Time to update this.

The GTX670 failed but was just still under warranty so OcUK very generously replaced it with a GTX970, which I sold a year ago and now I'm using a Vega 56.

Let's see what I can remember - good memory exercise this. But if I go waaaay back to around 1993:

Some 8-bit ISA VGA card with 256KB VRAM, (make/model unknown - a late 1980s relic I think)
Cirrus Logic 1MB VLB
Matrox Mystique 220
- PowerVR (anyone remember these? A rival to the original Voodoo but never really took off in the consumer market. Got Wipeout 2097 free with it though)
Matrox Millenium G400
- Voodoo 2
Geforce 3, (cannot remember which brand)
Gainward Geforce FX 5800
Geforce 8800GTS 640MB
Geforce 285
Geforce 580
Asus Geforce Titan (the very original one)
Asus Geforce 1080
MSI Geforce Gaming Trio X 3080
 
cirrus logic 500kb
Diamond stealth 2mb
Rendition Verite chipset card - quake was awesome
Diamond Steath 4mb + Voodoo and then Voodoo 2
Matrox Millenium with Voodoo 3, Voodoo 5 i cannnot remember which was with which now
Ngreedia every since in honesty
I cant even remmebr the early models
Ngreedia 256
Ngreedia 480
Ngreedia 580
Ngreedia 980
Ngreedia 1080ti
Ngreedia 2080ti
Awaiting stock on the 30 series but watching what Big navi is going to be to perhaps cancel the order tbh and go team red frankly
 
I don't even remember what was in our old Gateway prebuilt, but I do know I still have the copy of Age of Empires bundled with it

TIME SKIP A WHOLE 16 YEARS

Sapphire Radeon HD 7970
GeForce GTX 970 (can't remember the brand)
PowerColor Red Devil RX580
Zotac 1080ti AMP!
ASUS ROG Strix 3090 OC
 
This is a funny one. At home I recall that at least I had:

S3 Virge 1MB
Matrox Millennium 4MB
(I plugged a 3DFX Voodoo to these ones)
Elsa GLoria XXL
Nvidia TNT
Nvidia Geforce 256
Nvidia Geforce 3 Ti 500
Nvidia Geforce 6800 Ultra
Nvidia Geforce 8800 Ultra (it did not play Crysis... at least not so well).
Nvidia Geforce 580
Nvidia Geforce 980 Ti
Nvidia Geforce 1080 Ti
Nvidia Geforce 2080 Ti

and when it arrives...

one of those Aorus Gforce 3090

Have you took delivery of that 3090 dude ? I ask as I have one on preorder for June next year I think sadly
If so is it any good and can you throw up some pics please, I’m desperate to see it in detail
 
The one's I can remember.

First gpu I brought to play doom at a good framerate, forgot the name.
3dfx voodoo 2
3dfx voodoo 3 2000 (think I still have this lying around)
Cannot remember next card was a ATI
Geforce FX 5500
Geforce FX 7600GT
-- cards below i still have in possession
Geforce 8800GT
Geforce GTX 460 (was in 2nd rig as recent as 2 years ago until I got 1030 GT)
Geforce GTX 760
-- cards below sold apart from latest --
Evga Geforce GTX 970 FTW (upgraded to x70)
Palit Geforce GTX 1070 Gamerock Premium
Auros Geforce GTX 1080ti (upgraded to x80ti) current card.
 
I'm sure I've missed a few here, forgotten some of the brands and I've excluded some of the 2D only cards that were paired with the Voodoos.

3dfx Guillemot Maxi Gamer 3dfx Voodoo
3dfx Creative 3D Blaster Voodoo2 12MB
ATi Rage 128 Pro
ATi Radeon
ATi Radeon 8500
ATi Radeon 9700 Pro
ATi Radeon 9800 Pro
NVidia GeForce 6600 GT
NVidia EVGA GeForce 8800 GT
NVidia GTX 480
NVidia MSI GTX 780 Twin Frozr OC 3GB
NVidia MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
NVidia Asus GTX 1070 Dual
NVidia EVGA SC GTX 1080 TI
NVidia Asus RTX 3080 TUF OC (pre-ordered)

Sadly the AMD/ATi merger killed off the competition from my perspective, maybe things are turning around for Big Navi.

Just worked out that net cost of ownership of all cards (except first two) under £1000 and I still have the last one.

May as well add to the list. A fun exercise. x800xl remains my favourite card.

gtx 1060 3gb
gtx 1080
rx 580
gtx 1080ti

Hmmm..memory isn't that good but
Orchid Rightous 3DFX voodoo1?
PCI Voodoo 3 2000? (AGP was the norm then I think but I only had PCI)
Geforce 2 Ti
ATI 9600XT
ATI X850XT PE
-I feel like I'm missing a card here but I can't recall
AMD 4870
GTX 1070
RTX 3090
 
Orchid Righteous Voodoo 1 (click click) - my Team Fortress card
big break from PCs
Cheap nasty FX5200 - my Counterstrike card
Gainward 6800GT GS - my Counterstrike Source card
another big break from PCs
ATi 5770
ATi 7770
Nvidia 980 - my Bioshock Infinite and VR card
Nvidia 3080 - my under desk heater
 
Got back into pc gaming in 2004. As you can see I am an Nvidia fanboy! Thought I would get that in before anyone says anything! :p

Original FarCry was what got me back into pc gaming. Would run med to high graphics with the 5200 FX card and FarCry looked stunning and it really opened my eyes to what I was missing out on when I had gone back to console gaming.

Here is the list of my old GPU's along with my current card.

Nvidia 5200 FX
Nvidia 6600 GT
Nvidia 6800 Ultra
Nvidia 8800 GS
Nvidia 8800 GT
Nvidia 280 GTX
Nvidia 680 GTX
Nvidia 1060 GTX 6gb
Nvidia 2080 RTX
Nvidia 3090 RTX

Pretty sure I have not missed any out. Back in the day money was tighter and I never really had high end cards but always went with one which would offer good value and performance. First nearly top tier car was my 2080 RTX so having the 3090 RTX will be my first top tier card and I am looking forward to it arriving with me on Monday.
