let's see, oldest card would be the Hercules graphics adapter in my old PC-XT, worst would probably be the Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 (2MB EDO Dram)

Personally, a Diamond Stealth 3mb S540. Crappiest 32mb card I have ever had the displeasure of using. Works great for some, not for me.

My GeForce Prophet 3D SDR was the worst, never worked fine (50% of my games never worked with), no support. Nvidia = Never Again
Now I have a Radeon and all but 3 games works fine without any problems, very great card.

I'd have to say the Diamond 550 I think, with that crappy Savage 2000 chip. Pure junk! It always caused my comp to freeze on NT. Also an SiS card that I had with an old Aptiva. Another piece of Junk!!! I hate thinking about those old cards I had!

Bluemax, the games are Falcon 4 (Corrupted HUD), Sacrifice (Fog) and another game I don't remember but I played it with my voodoo 2. FYI: I have more than 150 games. I played all others games maxxed (a lot at 1600*1200 32bits) with full details and I'm very very very happy with my Radeon.

What, no Savage 2000 from anyone? Or was everyone smart enough to stay away? =)
