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** ;-)

Woohoo! What about GeForce 8800 GT (512 MB of VRAM)? :P

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?

...

Haha. My friend used to run Bitcoin and then stopped so he had all these
750 video cards. So, he gave others and me his used cards. :D
