I’m amazed at how many people remember the hardware they purchased 30 years ago.
If you hold onto your cards for 6-7 years, that’s only around 5 cards.
Mine goes:
- RTX 4070
- GTX 1080
- GFX 5200 (I think?)
- (The Playstation 2 years)
- (The Playstation years)
- 3dfx Voodoo
3dfx voodoo 3 3000, with its whopping 16MB of VRAM.
It ran Unreal Tournament like a charm. Playing CTF on dialup though was not always great though…
It was a shiny EGA card.
On an 8-bit ISA bus, with a whopping 64kB of VRAM. It could display an amazing 16 colours on one screen.
My friend who had a CGA card was so jelly with his four eye-soaring neon colours.
If we’re talking accelerated graphics, I bought a voodoo 2 with 8mb of RAM which linked up to my ATI Mach 64 2d-card.
Nvidia Riva TNT, because the onboard graphics were only going to play EverQuest (beta) and Rogue Squadron like a painful slideshow, if at all.
Voodoo 2 baybeeee
