    3dfx Voodoo 2. First true 3D card. At the time with some of the old Glide / Quake / Hexen / Half-Life era games, quite outstanding.

    My original 3dfx voodoo. Wow!

    Mind you, the S3 Virge 3D it replaced was pretty special - no support and hopeless at rendering just about anything, but it used to _attempt_ everything thrown at it (massive psychedelic trip every time).

    My first 3D accelerator, the Voodoo Banshee... awesome name, awesome price vs performance.

    I'd probably say it was the Geforce4 Ti 4200; lasted me years, clocked like a beast and was dirt cheap.

    Best overall value/performance for me was a GTX260. Bang for buck it did everything I wanted it to, and I did not feel in need of an upgrade right up until only a couple of months ago.

    The best graphics card I bought was the Sapphire HD 4870, it kept running all the new games at high frame rates for years. It took forever to justify a replacement for it. I do like my newer Sapphire HD6950 2GB Dirt3 Edition as well though.
