I've got an MSI R9 270X 2GB Gaming edition.
 
Dual Asus 290x DCUOC.
This runs so well for 4K four of my sons friends have had me build them the same system.
 
Sapphire R9 280X Dual X in xfire ;)
 
New addition to the family. EVGA GTX 670 FTW

Asus GTX760 in the Windows rig
Sapphire Radeon HD3850 in the linux rig
Sapphire Radeon HD6850 as backup card, in the closet
GT425M in my notebook
 
Gigabyte AMD 7950 @ 1100/1500... I use 1680x1050 resolution and no AA so everything i play runs very smooth. im not even planing on upgrading for 1-2 years

I'd upgrade monitors before anything else.
 
Using multiple at the moment and would love an EVGA GTX 980 Classified, but what with Christmas coming up I've other 'priorities'.
 
I just bought a 4K screen, but not sure how it will affect performance until I get it. I use 1920 X 1080 now, and the new screen is 3840 X 2160. I plan to use it with a pair of R9-280X GPUs in Crossfire, and I have another that I can add if I have to.
 
RealNeil, I assume you know you will be using Display Port 1.2 and have to set it up in the monitor input. I missed that step with my 28" Asus 4K and was stuck at 30 Hz for a couple of days. The monitor defaulted to Display Port 1.1 and did not change automatically to the higher version even though the cards and cables could do Display Port 1.2.
 
Main gaming rig MSi P.E. GTX680 2gb, laptop GTX670 3gb.
 
Using two Cyberdine system nueronet graphic processors with dual flux capacitors... yes they are from the future

Its a good thing you got dual compensators because the idle to load power draw is huge.

No, I didn't know that, and I thank you for mentioning it. This is my first 4K screen.

1.21 Gigawatts I heard... never mind, wrong reference, he's using flux "compositors" not capacitors :p

I'm running a lot of video cards at the moment, they are listed in my sig ;)

I have a BenQ XL 2411T 144Hz with Lighboost... :) i dont need another monitor. i mostly play FPS games and this is a perfect setup for me at the moment :)
 
I'm using a reference Zotac 780TI. Not tempted to upgrade the video card yet coz it's more than enough for 1080p. I'll upgrade to a higher res monitor while waiting for 20nm or 16nm GPUs.
 
My gaming rig has an Asus Strix gtx970. My son is using an XFX 5850.
 
9600GT 512MB GDDR3
and GT750M 2GB GDDR5
 
I'm currently running 2 x MSI GTX 770 Lightnings SLI under water.

I've bought 2 GTX 980's, 2 water blocks from EKWB and 2 backplates.

Gonna put them in soon, too lazy atm lol

Also in my HTPC i have a GTX 760 Hawk

GTX 560, GTX 560ti x 2 (Standard and SuperOC) as spares.

Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 OC Windforce 3X with slight manual overclocks. The best card which I've had for now, before this I had Sapphire HD5870 Vapor-X Crossfire and Gigabyte GTX470 SOC.
 
R9 290 (decided to keep her and not go 970/980)
R7 240 for my retro workstation until i can find 2*9800GT or a 2nd 8800 Ultra
and 8800 Ultra (yup i know ... oldie ... but still goodie, it's a Asus R.O.G model i keep for my E8400 build)
and a spare Powercolor Go!Green HD5450 just in case

edit: i forgot that i have a XperVision Radeon X1950GT super AGP for my Athlon XP retrobuild :D



argh
i have 2 x 8800 ultra sitting around at my work lol
 
Currently use 2 Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming cards plus some minor overclocking just for fun. I'm really impressed with how little heat they generate thanks to the efficient Maxwell architecture. This also means a more quiet running PC as well which is great because I don't usually use headphones.

In my laptop I have a GTX 860M (Maxwell) 4GB and I have also overclocked that (I forget by how much).
 
AMD Radeon R9-270X (msi gaming OC 2gb) for desktop

Intel HD graphics :cry: on laptop.....core i5 540M, cpu not bad but that integrated graphics is less than useless.
