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.

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.

I remember when the EGAs came about. Damn, it was like stepping into the future. But I didn’t have a color monitor so it didn’t matter. I was probably more envious than your friend.
