My first card was a Diamond Monster 3DII (8MB), which I later SLI'ed with a friend's card to play the Quake III Arena demo at 1024x768. Ah, those were the days.

Geforce FX5200. Funny, I still use it since 2004, or 2005 on the same old computer (1GB Ram, P4 CPU, 40gb harddrive, Xp) and it still work great. Plays games on 1200x1000 great

My very first one was a cheap Geforce 4 mx (forgot which version) but after a few months I got a Geforce 4 ti4600. I knocked off a capacitorback in 2005 and it still works like a charm on an old computer.

A 6800 Ultra. That was smoking up Battlefield 2 lol. And it still performs fabulously today, except Crysis murders it.

My first integrated card 3 years ago was an ATI Radeon Xpress 200 which was really crap. Even for its time I could barely play FIFA 07 on 640x480 resolution, cos it lagged horribly.

I have had computers before that but can't remember what GPU I had, I was a kid then and I had no clue about graphics cards.

I've only ever had dedicated! :P First one was an 8mb ATI rage, then I got a new PC with an Nvidia 5750 PCX, then upgraded that to a 7600gst, then upgraded that to a 7900gt, then built a new PC with an 8800gt which I'm currently using. But yeah, I guess my first one was the rage, in my first ever computer! Had so many good times gaming on that computer.

Hi My first dedicated card was an STB 3DFX Voodoo 2 PCI. I later bought a

second one and SLIed them. A year later I changed the motherboard to AGP

and bought a Diamond Nvidia Riva TNT2 and also used the Voodoo 2s. So

I had 3 video cards running. I think it was around 2001.

Creative Blaster 3DFX Voodoo2 8mb PCI

This was back in '98 and I was so happy to get this card. I was finally able to run Quake 2 in all it's glory; man those were the days! I'm still playin' PC games nearly 11 years later and I still have myself a beast of a system. ;)

Diamond 3Dfx voodoo 2 16mb pci video card. Back when Unreal first came out. I remember that game was the CRYSIS of the day. I had to run it in a window to get it lag free. Had it in my Compac Micro tower with an AMD 266MHZ processer 128mb of ram and a 6GB hard drive.:P

Geforce 4 Ti for Mac. Except for 3D graphics apps, waste of money. I still couldn't run Halo properly.

Some kind of 2MB VESA card, I can't remember what brand.

My first "3D accelerator card" (those were the days) was a 3dfx Voodoo3 2000 16MB AGP.

:D Had something really similar for my first system it had a Celeron 800Mhz CPU and 64MB of RAM :o... had to install another 64MB and a MX440 to run quake engine games decently.
