I thought it might be fun for us to post our CPU and GPU ownership history. Seems like I've gone through a few PCs in my life, and I'm overdue for another one soon. Anyhow, I'll start: 1. (TRS-80 Color Computer)Motorola 6809E + MC6847DG 2. Intel 80286 + EGA card (can't remember the brand) 3. Intel 80486 + Trident 8900 4. AMD 5x86 (486) + Trident 9440 5. Intel Pentium / Trident 9440 6. AMD K6-2 + Matrox Mystique + 3dfx Voodoo 7. Intel Celeron 300a / Matrox Mystique 220 / Voodoo 2 8. Intel PIII-S / Voodoo 3 / GeForce 2 MX 9. AMD Athlon XP / GeForce FX5200 / 6600GT 10. AMD Opteron 64 / GeForce 7600GT / 9600GT / 9800 GTX 11. Intel Core2 Q6600 / GeForce GTX 260 / 460 / 560 The list isn't totally complete, but these were the main bits. Other stuff wasn't used for long or I've forgotten about. I don't remember most of the clock speeds, and everything from the Pentium onward got overclocked anyhow, so it's even more confusing after that.
1. 1977 - TRS-80 model I, Z80 1.77mhz CPU, 4kb RAM 2. 1993 - Coleco ADAM, Z80 3.58mhz CPU, 128kb RAM, 16kb VRAM 3. 1999 - Nutrend desktop, Pentium III 450mhz CPU, ATI Rage Fury 32mb GPU, 256mb RAM 4. 2005 - EMachines desktop, AMD Athlon64 3500+ CPU @2.2ghz, ATI Radeon X700 Pro 128mb GPU, 2gb RAM 5. 2006 - HP dv5215us laptop, AMD Turion64 ML-34 CPU @1.8ghz, ATI Radeon Xpress 200M GPU with 128mb dedicated VRAM, 2gb RAM 6. 2011 - HP dv6-6140us laptop, AMD A8-3500M APU @1.5/2.4ghz, Radeon HD6620G GPU with 512mb shared VRAM, 8gb RAM 7. 2014 - AVATAR FX6327X desktop, AMD FX-6300 CPU @3.5ghz, Sapphire AMD Radeon R9-270X Dual X w/OC GPU with 2gb DDR5 VRAM, 8gb RAM Nothing was ever overclocked.
Man I have gone through quite a few computers in my time that I forgot the GPUs but remember the CPUs. I'll post what I can remember with the CPU/GPU history thing. Pentium 4 3.0ghz geforce Fx 5700ultra/Geforce 6800 Intel Core2 duo E8400/core2 quad q6600 Geforce gts 250/ geforce gtx 560 ti Dell precision m4600 Intel core i7 2820QM Nvidia quadro 1000m
This is just from off the top of my head that i can remember right now. CPU List P3 866 MHz P4 2.8Ghz Core2duo T7300 E8400 E6660, Core2quad 2x Q6600 I7 860, I7 920, I5 3470, 2x I7 2600k, I7 2700k I3 2100 ,I5 2410m ,I7 4770HQ, GPU List HD 6850, HD 6870, HD 6950, HD 6450, 6770, HD 5770, HD 4550, HD 7950, HD 7850, GTX 570, GTX 560, GTX 760, GTX 780, 2x GTX 770, 8600m GT, GT 750m, GT 520m,
Who can remember things like that? I know my first one was a commodore c64 and the last one is in my signature. Must be at least 20 or so in between with most of the Amiga models and 486-dx100 or so after doom came out.. I think i had a vodoo 1 card and some amd's when they where a true competitor to intel.
Intel CPU list: 486: 50Mhz 486DX2 Pentium II: Deschutes 350Mhz Pentium III: Coppermine 700Mhz Pentium 4: 1.7Ghz Willamette, 2.0Ghz Northwood, 2.8Ghz Northwood, 3.0Ghz Prescott 1M, 3.2Ghz Prescott 2M, 3.6Ghz Cedar Mill Pentium D: 965 Extreme Edition Conroe: Pentium E2160, Celeron 430 Wolfdale: Core 2 Duo E8400, E8500, E8600 Yorkfield: Core 2 quad Q9650 Nehalem: i7 870, i5 750 Westmere: i3 550 Haswell: i5 4690k My favourites out of the whole lot has to be the 45nm based Wolfdale, Yorkfield and Nehalem, truly the golden age of overclocking. AMD CPU list: K5-100mhz Phenom II X4 955 3DFX GPU list: Voodoo 1 Nvidia GPU list: 6200 7600GT 7950GT 7950GX2 9600GT 9800GT GTS250 GTX460 GTX570 GTX760 GTX960 GTX970 ATI/AMD GPU list: Radeon 7500LE Radeon 9000 Pro Radeon HD 4870 Not exactly a smooth linear progression I know but I've always have more than 1 PC at a time.
Oh, my first pc was a apple 2 which I bought from a garage sell to mess with, then I was given this gigantic laptop with Windows 3.1 that I destroyed a week later. My first real pc though, was a hand me down amd k5 100mhz with 16mb of ram and I think 1Gb of hard drive space. I tried to upgrade that piece of junk with more ram but it kept frying them, I got a voodoo3 2000 pci for it but the CPU was a pain. This was until I convinced my father to buy me a new pc, he spent 2k$ on it which was a lot back then and got me a Compaq pressario with a Pentium 3 450mhz, 96mb ram and some awful agp videocard I got rid of for the voodoo3 2000. This, my friends, was when I learned about the real ins and outs of the pc world. 3 years later, I bought a amd athlon xp 2100+ with a GeForce ti 4200 which I upgraded with a 3100+ 2 years later. And the rest... Athlon 64 3400+/GeForce gs 7800 Phenom 9850/gtx 9800+ Phenom2 1090t/gtx 275 8350fx/GTX275 SLI/GTX680/GTX780 And now... 5960x/gtx980/gtx980ti Since 2009, cpu's haven't been going obsolete. I have friends who are running the 1090t even today paired with gtx960sli or gtx970 and it runs great. This will be even more true with Dx12, hence why I bought a 1000$ cpu, I figure that ill use this thing for a long long time.
DAYM, the list some of you guys have wow! Here is my Humble contribution to this thread lol. 1st system- Fx 6100 ( Bulldozer ) (Faildozer) With Radeon 6570 DDR3! -Later on I went as far as to add another 6570 in Crossfire cause at the time I thought I was getting incredible performance out of my Gpu/set-up ie gaming on sub 720p resolution lol.But that didnt stop me! 2) Changed my Gpu set-up as you guys will see soon....Went to a Sinlge Radeon 6870 /Faildozer.....Then crossfire Again 6870x2 not paying any attention to my monitor whatsoever! -720p..... 3) Fx 6100 / Radeon 6970 Crossfire, finally upgraded to a 1080p monitor, Hmmmm I wonder how my old Radeon 6570s will do on this set-up shall we find out? Puts old cards in lucky to get 8-10 fps on 1080p! Lmao! Man was I an idiot. 4) Fx 8350/ Got tired of the Radeon Cf bs- Got a single Gtx 580 EVGA.Still on 1080p. 5) A10 6800k Apu with a Geforce Gtx 660 ti- Loved this little system! 6) Fx 9370/ 660 ti- Rog crosshair formula z board 7) Fx 6300/ Gtx 770 Refrence design. 8) A10 7870k Apu-Intergrated graphics for now, kids machine. Fast little system 2400mhz ram 8 gb, All amd hardware ssd ect...... 9) Current system- i7 4790k- Got tired of Amd as you can tell, Gigabyte Z97x Gaming 7 board, Corsair H80 i cooler, Gtx 780 Sc- soon to be sli hopefully. I might have missed a few Amd builds as I did so many Apu builds as well but honestly I forgot what the hell I did even yesterday just thought it would be funny to share this with you guys.Thanks Nz.
01 - Celeron 433Mhz + Riva TNT2 32mb PCI 02 - AMD Duron 1.4Ghz (later upgraded to an Athlon XP 2600+) + GeForce FX 5200 128mb AGP 03- Athlon 64 3500+ + GeForce 8600GT 512mb 04- Phenom II X4 945 3.0Ghz + Radeon 5770 1GB (dead after 1 year and a half, replaced it with an HD 6850 1GB). and now the same CPU and Radeon R7 265 2GB.

intel i5-2500K + GTX-570 intel i5-3570K + GTX-670 intel i7-5820K + GTX-980Ti Started making my own build in 2011.
2003: Athlon XP 2.1 GHz, 512mb RAM, Radeon 9600 ----- A slightly upgraded Emachine base 2005: Athlon XP 2.1 GHz, 512mb RAM, Geforce 6800 GT ----- Got away from that god awful GPU 2006: Pentium D 3.4 GHz, 1GB RAM, Geforce 7950 GT ----- New build from scratch 2007: Pentium e2160, 1GB RAM, Geforce 7950 GT ----- CPU deprecated faster then I thought 2008: Core 2 Duo e7200, 2GB RAM, Geforce GTX 260 Core 216 ----- Totally new build, my own design 2009: Core i5 750, 4GB RAM, Geforce GTX 260 Core 216 ----- Was bottlenecked a little 2010: Core i5 750, 8GB RAM, Geforce GTX 470 ----- The 260 didn't die, just needed more speed 2014: Core i5 750, 16GB RAM, Geforce GTX 970 ----- The 470 died less then a year later after upgrade 2015: Core i7 4770K, 32GB RAM, Geforce GTX 970 ----- Current, next is GPU, CPU lasted me a long time the i5 is in my GF's PC
Might as well join. CPU's: Athlon XP 1800+ @ 1.6 GHz(oc'ed, fkyea) Intel C2Q Q9550 @ 3.6 GHz AMD FX-8320 @ 4.7 (current) GPU's: Nvidia Geforce 6200A - thank god its over HD 4850 - was amazing after the upgrade HD 4870 - didn't feel much of a difference after the 4850 HD 4890 - jfc like a whole new level. HD 6870 - i threw my 4890 away and i regretted that so much cuz the 6870 was slower.. HD 7870 - Finally i got the 6870 away it was like going from the 6200A to 4850. R9 270 - i somehow convinced my retailer 1 month after i got it to swap it for a.. R9 280x - This is where i did the weirdest thing in my life, This Tri-X brand new 280X was so wanted in bulgaria that i just traded it in for a galaxy S4... and THEN i traded the galaxy s4 for a r9 290x, the one i am with currently. I got way too lucky on that one.

Only about 5% I have either broke or they died. And this does not list laptops either. And I know I am forgetting things. Ive even had 2 Ageia "Phyx" cards. 2 ASUS ones, on pci and one PCI E Im in the middle of selling both of R9 290s for a Fury X or Fury. Even pondering a R9 380x 4GB Xfire.
Well, I see a lot of hardware from the same era, did you really upgrade from a i7 920 to 950? or did include all the pc of your business?
