How often do you upgrade your vid card for games?

I'm putting this in the games section essentially to deter being skewed by the people like me who do not game on their PC and by the people who just fold and bench.

So, how often do you upgrade your video card for gaming? How much do you normally spend?

If a mod or senior would please create the poll:

How often do you upgrade your video card for games:

1. Every year
2. Every 2-3 years
3. Every 3-5 years

How much do you normally spend to upgrade your video card for games:

1. Less than $200
2. Between $200-$300
3. Between $300-$400
4. Over $400

every year, spend between 200-300 for me

as often as possible, but am presently overdue

I never upgrade less than 2 years after I've bought a new video card, and I never wait more than 4 to upgrade.

I generally upgrade once every two to three years, and $200 is my cap for a single card.

Poll is up!
