GeForce 2 MX400
Radeon X800GTO or X850XT PE
Radeon X1900 or X1950?
Radeon HD 5870
Radeon RX480 8GB
Looking to replace this now. Bought a Radeon RX6700 10GB for the kids so probably something a bit better so I can take that one.

Riva TNT2
8800 GTS
ATI 4000(not sure which)
ATI 5770
ATI 7950
R290
Bought a 1500w PSU to x-fire another 290 and not be worried about power usage, then my original 290 died so I bought,
2x GTX 980
Then the slow death of SLI kicked in so I bought,
GTX 1080Ti in 2020.
Now have a Lenovo Legion Pro 4080.

Oh one of these threads again. Let's see if I can remember from scratch...
Some really old cards that came from pre-builts that somehow filtered down to me.
Then from ones I started buying myself or at least including in my own builds:
X1650 Pro
8800 GTS 320MB
4870 1GB
<the valley of mostly only owning laptops goes here>
R9 Nano
3060
4070
My favourite was probably that 4870 1GB.

Asus TUF GeForce RTX 3070 8GB (sitting in a box waiting for me to sell it)
Powercolor Red Devil Radeon 6960XT 16GB (in my main system)
I did use some other cards on the side, used ones I aquired etc as I often had more than one system on the go from the point I had the Riva TNT really, but I've included the main ones I can recall, I also had a lot of laptops in the 2008-2012 period but not included any mobile stuff, I do have a 3060 mobile now though.

Wow, that's was you call and complete history through the ages!
I started in the hobby with Windows 95, a Pentium 133 at the start of the 3d graphics PC era really, been in it and loving it ever since.
