Geforce 4 MX440 64MB - 2003 (13 year old me was just happy to have a PC to begin with)
Palit Geforce 7300GT 256MB - 2007 (potato tier, by 2013 it was just painful to use)
Gigabyte Windforce Radeon HD7950 3GB - 2013 (first time I experienced 60FPS gaming in FHD. Not looked back since)
EVGA Geforce GTX 1070 8GB - 2016 (GOAT, I liked it the most out of all card cards I had)
Sapphire Nitro Radeon 6900XT 16GB - 2021 (I really wanted 3090 and this was just a stopgap)
MSI Suprim Geforce RTX 3090 24GB - 2021 (absolute beauty. Great 4K experience but it ran so hot)
FE Geforce RTX 4080 16GB - 2022 (FOMO purchase, moved onto 4090 in a matter of few days)
PNY XLR8 Geforce RTX 4090 24GB - 2022 (ploughs through everything I throw at it, no complaints after 2 years of use)

I started in the 90s with a Matrox Mystique then onto the 3DFX voodoo 2 and 3 offerings, flipped between Nvidia/AMD since but too many to remember tbh. Now rocking a RX 6800 with one eye on the new crop coming soon.
 
Onboard graphics - 1999 (Parents got ripped off buying a PC for my Christmas present which they thought had a Voodoo installed lol)

3DFX Voodoo 4500 PCI - 2000 (Aforementioned PC didn't have an AGP slot)

Hercules Kyro 2 - 2001ish (Absolutely loved this card. It was cheap as chips and in many games did very well against the big boys)

Radeon 9700 Pro - 2002 (Had to buy this because the Kyro 2 had no hardware based T&L - and I REALLY wanted to play Battlefield 1942)

Geforce 7900GS - 2006ish (Have no recollection of this beyond having some issues playing Dawn of War)

Sapphire Radeon 3870X2 - 20008 (Spent an absolute fortune buying all new parts with massive loan - I was dumb - Still couldn't run Crysis on high)

Radeon 5850 - 2009 (Lovely little card this was, I still have it as a backup although I can't imagine it would be up to much)

Gigabyte Radeon 7970 - 2012 (First thing I bought when I got my first job after uni. £350 for a flagship GPU - those were the days!)

Palit GTX 980Ti - 2015 (The 7970 struggled with The Witcher 3 so I splurged on this)

EVGA 2080 - 2019 (the 980Ti died :( )

RTX 3070Ti FE -2022 (Spur of the moment buy - was a pointless "ugrade" honestly.)

Gainward 4070Ti - 2024 (Another bit of madness. Got a great deal from the b-grade section though)
 
Some ATI one I don't remember (I was too young)
GT520
GT740
R9 380
RX 580
Vega 56
1080ti
2080ti
