What GPU do you have in your PC?

i5-4690
GTX 960 2gb strix

i've taken a bit of a performance hit since horizons so pop the settings down to medium if i plan on any surface work.
 
Horizons seems to work quite well on an overclocked AMD Athlon 860k paired with a 1GB GTX 750 (note NOT Ti) It's running at least as fast as I'm used to on the Xbox One (faster in most places) though some of the planetary textures do look ugly, most likely due to the lack of memory on the card. I guess I know where next months pay check is going...

Really.... I've got the 960 Strix OC 2Gb running Ultra for 2x1080p. It drops from 60FPS to around 40 when things get station or planet-ed, but I can only tell by watching the FPS counter. Still perfectly playable for me. Admittedly the plan is to SLI another card...
 
I've recently upgraded my old Radeon HD 6770 to a Gigabyte GTX 960 4GB model. I'm over 2,000 light years from civilization so I won't be able to test everything for a while, but on full ultra settings I'm getting constant 60+ FPS in space/supercruise (closer to 90+ but my monitor is only 60hz :p), and around 45ish on planet surfaces with the GPU slider maxed out. Looks absolutely beautiful playing on ultra settings. Really happy with my new card, it's eating up everything I can throw at it, even with my not-so-great processor (Athlon II x4 645).
 
Upgraded , thanks to some advice on these forums , to a HSI R9 380X 4Gb card , on ultra , getting min of 30 fps. Still playing with the settings , have not touched overclocking yet as it is running Horizons at a card temp` of 22 deg C in my living room !.
 
I now have the Asus Strix GTX 960 installed in my budget rig. My Athlon 860k based system with that card & 16Gb of DDR3 is capable of 60fps with most settings turned up between high and ultra. Perfect for a budget rig.
 
GTX 970 with 4GB RAM - I actually played this for the first time through my 84" TV in the living room tonight, and I have to say was quite impressed a 970 could run ED in 4K on that screen size. Most settings on high / ultra. Looks phenomenal!
 
GTX 760 on my main which is getting fixed.
Surprisingly, the game will run with a GT 530 on my old system, but with a crappy resolution and everything at low.
Who knew.

Not surprised the 970 is so popular, it's a great card for Elite on a single 1080p monitor, not to mention not being too expensive with the next gen around the corner.
 
a GTX 980 refference card. They blow the hot air out of the case, unlike a lot of the coolers from the other companies. Which is why I like them. They also look nice but that's not very important to me. It's more than enough for most games when running 1080p. Though I am looking at 1440p monitors. Unfortunately these refference cards with aluminium casings have become very rare so if I ever want to run them in SLI it'll be a pain finding a second one.
