Voodoo 3 3000 (which broke not long after 3Dfx went bust and all the stock had gone for a replacement)
Radeon 7000
Radeon 9800 Pro

ATI 7000 Series (can't remember model number)
GeForce 3 Ti
GeForce 8000 GT
GeForce 275 GTX
GeForce 970 GTX
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (Sapphire Pulse / Current card)

The 7900 XT has been brilliant. Very happy with the card.

Had to get used to the Adrenalin software, but it's been very intuitive. It makes NCP look extremely old hat by comparison.
 
I don't think I can actually remember but here goes,

Geforce4 Ti 4800
ATI Radeon 9800 (can't remember the exact model but it certainly looked similar to this one)
Sapphire HD 7750
Asus HD 7970 Matrix Platinum
Asus HD 7970 Matrix Platinum Crossfire
EVGA Geforce GTX 980Ti
EVGA Geforce GTX 980Ti Kingpin
MSI Geforce GTX 980Ti
 
Voodoo 3 3000 - No idea of year.

Had a long time out of PC gaming, drinking, women, marriage, kids and consoles got in the way.

2019 - 970 - Sold and upgraded.
2020 - Vega 64 - Died on me, but sold as spares for a crazy price in the GPU boom.
2021 - GTX 1070 - bought as a stop gap in the hope of bagging a new AMD when they came out, which I did so sold this.
2021 - 6800

Bought a second hand system in 2019 to get back in to it. Completely rebuilt a new systems over the years. Not bought anything for a while so have an itch as you do... But the 6800 has served me well.
 
Geforce FX 5800
Geforce 6200 Low Profile
GeForce 8600 GT Low Profile "Ratatouille Edition"
Radeon 7970M
Radeon R9 Nano
Geforce GTX 1070
Geforce GTX 1080Ti
Radeon RX 5700 XT
Radeon RX 7600
Geforce RTX 4070Ti

I don't think I've left anything out, although I don't remember some of them too well (Ratatouille Edition???), but my email history doesn't lie.

I just sold the 4070Ti, so I'm currently using the iGPU of the 7800x3D.

Nvidia RIVA TNT2
Nvidia GeForce4 MX440
Radeon 9500 - later bios flashed to a 9700Pro - Best card in history for its time!
Radeon X850XT
Nvidia 7800GTX
Radeon HD5850
Nvidia GTX580
Nvidia GTX670
R9 280X x 2 - Originally purchased to mine crypto, mined their value and then put in my PC to game with. First play with crossfire.
Nvidia 780GTX x2 - First play with SLI
Nvidia GTX 1080
Nvidia RTX3060Ti
Nvidia RTX3070Ti - Current card

That was a fun trip down memory lane. Come a long way since that TNT2 back around 2000 playing delta force land warrior. Think i might have missed a card between the x850xt and the hd5850... really hard to remember that period of time.
