Which graphics chipsets do you currently use?

Ailos · 2012-05-15, 10:07 AM

What with some new hardware recently coming out and folks debating whether and to what should they upgrade, I got kind of curious: what kind of graphics hardware do PSUers currently use?

Please note: this is not a preference poll, or which one is better poll. I'm not asking you which one is better. I am just curious what you currently have equipped.

My current gaming rig runs on an HD 5770, and the whole thing is right about at the timeframe when I am starting to look what I'm going to upgrade it to... but I kind of want to get my hands on the PS2 beta, to see how the hardware performs. If it's decent, I'd probably wait another 6-9 months for prices to stabilize a bit and just build a whole new rig rather than just upgrade the graphics.

Just ordered my GTX 670 that's going into my first rig.

Still using my MSI N580GTX Lightning Xtreme Edition and it works great. Never play anything below Ultra.

nVidia is the most popular brand. I except that won't change in the near future given ATI's current generation woes.

I bet Intel is going to continue to pick up market share, now that a marginally competent GPU is built right in.

GTX 560 Ti in my main rig and a ATI HD 4770 in my secondary.

Got a HD5770 myself. Thinking about upgrading for Planetside 2 for performance reasons but also cos I think this one will melt soon.. running 100 celsius when playing.

Overclocked it much or something else going on there?

Not overclocked. It didnt run that hot before, so I cleaned the whole case and stuff, but it didnt do anything. I guess the thermal paste could use reapplying but I dont wanna do it cos I'm really noob with computers

Man up, if you can clean out the case without screwing anything up, you can reapply some thermal paste, too. And then you could probably overclock that thing to get the last few bits of juice out of it (although I haven't actually had to do that for any game I regularly play yet).

Had two EVGA 7900GTXs in SLI, a Galaxy GeForce 250 GTS, and just ordered a EVGA GeForce 670 GTX with an optional upgrade to 680 GTX.
