That's all I can remember lol. But I have had a good lot ...
 
Some great cards being mentioned here and some great forgotten names. Gainward, Inno3D, amazing. I got to admit thinking back to the 3dFX Voodoo always makes me happy! haha.

I'm pretty sure my first card in the Amiga was the 3dFX Voodoo and I think I also had a Hercules 3D Prophet II. Man, flicking from software to hardware for that first time playing Mechwarrior. Amazing. I recently binned all my old files and folders full of old PC receipts. And my memory is awful, can't remember what cards I've had up until Vega64. Damn.

Next card after the 6900XT will hopefully be RDNA4 8000 series midrange for me.

Didn't you have the Asus Strix Platinum WC AIO one.. or did I imagine that :o
 
  • Wow
Reactions: mrk
I cant remember them all or the order
S3 Virge
3DFX Voodoo
TNT
TNT2 Ultra
(maybe Geforce)
Geforce 2
Geforce 4 something (I think)
Radeon x800 GTO2 (flashed to x850)
8800 GTS 320MB
HD 4890
HD 6950 (with some NVIDIA think for PhysX litter simulation on Batman)
HD 7770x2 for crossfire disappointment
970
Vega56
5700XT
7900XT

There was some NVIDIA card I cant remember the number of, maybe 560 or something that I stuck a custom cooler on; that fried itself when that fell off.
 
I've bounced between AMD and nVidia every 2-3 cards since the early 00s I guess (after Voodoo went dead). Can't remember them all... but my next will probably be the 5090, but I'm not happy about it. I'd have preferred the 5080 but if the leaks are anything to go by nVidia are attempting to eff us by selling a xx70 class card as an xx80 class, and I don't wanna drop £1k on a 70 class xD

I had that card, I was so excited when it arrived. When I took it out the box I was gob smacked at how big this thing was and I couldn't wait to try it out in Unreal Tournament 2004 and crack up the resolution.

I was gutted when it broke a few days later, I sent it back and got a refund instead of a replacement for some reason (probably had a sensible attack) but it was the only card that I was genuinely excited for as it was my first top end video card experience.

Same, Loved that game.

Iirc I was playing the first FarCry game after building my PC back then, was blown away with how good it looked. I think I had it paired with 512mb ram and an intel northbridge 3ghz gpu, cracking machine.
 
Going back a bit here and probably missing a few but... (thank god for OC historical purchases!)

Random 2d
3Dfx Orchid Righteous Voodoo 1

AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB
AMD Radeon RX 6700XT
3070Ti

I really don't see myself upgrading any time soon sadly. Being late 40s with little play time leaves about an hour of BF2024 a week and a long term goal of one day playing RDR2! Will I ever get to play GTA6.. who knows!!!
 
Nvidia 8800GT (PNY)
Nvidia 970GTX (MSI)
AMD 290X (MSI)
Nvidia 970 GTX (ASUS)
AMD RX6600 (Sapphire Pulse)
AMD 7800XT (Sapphire Nitro+)

Next GPU - Unlikely to upgrade anytime soon but when I do it will most likely be another AMD Card and a card that is the price to performance go to at the time.

Waiting for everyone to show their hands and hoping big navi will be good, otherwise will be a 3070 I think, after things settle.

Ended up going for a 3060ti (at RRP) and now on 7900XT (1070 and 3060ti are still in my possession and done nothing since, so should probably put them in other systems)

Waiting to see what 5k series brings, but not holding my breath that there'll be anything that I think is worth the cost (especially as the only demanding game I play, ARK:SA, now runs fine on the 7900XT)
