What's your graphics card history?

[Bambooz]

- ATI EGA Wonder 800+ (8 Bit ISA, 256 (?) KB)
- Paradise VGA (512KB, onboard in a Compaq Deskpro 386/s)
- OAK Technology OTIVGA 512KB (ISA)
- Tseng Labs ET4000AX 1MB (ISA)
- Trident TGUI9440 1MB (PCI)
- S3 Trio64 V+ 2MB (Onboard via PCI in a HP Vectra Pentium1)
- Matrox Mystique 6MB (PCI)
- Diamond Monster 3D II 12MB (3DFX Voodoo II PCI in addition to the Matrox above)
- SiS 300 32MB (AGP .. sh..ttiest card I've ever owned. Driver problems galore and slow as f**k)
- Geforce 2 MX 400 (32MB SD, AGP, died with random multi-coloured pixel salad on screen)
- Geforce FX5200 (64MB DDR, AGP, dirt cheap replacement for the GF2MX, died rather quickly with the same trippy pixel-salad as the GF2 (passive heatsink at 70°C temps))
- Radeon 9000 (9100?) IGP (64MB Shared .. weirdo chipset graphics thing on a S478 Pentium 4 board which was made by Sapphire O.o)
- Radeon 9600 128MB (AGP .. "replacing" the above due to absurd driver problems)
- Geforce 6800GT 256MB (AGP)
- Geforce 8800GTS 320MB (the older G80 core, PCIe starting with this card)
- Geforce GTX260 896MB (216SP 55nm including the annoying coil whine and no power saving features)
- Radeon HD6870 1GB (current card)

Crikey, struggling to think back that far, it's getting on for 20 years for me :-O

I can't remember every card or the exact order they came in, but I think it was something along the lines of:

Edit: Forgot the first card - was a Cirrus Logic of some sort
S3 Trio 1Mb (in the days of DOS/Win 3.1/486's)
Some early Matrox 2D/3D accelerator (poss. G200)
Voodoo 2
GeForce 2MX
GeForce 4MX (yes I later realised this was basically the same card as the 2MX. I was young and naive back then
GeForce 4200
ATi Radeon 9800 Pro
GeForce 5900FX
ATi Radeon 9500 (had to sell the 5900FX a few months later)
GeForce 6600
GeForce 8800 GTS (the original 320mb version)
GeForce 8800 GT
GeForce GTX 280
GeForce GTX 480

With the i7 3770 I bought last year, my GTX480 still runs everything fine, so no plans to upgrade again until next year when Elite: Dangerous is released (and hopefully GTA 5 too).

Going from what I can remember:

Voodoo Banshee
Voodoo 3
GeForce 4MX
<Must of had something in here but can't remember?!>
ATI x800XT PE
nVidia 460 SC

New GFX card inc in a month or so... maybe 780

1998 - 3dfx Voodoo 2
2001 - PowerVR Kyro
2002 - GeForce3 Ti 200
2003 - Radeon 9500 Pro
2004 - GeForce 6600
2004 - GeForce 6600GT (when I realised the 6600 was gimped)
2005 - Radeon X800XL
2006 - Radeon X1950XTX
2007 - GeForce 8800GTX
2008 - GeForce GTX280
2010 - GeForce GTX280 Tri-SLI
2011 - GeForce GTX580
2012 - GeForce GTX670
2013 - GeForce GTX560Ti 448 (financial emergency = downgrade)

Mostly great cards, a couple of lemons...

Voodoo 2

Geforce 7600GT

Yeah, I'm due an upgrade...

[YEHBABY]

I can't remember the dates and I may have missed one or two, but I can recall the following:

Voodoo 3 2000 or 3000 - I can't recall which.
GeForce3 Ti 200
Radeon 9700
GeForce 6600GT
GeForce 8800GT
GeForce GTX280
GeForce GTX580

All great cards and I feel I got my monies worth between upgrades.

[Spreadie]

No way can I remember all of them, perhaps a brief selection roughly in order...

First one was an ISA 512KB Genoa card
Rage 128
S3 Virge
Riva 128
Matrox Mystique with RAM expansion
Matrox G400 twinhead
Rage Fury Maxx (for about a week - it was awful)
Riva TNT
Geforce 256
Geforce 2
FX5600
9600 Pro
9800SE unlocked to Pro
SLI 6600GTs
7800GT
8800GTS 320MB
9800GTX+
4870 1GB
GTX 295
GTX 670

There were the odd 3DFX dalliances in there, including Voodoo 2 SLI (still got them), as well as a Voodoo 3 somewhere.

What was the problem with the Rage Fury Maxx? Just speed? I never owned one but it has to be one of the most memorable names ever in computer hardware :-D I've just ordered a GTX670, can't wait!
