An Nvidia GeForce 6200. It could run assassin's creed, the first one.
First and last. Radeon 9600xt
The first one I got was some integrated cirrus logics chip that didn't even have 3d acceleration. The first one I bought with my own money was a GeForce 7800GT in late 2005
I had an ATI all in wonder 9600. That card was very unique because it also had a built in TV tuner and AV capture card that could turn your PC into a DVR of sorts. It went into an agp slot before PCIe was a thing.
ATI Mach32 EISA. It looked to good on paper, but somehow, it did not make DOS go brrrrrr ๐
I believe I had the Riva tnt2. After that upgrading to the original GeForce 256. Was on my Intel Celeron 300A that you could overclock to a whopping 450mhz!
3dfx Voodoo2, followed by a Riva tnt2. Good times were had.
Oh man, talk about bringing me back in time. My first card was a voodoo 2.
MSI 4GB version of GTX970. Upgraded a few years ago to an RX6800 and I'm stoked about both GPUs tbh
rx580. still have it on top of a shelf.
First custom pc I got had a NVIDIA 6600 gt
Riva TNT 16MB, brand name Elsa, card called Erazor.
AMD Radeon 6300M.
Or if mobile doesn't count: GTX 1060-6GB
Mine was an ELSA Erazor III LT (the name somehow stuck). It was an offer that was bundled with horribly bad and clumly mechanical shutter 3D goggles. I remember trying Half Life with it. It was rattling all the time and the 3D effect was mediocre.
A Cirrus Logic, on VLB on my 486DX/40, with 4 MB of RAM, and a SoundBlaster card. December 1994.
I had an s3 virge card. Amazingly bad, it basically was no faster than cpu rendering, but looked a bit better. I spent so much time trying to trick games into running on it.
GeForce 3 Ti 200.
Combined with a athlon xp 1800+ and blistering 512 MB DDR Ram I was simply TEARING through Warcraft 3 and Half Life. Thanks mom.
GTX 1060 in a laptop. I still have it.
First computer I built had a BFG 7600gt with the first upgrade I ever did was a BFG 8800gt
Miss BFG and EVGA for nvidia cards.
My brother and I after putting our allowances together as kids got either a Voodoo 2 or 3 (can't remember anymore) in order to run quake 2 better back in 1999.
B*tchin' Fast 3D 2000
Nvidia GT 9400.
Ayyyy
A GeForce 9 series
Radeon 7770.
That would be a gt 8800. It was a gift from a friend when I build my first pc.
With some tweaking, it ran great for years even though it was quite old by the time it was given to me. It had some features I kinda miss in newer gpu's
