Most durable cards you had?

[Guest]

I have owned a GTX 460 and a HD7870 before.

 

Both are awesome, are still working in other systems, the GTX has switched hands many times and still works in the pc of a friend now.

 

The HD 7870 I had for 2 years and then I sold it for 50 euros.

 

Still working perfectly probably. don't know the buyer personally.

 

When a GPU just keeps on living, there is nothing like it. (had to RMA my 290 once, got a new one, that sucked)

My M5A78L-M/USB3's integrated AMD HD 3000 graphics.

 

The PCI slots are dead in that motherboard, but the HD 3000 still works fine.

But that's Integrated graphics  :lol:

My Gigabyte HD4550 OC still works. It's been retired after 6 years. Overclocked like a champ.

Ah the memories.....

Still works btw.

My old TNT2 video card, and my 7950, kinda. It has seen 105C+ quite a few times due to it being a pile of shit.

Had a MSi Twin Frozr 6870 that my older brother purchased for a Crossfire four years ago. Only at the end of 2014 did it start to act up and show sings of imminent death. The card looked really good and was really heavy.

My ASUS Radeon HD 4890, I bought it 2009 and it is still going strong, I have not used it in about a year though, It is just sitting in a glass cabinet.

It feels like a brick.

i had Sapphire Radeon 9600SE 128MB 64-Bit DDR AGP and after that one the 780, so i can confirm, that the first one was a beast, ran for 10+ years and still does

played midtown madness 2 on CRT w/o any lags or stuttering

My GTX 670 SLI was very loyal to me

But that's Integrated graphics  :lol:

But still, if half the controllers on the board are dead and the iGPU still works...

750ti, dropped it from waist height on accident, no issues.

[Senzelian]

ATi Radeon X1600 512MB

 

I got it in 2006. It still works after 9 years. And now it just sits here on my shelf.

9800gt the only gpu that is in my personal hall of fame.

My GT 640 has put up with next to no dusting and far too much demanding gaming on it and seems to be unaffected by it...

It's like with people who smoke too much every day for years and still live to be 90-100

My Galaxy 670 (GC) was a beast. I loved it and it never gave me any trouble.

Well, that's just superior genetics.

I would say luck but okay

My brother uses a 8600GT 256MB silent edition from asus. The temps reached 110 degrees so I replaced the thermal paste, but it somehow still lives. It was mostly used in a school for powering a digital chalkboard so nothing demanding, but still. It idles at 65 degrees for crying out loud.

[D2ultima]

My old 280M is a trooper. Still works. Sat overvolted and overclocked 24/7 for three years, then stock clocks (overvolted at vBIOS level) for another year. Have seen it 105c and higher multiple times due to dried out thermal paste and me owning bad screwdriver sets that couldn't unscrew the thing to replace thermal paste.

[MrTiC]

MSI 8800GTX 768 got it on launch (2006) reaplied thermal paste a year or 3 aggo still runs like a champ!

i have a evga 8400gs 512mb that still works

Nvidia TNT 16mb card. It has been used as a template for builds, been through an upgrade to a dead system, moved from place to place unprotected including lying in a steel drawer with stuff piled on being pushed around, and is now back in it's system running well.
