ok here we go: in order of ownership, not all in same pc ( some in server )
Creative voodoo banshee 16 meg AGP ( good starter card )
Maxi gamer nVIDIA riva TNT2 ULTRA AGP 32MB ( rapid )
3dfx voodo 3 3000 AGP 16MB ( not bad )
Creative 3d anihalator pro Ge Force 256 32MB SDR AGP ( sweet )
Sparkle nVIDIA Geforce 2 GTS 32 MB DDR ( dissapointment )
ATI Rage Fury MAXX 64 meg SDR AGP ( very wank )
Chaintech nVIDIA Geforce 3 64mb DDR AGP ( quantum leap : also ran perfect @ ti-500 speed for 1 year till i sold it!!! )
3dfx voodoo banshee PCI ( for server as 2d card, unkonwn manufacturer )
MSI nVIDIA Geforce 4 ti 4800 128MB DDR AGP( good bundle )
Granmars ATI radeon 9700 NON pro 128MB DDR AGP( quite good )
S3 verge inbuilt into p4x266 via chipset ( bluur o vison )
powercolor ATI radeon 9800 128MB DDR AGP ( sweet )
BFG nVIDIA 6800GT o/c 256MB GDDR3 AGP ( AWESOME )

FAVEROIT CARD: Chaintech nVIDA Geforce 3 64mb DDR AGP. this card was something else. i thik what i like about it the most is the sheer jump in performance i got with it. befroe this card came out, 16bpp was the reality, nothing could run32Bpp at a decent speed / resolution. geforce 3 marked the start of the 32Bpp era, and max pain ran soooooooooooooooo nicly on it. also, 3 weeks after buiying the card the gf3 Titanium series came out, and this card overclocked 120% stable to the level of the new flagship, ti-500.l so upgrade for free. sweet

Trident thingy in my 286 (first VGA card)

Trident 1 MB Vesa Local Bus in my 486 DX2 66 (I was so proud when I bought this one, I did some garden work to pay for it)

Rendition Verité in my 200MMX (first 3d accelerated card, I played tomb raider for like 24 straight hours after installing it, admiring the amazing graphics hehe)

STB Velocity 4000 Riva TNT (16 MB) on a P2-450

TNT2 32 MB (can't remember the brand) on the same P2-450

Geforce 2 GTS on a P3-800

-1MB ISA Trident (cost me $90, upgrade on a 486sx, no soundcard, no cd-rom yet)
-S3 verge Build in on my Pentium 200MMX Packard Bell computer, ($1600, can't even play win95versions of C&C )
-Ati 3D expression + PC2TV PCI 4mb (cost $150, my first ATI card with TV-out, I was playing Half -life with this on a 200mmx system over the modem and i still got pretty good kills (top 3) still works, I can even tv-out divx on this thing in full screen)

Got out of gaming and computers for a couple of years, Dating, Girlfriend, Dances, Stuff, School, Work, College, etc, broke up,, single,, Consoles, modchips, cd-burners, psx copys, etc.)

-Diamond Viper2 32 mb AGP (Cost $100, it a pretty good card,, has tv-out of course, too bad there wasn't enough support on the drivers)

-ATI Radeon 64mb vivo AGP ( Cost $100, this is the begining of the Radeon, tv-out, video in)
-ATi RAdeon 8500 64mb ddr (Cost $200 from the super DELL deal, the begining of better Drivers)
-ATi Radeon 9800 pro 128mb (Cost $150, This was the KING, and will be my last AGP card)

All my ATI cards are Built-By-ATI

I always prefered ATI more than Nvidia, maybe cause ATI was my first gaming graphics card, it has better 2d then and still now but not as much, the coloring is better then and the same now, ATI make their own card so warrenty was easy. over all ATI seems to work better for my needs most of the time, which is muti-media. I never had once have problem with their drivers.


The Retail ATi Radeon 8500 is still faster than the current 9000, 9100, 9200se, 9200, 9600se. It's a pretty old card that is still doing pretty well. You can still have fun playing Half-life 2 with this baby, just not Doom 3. I got to say that was the best $200 I have ever spend on a Brand New top of the line card that was just released ( super dell deal) and things really start to move on ATI's side after it's release.

Maybe my next card will be Nvidia??? PCI-X??? or AGP-x?? Will AMD ever make a Graphics card?

Lol, I probably can't remember half the ones I have owned. Here are some though in something vaguely resembling chronological order going back to 1991 or so=

A bunch of Orchid and Diamond cards under 4 megs, some 1meg or less. And some STB VESA cards! lol
Some sort of 4 or 8meg ATI all in wonder card
Some sort of Diamond 8meg card
Some sort of Diamond 16meg card
A 16 or 32 meg Matrox G400
A Voodoo one with 4 or 8 megs
Two Voodoo2 12meg cards in SLI! At the time this was a major WOW. Originally paired with some sort of Diamond.
An ASUS GeForce 256 DDR. Another WOW for its time. Paired with the two Voodoo2's.
Some sort of GeForceMX
ATI 9800pro AIW (the current card in my main comp)

I am now starting to think about a 6800 Ultra. I am sure I forgot tons of cards I owned.

Voodoo1, I don't think I ever used it much except to make it run under FreeBSD.

2x Voodoo2 SLI, I think this is what got me through Quake2.

TNT2 for Half-Life.

Various Matrox G-400 and G-450, mainly for FreeBSD and Linux, but also for Combat Mission.

Voodoo3 PCI for secondary computer.

Radeon 8500 LE 128 MB.

GeForce Ti 4400 128 MB.

GeForce FX 5900XT just recently. Pretty nice but probably a bad choice with the 6600GT coming so short after.

%%

I also have a Voodoo 4 PCI which I never used (errr). It will probably be used to sniff around the OpenSource 3D drivers in X11/DRI, along with the Radeon 8500. The Voodoo probably works better.

Last but not least a FX 5200 PCI to do dual/tri-head with the GeForce TI in my Linux server. I should have used the Voodoo4 but I didn't have time to sort out the drivers and OpenGL libraries to support two different architecture cards at the same time. Might be fun to do that, but that machine is intended for permanent availability.
