My video card history

[fatty4ksu]

Matrox millenium 2MB (1996)
Nvidia Viper TNT 32 MB (1999)
Nvidie 4600 128 MB (2002)
Ati X800xl 256 MB (2005)


I'd rank em like this (dominance for the time being)

1)4600
2)Matrox
3)x800xl
4)TNT

 

[SickBeast]

IMO the Matrox was the most dominant in its day.

Good for you

i've owned a gf4mx440, a 9200SE, a 9800 pro, a 9550, and now a 6600GT.

I'd rank them 9800 pro>6600GT>9550(which hits 9600XT speeds no problem)>9200SE>gf4mx440.

Chronological order:

2. dug777
3. 9600xt AIW

5. 6600gt
6. mx400

[SynthDude2001]

Hasn't this been done before?

My history: S3 Virge DX (1997 maybe?), TNT2 Ultra (1999), Radeon 8500 (2002), Radeon 9700 Pro (2003), Geforce 6800GT (2004)

Ranking...(assuming you're talking about how the cards were "at the time")...probably the 9700 Pro, then the 6800GT, then a tie between the TNT2U and 8500, and in the distant last place is the S3 Virge

Matrox was the shiznit 10 years ago. A pci Mystique was the first video card I had subjected to overclocking. The program was a real rudimentary program called MYSTCLK or something like that. It's so easy these days.
