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

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
    • “Could” … in the IS the healthcare is run by insurance companies that make indecent profits denying basic treatments to people that are paying money for nothing. Besides, where are all the Trump epigones who were stating that the tariffs were going to paid by foreign companies and not the US citizens? …
    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
    • It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...
