ati rage 128 (pffft!)
voodoo3 (still have it)
gf2 GTS
gf3 ti200
gf3
gf4 ti4600
radeon9700 pro

i learned my lesson of buying cards when they come out for full price. only to see them drop in price every week.

 

[OmnipotentSpleen]

Cirus Logic 512k
Savage 4 32mb
TNT2 Ultra 32mb
Geforce 256 SDR 32mb
Geforce2 MX 32mb
Geforce GTS 32mb
Geforce4 Ti4200 128mb

The ol' Geforce4 is holding up really well. Doom 3 plays fine on high 8x6, and HL2 at 10x7 Max with 2xAF.

EDIT: my first computer however was an Amstrad/Schnieder 464 with 64k that loaded from a tape deck, didnt have a graphics chip, it ran using Basic 1.0, most computers then used machine code to run games)

Voodoo 3 3000 16Mb AGP(1st PC, 500Mhz P3 Dell, blew up when lightening hit the house)

Hercules 64Mb AGP(cant remember the chip, possibly Radeon, mebbe 6500 if they ever did one?not Kyro2 tho. installed in 1st PC 5 days before lightening strike...doh)

Geforce 2 Ultra AGP (2nd PC, insurance replacement for 1st, 3 years on so closest Dell did, P3 1GHz & the Ultra, not a bad free upgrade if you ask me..lol)

Creative Geforce 4200Ti 64Mb (upgrade for 2nd PC, that combined with added memory & drives blew the power supply and wasted the mobo)

Radeon 9800XT 256Mb (3rd PC, Dell Dimension 8300, 1 year ago, happily running still but sold to my mum who paid me enough so i could add a little and upgrade tooooo....)

Geforce 6800 GTO (4th PC, Dell Dimension 8400, managed to get the NV40 based GTO, so its fully unlocked to 16/6 and running at 375/1000 constantly, have to get more cooling to up it tho, siezes up at around 420/1100 and is far too hot to run safely on a game over 375/1000)

Next stop either X800XT or 6800 Ultra (proper) if the GTO doesnt run HL2 well enough, or if it does then i'll hold out till next year for the 512Mb cards

[ppravier]

In chronological order (not counting the computers before PC-compatible) :
So let's begin in August 1991 whcn I got my 486DX/33 PC :

- Paradise VGA 512K ISA
- ET4000 1M ISA Very fast for DOS games
- Orchid Fahrenheit 1280+ 1M ISA Very fast at the time for Windows
- S3 Vision 864 2M PCI
- Matrox Millenium 2M PCI and 3DFX1 Canopus 6M PCI The winning combination at the time and my shock when I saw a 3DFX run for the first time.
- Matrox Mystique 220 4M PCI with Video-IN and 3DFX2 Creative 8M PCI Nice combo as well.
- Replaced the 3dFX2 Creative 8M with a 12MB
- 2*3DFX2 12 MB PCI SLI (Still with the Matrox Mystique). Mega cool for the time, was able to play games at 1024*768 on my 15" monitor.
- Matrox upgrade to Matrox Marvel G200 TV AGP 8M, still coupled with the two 3DFX2 SLI
- Abit Siluro T400 AGP (Geforce2 MX400 64MB AGP) (still with the 3DFX2 SLI for a short while, a bit odd I know).
The Video-IN capacities of the Marvel then done by a Miro DC10+ and all the motherboards slot then full ! (SCSI card, network, soundcard to count in fact).
- One 3DFX2 goes to retirement, followed by the next one shortly afterwards when finally migrating to Windows 2000.
- MSI Geforce 3 Ti500 64 MB AGP
- Abit Siluro OTES FX5900 128MB AGP



Favorite cards : The two 3DFX2 in SLI. They kept going for a long time, and I think it was special to have this SLI setup at the time. I brought each card second-hand with a few months interval. Had a lot of fun with them (Quake, Quake 2, Half-Life, Need for speed 2SE (just perfect) to 4).

The 3DFX1, even though I did not keep it very long (it was overheating and I managed to RMA it against a 3DFX2 8MB for spare cash !), this card was a huge surprise to me as I was not expecting such a quality. It was the first time I owned and saw a 3D card in action too !

The Orchid Fahrenheit 1280+ : really making Windows useable (back when it was Win 3.11). This card was not really mine as it was a long loan from a friend, I kept it until I switched to a PCI PC.

Geforce 3 Ti500 : Nice quantum leap from the so-so Gf2MX400. Still in use in the secondary computer.

Matrox Mystique 220 with Video-IN : My entry into the digital video world. I really used it a lot for this and also the good 2D (not for the 3D part...).

 

[lavaheadache]

2 meg cirrus logic
8 meg voodoo
2 12 meg monster 3d2 sli off of an original ati AIW for the 2d
16 meg voodoo 3 2000
16 voodoo 3 3000
64 meg voodoo 5 agp- my first agp card(weep)
32 meg radeon 7000
128 meg geforce 4 ti 4200
128 meg BBA radeon 9600 xt
128 meg BBA radeon 9800 pro
256 meg BBA radeon x800 pro

Most of the video cards out lived the systems they were in. When it came time to buy new mobo and proccesor the video card simply would carry over. I have a hard time parting with these things
