Trident VGA?
I got a 3DFX voodoo as soon as they came out. GL quake was mind-blowing.
I bought a Riva TNT
Then a GeForce 2
Then a Radeon 9000
Then for a bunch of years I just moved into laptop after laptop with discrete GPUs.
Now I still have a 1080 and a 2070 doing a little bit of light AI work and video transcoding for me. But I’m still relying on crappy laptop GPUs for all my gaming. They’re good enough.
I was rocking Geeforce 2 and Soundblaster AWE 32. Good times😄
I got a 3Dfx from a computer fair in Liverpool just so I could play Quake 2 CTF, it was absolutely mind blowing not even an understatement.
Cirrus Logic GD5428.
Geforce 2 fx
I attempted to upgrade such a card and were suggested the Geforce FX 5200.
I was so hyped. After finally installing the games I always wanted to play I ad to realize: This passive cooled card supported DX9 on paper but its performance was worse.
It crushed me back then and since then I have never bought a desktop PC part ever again.
But then recently I was gifted an old rig from a friend. Put a Readon RX 6700 (or so) in it. So my first actual graphics card is this radeon!! :)
Buddy, if you read this: Thank you again, much love. You are an awesome beeing.
My single-slot Radeon HD 6770 from PowerColor was quite nice, although outrageously loud toward the end of its lifespan. Bit of a dead end from the start though (last of TeraScale, never got Vulkan), but I still had a blast with it.
Voodoo Banshee
Voodoo Banshee, so I could play Quake, Unreal and Deus Ex.
Dont remember the details anymore, but I remember something called “Voodoo”.
Also, connecting 2 different types of graphics cards with a cable on the outside for some reason.I got a graphics card that somehow bricked hard drives. We went through a lot of hard drives before finding out this was the case. I don’t remember specifics
Radeon HD 6570, bit humble. Still not very powerful, I only have a GTX 950 at best, I don’t PC game much these days
ViRGE 3D, upgraded the memory with 2 chips to play Tomb Raider.
Sapphire Radeon RX 480 (4GB)
I was about to get one of those used (only difference is it being the 8GB version) but at the end it turned out it didn’t work so I bought a new RX 6600 instead
Me too! I’m actually still running mine, I’ve been desperately needing an upgrade
GTX 980. put it in my first self built tower, which I still use to this day
GTX 1060 in a laptop. I still have it.

As a teen in the 2010s, my first GPU was an Nvidia 680m in a Sager (Clevo) laptop.
That thing could power through just about anything I’d throw at it. Good times.
