What was your first 3D card?

[CrazyRyan]

Was just thinking about my old monster fusion I had back in the day, you know your first accelerator is like your first car, you never seem
to forget how fast they went!

P.S. I know I left out quite a few just let me know if yours isn't on the list and I'll add it

My first was a Diamond Stealth 4 mb card with a Monster 4 mb add on card.

I went from a 2mb POS non accelerated card to a Diamond Viper V770 TNT2 Ultra 32mb.

QUITE a difference.

 

[GonzoDaGr8]

First 3D card was a Matrox Mystique 2Mb PCI deal..First REAL 3D card was Voodoo3 3000 16MB AGP. Damn that was a good card

 

[Rallispec]

4mb nvidia tnt (might have been 8mb)

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

None of the above - I had the Diamond EDGE... Complete POS w/ Saturn controllers.

What chip was that?

 

[littlezipp]

ATI Rage

 

[Brutuskend]

Mine was a Diamond Monster as I recall.

[Imported]

Riva 128.. :Q I still remember playing Motoracer 2 for the first time.

 

[bunker]

4mb Matrox Millenium II

Which isn't in your poll.

 

[LastStop]

12mb Diamond Monster II (voodoo2). I still use it in one of my computers to play CS . Works pretty good too.

 

[Electrode]

Voodoo2 12 meg

I went into the local computer shop, asking what the deal was with this "3D Acceleration" I had heard mention of. One of the people there showed me Quake 2 on a Voodoo, and I was literally speechless. :Q

I later got a TNT2 TM64 (or whatever the low-end one was called), and then a Voodoo 5 5500, and then a GeForce 3, which I am using now. I have no plans to upgrade until something significant comes along, with PERFECT Linux drivers. The only reason I didn't get a Radeon 8500 is because I didn't know (and still don't) what kind of Linux support, if any, is available.

 

[Viper GTS]

You've left off a LOT of chipsets.

Mine was a Rendition Verite V1000.

Woohoo, Verite Quake!

Viper GTS

 

[joohang]

Oops. I picked Matrox G400 (I got a G450) but I should've chosen ATi Rage II.

BTW, your poll assumes no room for n00bs.

 

[helpme]

Voodoo2 8meg. It was still working until about 8 months ago in my brothers computer.
