Sapphire X1900 pro
Geforce 8800GT

Voodoo ones were the best. The difference they made was incredible.
 
I think it was:

1mb Trident
2mb or 4mb Matrox Mystique :o
3DFX Voodoo Banshee (nice, Q2 looked luvverly)
3DFX Voodoo 3 2000 (nicer still, and twice as fast, I think this went to I7)
Hercules Prophet II GTS (I still have it in all its metallic blue glory and the fan was replaced under warranty) :cool:
XFX 5700LE (a complete letdown) :(
Sapphire 1900 XTX (Still have it)
Sapphire 1950 XTX (Still have them in crossfire)

Next card is probably a 4850 or 4870 Toxic as I like sapphire cards.
 
i think i had:

nvidia 5500 AGP - 128mb
nvidia 6600GT AGP - 256mb
ati X850XT AGP - 256mb
nvidia 6600 PCI - 256mb
nvidia 7800GTX PCI-E - 256mb
ati 2900XT PCI-E - 512mb
ati 4870X2 PCI-E - 2048mb


:)


the loudest out of them all, the x850xt, the card i enjoyed the most for the games at the time probibly the 6600GT or the x850xt or the 7800gtx.

dont rate the new cards right now at the moment, i think for the graphics on games now a days the graphics cards are turd, they cant handle them
 
i'll just list the cards from my main pc,

64mb Geforce 2
128mb FX 5200
128mb 9500 non pro softmod 9700!
xxx 6800le solder modded to 6800gt.
256mb 6800GT leadtek (broke after 2 weeks)
256MB 6800GT Asus
256mb X800 gecube
256mb 7800GTX Gainward Golden sample
512mb X1800XTX Asus
256mb 7900GS Gainward Golden Sample SLI
1GB 3870X2 MSI OC

Additonal:-
Biggest rip off - 7800gtx! paid 327 new was replaced 6months later with 79 series.
Loudest - X1800 XTX
Best value - 3870 X2 100quid off the bay
epeen - 9500Non pro modded to 9700 back in the day. 18k in 3dmark 2001 get in :)

next card - 4830 Xfire. then 4870X2
 
Only got into computing 3+ years ago. Scary to think how much i've spent on this kit! :(

9250se 64mb (poor)
9600se 128mb (poor)
9600le 128mb (poor)
9600xt 256mb (budget rocket - ran HL2 suprisingly well)
9800pro 128mb (fast but ran hot)
x850xt 256mb (nice card - clocked very well)
6800ultra 256mb (used heaps of power - my generic 450watt psu struggled to keep up)
7800gt 256mb (ace budget card - £50... no complaints!)
7950GX2 (probably the most fun i've had with a card - aircooling modded quite heavily)
7800GT (returned to it while i save for the 8800)
8800GTX (very fast card - took everything in it's stride... awesome)
2900XT 512mb (very fast but hate CCC and uses heaps of power.
2900XT 512mb x2 :cool: (as you could have guessed big performance but equally big leccy bills! :eek:)
2900pro flashed to XT (just used while i waited to sell and downgrade to the 3850)
HD3850pro 256mb (featherweight in cost, appearance and power usage - a true GPU gem! :))
8800GTS *G92* (Nearly as fast as the GTX - nice card)
3870X2 (great card spoiled by duff drivers and ATi's terrible CCC)
HD3850 (holding card while i waited for the GX2)
9800GX2 (By far the fastest card i've ever used - eclipses all of the above by a very good margin!) :)
6600GT (interim card to tide me over)
HD4850 x2 in crossfire. Incredible performance that just tipped the GX2.
7800GT (same one as above - only using it while i wait to get either a GTX 260 or 280)
GTX260
GTX260 SLi
