How many graphic cards have you bought in your life?


Recommended Posts

My first ever card was XFX 6600 GT. Bought in november 2005 but died early due to overclocking.

Then i bought XFX 8600 GT in august 2007. It recently died due to age maybe. Most of the capacitors on the card blew up.

Now I am using XFX 9600GT. Its working fine so far. :p

First card was a big mistake: FX 5700. Next was an 8800gts 320mb spent almost $300 new, sold it for most of the money I needed to buy a 9800gt. It wasn't much of an upgrade but it didn't cost me anything. The way things are looking right now I will replace my current video card with an ati card when the time is right.

1. Nvidia MX 440

2. Nvidia FX 5700GT

3. Nvidia FX 5200

4. Nvidia FX 6600 LE

5. Nvidia FX 8800GT

6. Nvidia GTX260 (Bought used off Ebay and ended up not working :@)

7. Nvidia GTX260 (Bought one again NEW off Amazon and it worked :D)

Not my first but in order of the earliest i can remember:

Orchid Righteous 3D (Voodoo 1) with a Matrox Millennium G200 8Mb 2D

Creative Voodoo 2 16Mb then i bought another a few months later for SLI

Matrox G400

Nvidia Riva TNT

Nvidia Riva TNT 2

Nvidia GeForce 1

Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS

Nvidia GeForce 2 Ultra

Nvidia GeForce 4 MX400

Nvidia GeForce 5200

Nvidia GeForce 5950 Ultra

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

Nvidia GeForce 6800 Pro

ATI Radeon x1900

Nvidia GeForce 7900 Ultra

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 320Mb

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512Mb

ATI Radeon 4850

Nvidia GeForce GTX260

ATI Radeon 4850 (sold 260 as i needed some quick cash)

4850 is what im using today and im probably missing some cards out but tahts the general gist of it and yes i am a geek.

Oak Technology OTI057/067 with 0.5 MB VRAM - part of a pre-built 486 DX 33-based PC bought in June 1993. The older ones of us will know that even then the card was low-end.

Matrox Mystique 220 - bought in 1997. Together with the Pentium 200 at the time it really helped speeding up Grand Prix 2.

Geforce 2 GTS - bought in May 2001. Grand Prix 3 and later Grand Prix 4 benefited from it.

Geforce 6200 with 256 MB VRAM - bought in 2006, mainly to get Aero to work.

Mobility Radeon 2400XT - bought in January 2008 as part of the iMac 20" I still have.

As you can tell I'm not that big of a gamer...

Not too many, I try and ride them out as long as possible as they're always the most expensive piece of kit.

Probably Geforce 2, Geforce 4MX, ATi 9600, Geforce 7600GT, Geforce GTS260.

Look at the jump in differences lol. I plan on ditching the 260 to get a next generation Nvidia/ATI once the prices stabilize

S3 Virge 2MB

ATI Rage 4MB

Intel Xtreme Graphics 855 (Laptop)

ATI Xpress 200M (Laptop)

Nvidia GTX 260

I think I can remember them all:

Creative labs Voodoo Banshee 16mb

Hercules Geforce 2MX 32Mb

MSI Geforce 4Ti 4200 128Mb

XFX Geforce 6800GT 256Mb

XFX Geforce 7800GT Extreme Edition 256Mb

XFX Geforce 260GTX Black Edtion 896Mb

    • It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
