    My dad got us a voodoo FX banshee on our home computer back in the day. I guess the first one I personally bought would have been a GTX 970

    Hercules Prophet 9700 Pro

    I remember because it was my first PC that I got for myself. I was an intern at a small computer repair shop and that’s where I learned how to build computers.

    Before that I only played on my parents PC and afterwards I switched to Mac.

    It was a shiny EGA card.

    On an 8-bit ISA bus, with a whopping 64kB of VRAM. It could display an amazing 16 colours on one screen.

    My friend who had a CGA card was so jelly with his four eye-soaring neon colours.

    If we’re talking accelerated graphics, I bought a voodoo 2 with 8mb of RAM which linked up to my ATI Mach 64 2d-card.

    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

      If you hold onto your cards for 6-7 years, that’s only around 5 cards.

      Mine goes:

      • RTX 4070
      • GTX 1080
      • GFX 5200 (I think?)
      • (The Playstation 2 years)
      • (The Playstation years)
      • 3dfx Voodoo

    Trident VGA?

    I got a 3DFX voodoo as soon as they came out. GL quake was mind-blowing.

    I bought a Riva TNT

    Then a GeForce 2

    Then a Radeon 9000

    Then for a bunch of years I just moved into laptop after laptop with discrete GPUs.

    Now I still have a 1080 and a 2070 doing a little bit of light AI work and video transcoding for me. But I’m still relying on crappy laptop GPUs for all my gaming. They’re good enough.
