So which forum member is using the oldest Graphics card?

[kefan77]

I got one of thoes MX 440's but using it to prop up my wardrobe .

I must have upgraded, as according to wiki this was released in 2002, and if i recall, I bought the PC in mid 2001.

My brother has a GTX 260 in his system still.

And I still have a working Geforce 2 some where in the house.

My 280x is RMA at the min, so having to use my HD5770 1gb. GW2 20fps on medium

I still have my 12 MB 3DFX Voodoo2 3D Accelerator card, which required a standard 2D card to work. My setup back then was:

ATI 4MB 3D Rage II
Creative Labs 12MB 3DFX Voodoo 2
Creative Labs Dxr3 MPEG-2 decoder card (for DVD playback)
CPU was AMD K6 233 Mhz (for reference)

I still have the whole system in boxes ... no idea idea why I still keep it really.

I still have my 9700pro somewhere. probably about 3/4 9800pros in the attic, an x800 somewhere.

 

[Reality|Bites]

i''ve still got two volt modded 7900GT's ( silver paint trick ) and an 8800 Ultra under my bed.

My father still uses an Hercules ATI Prophet All-In-Wonder 9800SE so he can watch and capture tv on his computer

I just threw out a bunch of those all in one cables. God knows how I accumulated so many.

 

[Scougar]

There are older one's out there, but just found a 9800xt 128mb in the garage. (might be a 9600xt can't remember now, it was a few hours ago)

I keep an old DOS gaming PC around for playing old games - it was my main machine in 1999. It's a P3-450.

It has an Asus V7700 Deluxe as its main card - a Geforce 2 GTS (32MB). It originally had a Matrox Millennium G200 LE (8MB) but I got rid of that as the performance was dire.

There's also a Voodoo 2 lurking in there.

The oldest graphics card that I could still use if I was mad enough is a Diamond Stealth card with a whopping 1MB of DRAM from 1996.

The mid to late 90s were really amazing when it came to growth of technology.

Remember when 32MB was "silly"?

I've got all sorts of old GPUs knocking around. 3dfx V5 5500 anyone? I might even have an old Trident somewhere. There's a box with an old VLB GPU of some description in the attic. Of more recent vintage and still in use is a Geforce 7600 GS AGP.

3dfx V5 5500 anyone?

I still have working on Win 98 SLI of those AGP (not PCI) though with Halo on the box circa 2000 before it took 3 years to reach PC!

 

[Closing]

[dunker]

[P.B]

[PakJai]

I remember my first Gpu was a 3Dfx card and what a difference that made.

 

[phatboy]

Not my main machine but...got a P3 933Mhz shuttle that runs 98 and an FX5200 PCI (gahhh!) and I am building an Athlon XP unit. GPU in that one is going to be a Ti4800se as someone gave me one fully boxed (Golden Sample too!)

Trying to find a voodoo card to stick in there but seriously struggling to get one

Didn't believe this at first but checked the bay... are they finally becoming rare??

 

[phatboy]
