Geforce 2 fx
I attempted to upgrade such a card and were suggested the Geforce FX 5200.
I was so hyped. After finally installing the games I always wanted to play I ad to realize: This passive cooled card supported DX9 on paper but its performance was worse.
It crushed me back then and since then I have never bought a desktop PC part ever again.
But then recently I was gifted an old rig from a friend. Put a Readon RX 6700 (or so) in it. So my first actual graphics card is this radeon!! :)
Buddy, if you read this: Thank you again, much love. You are an awesome beeing.
