Favourite card? Obviously the Rage Pro, going from software rendered Quake World / Quake 2 to 3D accelerated was like some kind of dark magic

Another great list. Back is AMD after a long Nvidia run?
1997 - Diamond Monster 3D (3DFX)
2000 - Diamond Viper V770 TNT2 Ultra (nVidia)
2005 - ATi Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition (ATi)
2007 - nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX (nVidia)
2011 - nVidia GeForce GTX 460 (nVidia)
2017 - nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (nVidia)
2023 - Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XT Pulse (AMD) - just bought this with Starfield bundled..
The first video card I installed in a PC was the IBM Monochrome Display Adapter circa 1984... You could also choose the IBM Colour Graphics Adapter which made Olympic Decathlon and Flight Simulator look ...colourful.

Nice. I didn't know about Starfield bundles.

GeForce2 MX
GeForce4 Ti 4200
Radeon 9600XT
Radeon X1950XT
GTX 8800 Ultra
GTX 470
GTX 480
AMD 7950XT
GTX 780
GTX 1080
Highlights - the 9600XT bundled with Steam/HL2 - best free game ever? The 8800 Ultra for just being a brutal, noisy power monster, sign of things to come.
And the 1080, what a cracking card - really was a great generation for performance and efficiency.

After missing the recent discount offer on the 7900 XT, I was waiting for another one. Starfield is nearly as good
Another nice list.
I can't actually remember but I think I had a MX420 lol
My list:
Cirrus logic 1MB (1993)
Matrox Productiva G100
Voodoo 2 SLI
TNT 2 Ultra
Geforce 2 GTS
Geforce 4 Ti4400
Radeon 9800Pro
Geforce 7950GX2
Radeon HD4890
Geforce GTX480
Geforce GTX670 SLI
Geforce GTX1660Ti (current)
I've given up on PC gaming now though. I refuse to pay what they're asking for a decent GPU these days. I got my 1660Ti for £210 in late-2019 and there's little worth buying in that price range what would be a decent improvement after nearly 4 years.

Shame. You had some amazing cards.
GeForce 3 Ti 200
Radeon 7870
Radeon Rx 470x
Nvidia 1050ti
Vega 64
In-between these I had a gaming laptop Nvidia but can't remember what mx250 maybe.... It could just and I mean just run Dark souls 3.
The idea was to stop me upgrading my PC ...
I've had a few dirt cheap second hand cards for dual monitors etc. But not for gaming.
There was a big gap when I didn't PC game. Attempting to get back into it now, flirting with an upgrade. But as seen from the list I like cheap hah.
