Your GPU history tree and potential next card

[HarryBizzle]

GeForce 6600 256MB
ATI 9600GSO 512MB (Got caught out with the 7900 GRE style naming on this stinker)
Nvidia GTX 660Ti 2GB
AMD RX 480 4GB
AMD 6700XT 12GB

Potential next card - who knows, but I think I will probably be looking to go a tier up next time. Dipped my toe back into PC gaming with the 6700 and really enjoying it, so am prepared to spend more next time out and see if I can replace my consoles completely with a PC.

 

[Raumarik]

3dfx Banshee
Nvidia Geforce 2 Ti
Nvidia Geforce FX 5500
Nvidia Geforce 6600
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX
ATI Radeon HD 5570
ATI Radeon HD 7950 (HIS 7950 IceQ X2)
Nvidia Geforce 980 (Inno 3D 980 Ultra Air Boss)
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080Ti (Evga 1080Ti SC2 Hybrid)

Next card will be something ~4080 performance although probably not the 40 series, likely AMD or 50 series.

S3 virge 3D + voodoo 1

After writing this list and seeing how much money I have spent over the years.....not sure I want to think about a new GPU , if price was right maybe a 7900xt?

[Megahurtz400]

Can remember my first but gets a bit more shaky between that an around 10 years ago!

ATI 9700

God knows from that to around 2014

4090 new this week.

Won’t be buying a new GPU till 2028 I hope

Considering the first GPU I got was like 21-22 years ago, it's getting kinda difficult to remember correctly.

Virge something 2MB
Diamond S3 Savage(?) 16MB <- slaying noobs in Unreal Tournament on this "beast"

[JonRGV250]

Over the last 2 or so years..
RTX 2060
RTX 3060Ti
RTX 3080
RTX 4090

Next card will be whatever the flagship 50xx card is.

 

[GhostDog1981]

3070ti, 3080, 3060ti, 7900xt, probably 10900XT

 

[Dazl1212]

There's going to be some gaps here but I'll give it a go.
S3 trio
S3 Savage 4
GeForce 4
7600 GT (I think it was a GT or GS)
HD 4670
550 ti
HD 6950
R9 390
RTX 2060

Looking at a 6700 xt or something from Nvidia, as I've been playing around with Daz3d, but I can't really afford a worthwhile upgrade from Nvidia really. It'd need to be 12+ GB of ram and a decent uplift in performance like the 6700xt for around the price of a 6700xt.

 

[I kill Bunnies]

660
1060
5700xt
3080

Not intending to buy another for a while.

 

[Havana_UK]

Going to show my age now...

Early 90s, some sort of Matrox card (Millenium maybe?)
3DFX Voodoo
nVidia Riva 128
3DFX Voodoo2
nVidia Riva TNT
nVidia Riva TNT2
nVidia GeForce 256 DDR
nVidia GeForce 2 Ultra
nVidia GeForce 3 Ti500
nVidia GeForce 4 Ti4600
nVidia GeForce FX 5700 Ultra
nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra SLI
nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX SLI
nVidia GeForce GTX 280 SLI
nVidia GeForce GTX 480
nVidia GeForce GTX 680
nVidia GeForce GTX 780Ti
nVidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super
AMD Radeon RX7900XT

Who knows what will happen next...

 

[jklc]

My memory gets fuzzy on decades old GPU stuff but I guess going backwards..

RTX 3080
GTX 1080ti
GTX 980ti
GTX970
HD 7970
HD 7950
GTX 560 one then sli for a while in the 3D monitor days

8800 GT
X1950 XT mixing dates up here but this one is still dead in a drawer somewhere!
Geforce 7900 GT also in the drawer
Geforce ti4400
Ati Rage something

Probably forgetting bits but the earliest was S3 stuff with a Matrox something and Voodoo.. banshee?

Currently sitting on the 3080 until it's not able to reach 60 frames at a decent picture quality/resolution after playing with settings. Anything Nvidia (4080,4090) is still stupid money. On the AMD side it'd probably be the 7900 XTX but again still not ready to commit.

[marinersfan]

Current GTX 1070.
Previous GTX 970.
Prior to that I can't remember. Been in to Pcs since late 90s, so we'll say lots of others.

 

[Bug One]

Voodoo 2
Voodoo 2 SLI
Radeon 9800
1050ti
3050 RTX

Next card I suspect might be a 4070. But in a few years when they're around £300.

 

[mingey]

4090 presently, at this rate the next card will be a credit one.
