What video cards have you owned?

[nitromullet]

With the recent introduction of both ATi and nVidia's new GPU's and all the drama that this has entailed, there have been a number of threads that mention brand loyalty. So, I am curious to know what you've had in your rig over the years. Try to put them in order if possible.

Here's my list:

Diamond Viper V550 - nVidia TNT2 16MB
ATi Radeon DDR 32MB (built by ATi)
Visiontek Xtasy GeForce 3 Ti200 64MB
ATi Radeon 8500 64MB (built by ATi)
Leadtek GeForce 4 Ti4200 64MB
Crucial Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB
BFGTech GeForce FX 5900 128MB

 

[Corporate Thug]

GF2 MX400
Gf4 MX400
4200
9600 pro
9700 pro
9800 pro

 

[SickBeast]

Cirrus Logic 1MB PCI
ATi RageII 4MB
3DFX VoodooII 8MB
3DFX Voodoo3 16MB
Matrox G400 16MB
Radeon 7000 32MB
GeForce2 GTS 32MB
Radeon 8500 64MB
Radeon 9700 128MB

Of all of those cards, the best for its time was the VoodooII...sooooooo fast!!! Beyond that the 9700 stands out, I'm still using it after 2 years or so.
