Your GPU history

Geforce 2 MX 400? Came in my first ever personal PC and I was just delighted at it being a GeForce and thought I had an amazing card! Despite it being very old at the time in reality.
Sapphire Radeon 9600XT (The silent one with heatpipe!)
XFX 6800GT - Incredible packaging I seem to remember!
Sapphire x1950pro AGP! after the 6800gt got faulty and at that age I didn't think about warranties! Still was a decent upgrade, the only decent AGP card still around I seem to remember.

ATI rage 128
Matrox Mystique
PowerVR Kyro2
NV Riva TNT2 had a few revisions of this card.

NV Gefore 3 ti 500
s3 Savage 2000
Radeon 9700 pro - Killed trying to volt mod.

3870 & 3850
4870 & 4850
5850
280x

Probably upgrade sometime next year as my system is getting on a bit now. When your laptop outperforms your desktop in every area for less power consumption than your cpu alone draws it's time to upgrade.
 
These threads are too easy to just list your gpu's. Quick rummage in the cupboard and this is pretty much my gpu history only a couple missing.. all still working last time i tested them.

Now that's impressive. I see you are a fan of the dual GPU cards. That 3870X2 was a noisy chappy :D
 
Nvidia MX 440
Radeon 9600 XT
Radeon 9800 Pro
Nvidia 6800 Ultra
Nvidia 7800 GTX
Nvidia 8800 GTX
Nvidia 8600 GT (stopgap)
Nvidia GTX 280
Radeon 5870
Radoen 7970
Nvidia GTX 780 sli

Never keep old GPU's they always get donated to someone when I upgrade.
