Because it's an interesting piece of technology. I have a GTX 1080, so I don't give a fuck about how it runs the latest bloated AAA shitfest. I want one to play with.

It'll probably have a BIOS with extremely fine-tuned power management, along with aggressive binning of chips, just like the Nano. That only generally had to throttle by 100MHz or so at most, despite the Fury X also being a housefire. Power consumption tends to drop off massively with AMD cards once you shave off a little clock speed and voltage.

The two cards I've had the most fun with was my X1900XTX I had from early 2006 to late 2008, running 800/980mhz on water (stock is 650/775).
And then my hd6950 flashed to 6970 with a custom 1.3v bios running 1050/1500mhz on water. Got that card very cheap on black friday around when they launched. pic is 6950.

No, I don't think so.. The 8800 cards where pretty amazing. I don't think the 8800 320mb was leaps and bounds better than the oc'd x1900, but definitely was better.

A friend of mine in 2007 upgraded his socket 478 pentium 4, 1gb ram and ati radeon 9800pro to a Core 2 duo e6850, 4gb ram and a 8800 GTS 640.. And it blew our minds.

Wanted a 8800 card so bad, but was poor as fuck back then. Didn't get to upgrade the x1900 until 2008 when another friend gave me his hd3850 256mb, as he got a 3870 1gb on sale I think.

I was kind of dissapointed in the 3850, wasn't THAT much better.
Had it up until late 2009 when I finally got a job again and upgraded to a 4870 1gb and phenom2 x4 965.

My system up until 2009 was socket 939 Opteron 175 2.2ghz oc'd to 3.2ghz, DFI lanparty NF4-d, 4gb Ocz ram, with the x1900xtx.

Held out pretty good, wasn't until 2009 actually it began to struggle with games I wanted to play.

Pic related. Only with 2gb ram there tho.

Well i'm not buying a fullcover waterblock for every new graphics card I get, as they cost 1/2 or 1/3 of what the cards cost. So I cut the vrm cooling off the stock cooler, thermal glued sinks on the memory and some other vrm's and watercooled the gpu with my old gpu block.

Put a fan under to keep the sinks cool.

My 7970 lasted 4 years and I never had a problem running anything on it. Not once.

But 3 of those 4 years I had to deal with some pretty heavy artifacting on a few games. Mostly GTA 5 and Saint's Row 4.

I replaced it with pic related

I don't even like fallout 4 that much, but I love fallout themed stuff. I have the FO4 Steelseries Rival 300 mouse and I'm going to buy some blue and yellow caps for my keyboard.

I'm not committed enough to get a fallout mousepad, though. The mouse itself is hard enough to keep clean, a blue and yellow mousepad would be black and brown within a couple weeks.

4850x2.

Had that card for 6-7 years until I finally built a new PC. Getting that card after an 8600GTS and being able to run Crysis at all max was fantastic.

Then I quit using Windows and had a lot of fun getting legacy ATI drivers to work in Arch...

Using a 980 GTX now and have no complaints, but nothing will beat the jump to the 4850x2. Ridiculous card, but was pretty quiet with the shroud taken off.

>>61187431
I had the opposite experience: Replaced my 290X with 1070 after it broke. I pretty much hate it, had tons of issues, software is complete horseshit and heats up worse than my old 290x. Great performance when it works though.

My favourite card was probably my old ATI Radeon X1950XTX, bought it used, lasted for 3 years and sold it for a higher price than before. It's still alive today.

Wow! Taking this table into account>>61192512, you'd need a 53% performance boost to even match a 970. Add another 10% on for a 980 and you're saying that you got an extra 63%+ performance out of your card by overclocking. Fucking hell man, that's amazing! A world record! Why didn't you go running to the press with this amazing, one-of-a-kind 780 Ti that overclocked better than any other graphics card in recorded history?
