I still use old onboard and video cards (MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
(N750TI-2GD5/OC; 2 GB of VRAM)) as my highest end GPU). :P

While compiling the stats from the Steam Hardware Survey for another
post, I noticed there was a line for "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 TI",
which is possibly one of the oldest Nvidia cards on the list.* "Good
for you," I said to myself, "Still rockin' on with such an old card,"
and wondered who they were.

Apparently it's you!

But don't worry, you're not really alone. 0.25% of Steam users
surveyed still use that card. If we go by the current Steam MAU, that
means you're in a crowd of over 30,000 people** ;-)

Besides, one of my machines still has a 770GTX and --while it's not
one of my more actively used computers-- I still have great
appreciation for it. Maybe it can't run the latest-n-greatest games,
but it's still capable enough that I've no consideration on scrapping
it anytime soon. Whenever I do fire it up*** I almost inevitably end
up playing games on it. The 7xx line of Nvidia cards were workhorses.







* but not THE oldest. I saw an NVIDIA GeForce 730 on the list too.
** Maybe all ants in the nest are stuck on GF750s?
*** mostly it serves as a disk-wiping PC, because it has hot-swappable
SATA bays, which makes it easy for me to delete hard-drives
