GTX 970 is the best card imo. It had a really great to performance ratio.

Did you keep all your old GPUs as well or just the boxes? I got rid of both old GPUs and their boxes.
My GPU evolution is GTX 750ti->GTX 970->GTX 1070->GTX 1080->GTX 3080.

Everyone talks about the 1080 – and rightfully so, it was a fantastic card! – but the 970 also deserves some love. It was such great value and was an absolute workhorse back in the day. I loved my rig that had that thing.
Missed the time when Rog Strix models were affordable

We took different paths but ended up at the same destination.
Mx420 -> 750ti -> 1660s -> 3060 -> 4070s

Nice! I got a GTX 1080 in 2018 and a RTX 3080 in 2022. Will likely go for the 5080 fall 2025 or spring 2026. My girlfriend uses my 1080 build, it’s a great card and still runs almost every game well @ 1080p.

darn, you had a 50 card class, 60 class card, 70 class card, 80 class card and then you went to 70 class again

I went from a VESA bus Cirrus Logic to a 3DFX Voodoo first gen to a Sapphire AGP 512mb to a 9500GT to a GTX 950 to a 1660TI to a 6700xt now

This is your GPU devolution from 2024-2011, they should be in ascending order from left to right.
I will die on this hill.
edit: also, nice collection

My upgrades went like: GeForce 7200 GS -> GeForce 720M -> Radeon 7900xtx.

285 (don’t ask) – 1060 – 2070S – 3070 – 6800XT for me. Waiting until probably next gen or until this thing can’t do 1440p60.

EVGA GTX 760 represent 💪 I played so much DOOM 2016 and Crysis 3 on that thing

More proof that the “why do you keep the boxes?” people are wrong and stupid and should be jealous of this pic.

Did something happened in 2016? The gap worries me, i hope you werent struggling /s

Neat! I wish I would’ve kept my GTX 750 box

550ti was best bang for buck I remember when it was 100 bucks new an ran gta4 maxed at high frame rate

4070 evolved into a 550 ti

As far as new GPUs go, I went from dual Voodoo2 cards, to two 8800GT cards, to a 1080ti. I might build a new machine once the 5 series cards come out. I did have some used cards in between, a 550ti, a 750ti, and a bunch of quadro cards of varying capability.

Mines is just GTX 560 Ti to an RX 570 8GB 😂 only two I have had in that time frame
1030 still doing great. The only catch is, I watch others play on YouTube.

Love the downgrade from xx50, xx60, xx70, xx80, and back to xx70

intel graphics -> gtx970 -> rtx 3070ti

Mines less impressive I’d say. GTX 460, Radeon HD 6950, RX 560, RTX 2060, and just ordered last week, a 4070 ti super

1080 is the MVP

I originally went from left to right like a normal person and was thinking “what the hell kind of progression do you call this?”

I just have the boxes for the VII and 3070ti, though.

I think I’m skipping the 40 series this go around. Got a really good deal on a 3090 recently and it handles everything I ever wanted and then some still.

Least obvious Nvidia enjoyer.
Mine was 650ti -> r7 260x -> gtx 970 -> gtx 1070 -> 4060ti 16gb
