what video card was your favorite? (that you own/owned)

6600GT, amazing value. Still running my games well on mid settings. (CoD2, F.E.A.R, and UT2004) Best of all the Zalman heatpipe cooler fits it perfectly like peanut butter and jelly. Cheap, silent and it gets the job done until DX10 comes out. I just hope it was HDCP compliant. It would've been a perfect card if it was.
 
Ti4600, it was a solid card and I was still able to play HL2 with decent framerates. Also had a Radeon 7500 that ran flawlessly but just couldn't play the current games.

My current 6800 has not been that great, it had to be rma'd, atleast they are sending me back a 6800gs.
 
When i first go my Geforce 3... That was a pretty ground breaking card when it was released..

But my 1900xtx probably takes the cake!
 
I liked the 6600GT I bought when I was upgrading to PCI-e

I was blown away on how much better it was compared to my 9800 AIW in HL2 and the rest of the games I played.
 
I would have to say the 9700pro by far.. A solid performance in time...I had kept it for my second rig and it amazed me for the longetivity it had..
 
I'd have to say my 9800Pro. Purely because it was the first real upgrade I've had (came from a GeForce 2 MX400). The jump from 9800Pro to SLI 7800GTs was awesome, too... but I went from no-games to playing all-games with the 9800Pro.
 
Voodoo4 (would have been 5 if I could have afforded it). I loved Glide and the fantastic FSAA. (Big UT fan back in the day).
 
I had a Ati Aiw wonder card sli'ed with 2 12meg monster 3d 2's That was around the time of the original unreal(not tournament). I still think that game is great..... pondering the thought of digging it out of storage. That was probably the most impressive rig I have owned.
 
My current one (currently a PowerColor X1900 Xt). Because it is at least twice as fast as my previous card!

Although, I have say I REALLY liked (and still have...) my VooDoo 2 12Meg SLI card (never ran it in SLI...). That card was a revolutionary upgrade to my computer.
 
Still using a 9800 Pro after 2.5 years, still can play most graphic intensive games at high/med settings with some exceptions, like AA and AF.
 
4200Ti best bang for value, although it felt nice to have the fastest available when I bought my 7800GTX.
 
definately my 9500 non pro softmodded to 9700 and then overclocked past 9700pro levels!. that card lasted me up until i basically moved to pci-e.
 
9700 pro. I'd still be using it now if I hadn't built a new system a while back and decided to go with a PCI-e MB. The 9700 pro can run every game at high settings that I am currently playing perfectly (WoW, City of Heroes/Villains) and will be able to play D&D Stormreach just fine as well which I plan to be playing for the next year.

Close second is my current 6600 which I paid $50 as a refurb several months ago and has been running steady OCed at 575/700.
 
9800Pro all the way, still playes current games at mid settings, great considering its 2.5 gens old (half way to R600/G80)
