What's your favorite video card?

[Smartazz]

It can be the geforce 2 or the 7800GTX 512, whatever was your favorite, not the best one.
Personally I loved the Geforce 2 back in the day, I used to play the sims on that from dawbn to dusk.

ATI AIW
The original It was innovative

The radeon 9700pro is my favorite because It still plays todays games at 1024*768 with medium settings and 8xAF. I don't have one, but that's still pretty impressive for a 4-year old card.

I agree :thumbsup:

Geforce 2 GTS by Leadtek when it first came out. I went from a tnt2 ultra to that and my eyes literally melted when I ran Citizen Kabuto.

Same answer, Voodoo Banshee

3dfx Voodoo 2. That card was amazing... And playing LG Quake was just beautiful at the time.

GF4 Ti4600. Lasted longer than any other video card I've ever owned for actual use. Partially thanks to the FX series being so awful.

OP i guess u should've just tried reviving the previous thread but oh well....

i'd say the mx440 cause that's what i have and it's the only non-integrated card i've had

 

[Maximilian]

Yay for the 9800 Pro!

 

[brownzilla786]

6600gt weeeee
First card i bought =D

 

[alcoholbob]

Radeon 9700 Pro. Good card for the last what...4 years? Price held stable for two STRAIGHT YEARS because nVidia couldn't put anything competitive against it. That's quality.

 

[NaOH]

I remember that. It was freaking nuts.

 

[WobbleWobble]

Kyro 2 - Even though it was under powered compared to the other cards, it was extremely efficient with its tile-based rendering eliminating overdraw

 

[matthekim]

6800 GT

[Heretik]

TNT2 Ultra

It was my first "high end" video card...

 

[imported_fx]

[x800gto2]- unlocked the pipelines from 12 -> 16 and overclocks. 550/590.

 

[Extelleron]

X1800XT. Can get some great deals on it right now, and it's more than enough for anybody (except people who play at insane resolutions like 2048x1536)

My fav too.
It was king of the hill when it came out, (rare for ATI). It stayed on top for a while.
Its DirectX9b compliant which means it can play most stuff nowadays, although it may be missing some shine on certain textures at certain times.
Most importantly, it has the sheer raw processing power to play newer games at reduced settings.

I gave it up for a 7800GT, but damn, that was by far my most satisfying experience in computing.

EDIT: I know may fanboys of the Kyro 2 as well.
Shame we havent seen more third parties lately.
Trident was supposed to put out some 3D cards a while ago. WTF happened?

 

[Ultralight]

Diamond Viper 32 770 TNT 32 meg non-ultra. What a great, stable card.

 

[n7]

Yeah, this thread was done merely days ago in video.

But anyway, my fave was my 9800 Pro.
