Wow 30 years has gone quick what was your first graphics card?

Hi stuie,

It was the ATI Wonder with CGA color. 1986. It was fabricated using a 1000 nanometer process. Today we use 28 nanometers.

For me, to be completely honest with you I just can't remember. My first PC was a 286-based processor, with a 40MB HDD and a monochrome display! Yes, I'm old

Wow you had a HDD in your 286?! I can remember getting my 386sx and contemplating if I really needed a HDD or not lol (I did!)

My first AMD/ATI card was a 'Rage PRO' and it was one of my first AGP cards, back in probably '98? Until then I'd used PCI Voodoo's (1 & 2's) and a geforce256 . I stuck with geforce then until plagued by driver problems I came back to AMD in 2009 (Radeon 4870) and been a red follower since!

Gutted I missed the stream, is there a press release where we can see what was discussed/revealed?
