from my venerable LGA775 system with a GTX 460. It ran like a champ at 1920x1080, but kind of choked on games like Skyrim on higher settings with a lot of mods. Since losing one's job was apparently all the fashion in the preceding years, I chose food and shelter over upgrading my gaming rig.
My current system is significantly more up to date, running a water-cooled Intel 4770K @ 4.2GHz, DDR3 RAM and a super-clocked EVGA GTX 770. I've got no issues running many games across my new triple (5760x1080) surround monitor setup. If I can get 3-5 years out of this rig, I'll be very happy.
One of these days I'll build out another "enthusiast-class" system (ex. a socket 2011v3+12-core w/3-way SLI) but for now, I'm happy with what I'm seeing with my current rig.

Currently a Radeon HD 4870x2. A Radeon 9800 Pro prior to that. Yeah, I fell out of modern day gaming for about a decade there sticking with the classics.
I bought a Radeon r9 290x Lightning a month ago, but the first was DOA and the second had faulty memory, so I'm awaiting the third card. The joys.

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
