only 3, cnt remember the names but my current one is ati 2900xt

Ouch, dude, you should upgrade asap.

I went a good almost two years without my PC working at all (was a Mac user and had just gotten the 360) but I know I have had...

ATi 9 something

Nvidia 5 something

Nvidia 5900 Ultra

Nvidia GTX 285

Honestly that 5900 ultra is what got me though most of my gaming and the one I used the longest. That really lasted me a decent amount of time, in fact my brother in law still has it.

My first ever card was XFX 6600 GT. Bought in november 2005 but died early due to overclocking.

Then i bought XFX 8600 GT in august 2007. It recently died due to age maybe. Most of the capacitors on the card blew up.

Now I am using XFX 9600GT. Its working fine so far. :p

You could easily RMA all of those because XFX has lifetime warranty.

You could easily RMA all of those because XFX has lifetime warranty.

But you have to have registered them within 30 days and they can't fail due to physical damage - e.g. if you blow a cap or burn the chip out whilst overclocking.

The word 'Lifetime warranty' has obviously not been understood here. It's the lifetime of the product on the market.

So once it's discontinued, so is your warranty. Though in some cases they may attach a few years warranty after the product leaves the market, but it'll be in the documentation.

ATI AIW 9700 PRO - died, replaced with below

ATI Radeon 9800 PRO - gave computer away

Sapphire ATI radeon x1900 - died, replaced with below

nvidia geforce 6800 - replaced with below

nvidia geforce 9800GTX+OC - in use today

Only 3

An ancient (even at the time I got it) 64MB Radeon 7500

A 256MB Geforce 6600 to replace a crap oem Radeon X300

And finally the one I'm using now a 512MB Sapphire Radeon HD 4850

    • So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.

    • And he paid Joe Rogan $30M for podcasts. Terrible company.
    • I sure hope the AI does not give out wrong info during education
