What is your graphics card history?


Recommended Posts

Here is my long list...

Built-in Tandy Graphics in a 286 Tandy 1000TL

ATI VGA Wonder XL (ISA) that could do 16 bits colors! (in a 386)

Trident 32bit VLB card (in a Cyrix 486)

S3 Trio32 PCI (in a i486)

S3 Trio64 PCI

ATI Rage

Matrox Millenium 2

Matrox Millennium G450

nVidia GeForce 256

ATI Radeon 8500

nVidia GeForce 6600GT

nVidia GeForce 7900GT

I may forget some of them. I know I had a 3Dfx Monster 3D, I also had a Matrox M3D. I worked in a computer store for a while so I could see and upgrade my PC alot....

The best time was with the extra long VESA Local Bus card, one for Video and the other for ports and floppy/IDE. Those where the days.

Ah I hear that nVidia 9800 would come in Q4 2007.

(Just google on "nvidia geforce 9 series.")

I wonder what'd happen if nVidia reaches the 10 series? That'd be interesting once it supports DirectX 10 or 11 or 12.

yeah i bought it when the 9800pro came out and it was still kicking the 5 series' butt then. not to mention the "directx 9" you got with a fx5 series.
