What is your graphics card history?

I want to know what graphics cards have you people owned throughout the course of your computing life?

Heres mine

ATI Radeon X600 Pro 256MB June 2006 - end of July 2006 - The card sucked so I changed it

nVidia Geforce 7600GT 256MB End of July 2006 - August 2007

ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB August 2007 - Present

Future card - Geforce 8800GT or ATI Radeon HD4850

Not long after I bought the X1950, i went back to using my 7600GT for a bit since my old CPU was bottlenecking and my powersupply couldnt handle it proberbly and I couldnt get a good enough powersupply in that case. Ive only really being using my 1950 since ive built my new system which was two weeks ago.

Ati RADEON 9200

ATI RADEON 9600

Nvidia XFX Geforce 7800gt

1st: from december 03 (wen i bought this piece of crap) - to jan 07 (how could i resist so long...?) - geforce MX 4000 128 mb ddr... i feel embarassed D:

from jan 07 to now: geforce 7300 GT 512 ddr2

future card (with new pc in ~1-2 weeks) Geforce 8800 GTS 512 KO or HD4850 (depends on whats cheaper, still waitin for the price updates on the local shop were il buy it)

Hmmm some kinda Voodoo fx card so i could play Half-life------->Nvidia 6800 so i could play CS:S---->7800 or whatever the highest AGP card was-------->8800GTX to go with my own built PC.

im going to wait a while before i get new PC. Untill a really awsome game i want comes out. Prob end of 09.

Intergrated graphics with my laptop 915/910...Then now a 8600GT The difference is hugeleonhead

old x300

now:8600gts

Some Voodoo FX card for a Spec Ops. game

ATI x1600 (AGP)
ATI x1950 Pro 512MB (AGP)
8800GT (PCI) ----> finally

ummm well from about 2006 to now it's been some unkown P.O.S that barely runs any of the games i play, Mostly d.o.w. and there was with EVERYTHING set to min.

as of september 08 it will be between 1 & 4 HD 4850. most likely 2.

First-->Nvidia FX 5200 or something I got with prebuilt.

Then-->ATi X1600 XT I got a year and a half later (It was like the second best AGP card they had)

Now-->ATi HD4850 to go with new computer Im building (Finally after 4 years)

Funny, I've always felt like I've been an Nvidia guy, and was hoping to get an Nvidia card again, but I'm finging my self with ATi again. I just might have to switch sides.

I'm in the same boat. I've always been more attracted to ATI than Nvidia, even back when Nvidia seemed to be the more popular, obvious choice. But alas, i have decided to go green on this build because of all the terrific things i've heard about the 8800GT. Maybe in the future i will return to you, dear ATI.

7900gt

i still have pics of them why i went to the 2900xt is because my 8800gts burned out and the 2900xt was better

The only ones that matter, because when I started PC gaming DOS was around and Windows was 3.1 and couldn't play games.

Went through many integrated platforms before I got to my first dedicated card: the Radeon X300. It took me about 3 years after that to get ambitious enough to "upgrade" to a broken 8600GT. However, I didn't know this was the case and put an ad up to trade it for another card (thought it might've been my PSU not willing to power it up). Seems that I got a 7900GT for FREE from the guy that emailed me! I later sold this card for 80 and got a 7900GTX for the very same price.

TL;DR

Integrated x100000000-->Radeon X300-->7900GT-->7900GTX.

I hope to be the proud owner of a 4870 someday =]
