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'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
