Which cards have you owned?

[cetoole]

Wow, looks like I am a n00b here, I have only had two, and didn't like either. The cards are:
nVidia TNT2
BBA 9600 Pro, can't (yet) do xt core speeds even with vgpu, vmem, and fdd mods, I just need to cool it more. I wish I got one of those 750/700 cards. Anyone want to trade me a 9800 or something, this is a much faster card .

onboard geforce2 - 6/10 - ok for older games, but sucked for anything recent

radeon 9000 - 8/10 - noticed a big difference between onboard and this. only had it for a couple of days though, cuz i got...

radeon 9600np - 9/10 - ... as a gift. i likes it. no noise and it plays alot of recent games well.

i want a 6600GT next probably

 

[Yamiyanazz]

I can't remember full and well the first computer, but here is what I can remember.



1MB ATI PCI card....can't remember much past that.

32MB intel extreme graphics (on an eMachines)

8MB integrated ATI Rage Pro 128 ---- yeah, it was a step down, but this was when I got my own computer...no more sharing with parents It was accompanied with an AMD K6-2 350MHz.

ATI Radeon 9200 non-se ---- this is when I got my AMD 2500+. I must say that card held up mighty well for it's price.

Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800 Pro ---- what a step up. Still using it and lovin it.

GeForce3 ---- only borrowing it from a friend to use in my little bro's setup with his 1700+. decent card...

 

[HousERaT]

ATI Rage Pro 32 AIW
Geforce 4 mx440
ATI AIW 8500DV
ATI 9700Pro
ATI 9800Pro
ATI X300SE

I still have all of them except the first one.

 

[tyrant222]

ok here is mine

some s3 trio crap
Voodoo 3 (3000 i believe)
Radeon 8500
geforce 4200
radeon 9700
Currently: geforce 6800 Ultra

I truly enjoyed all of the cards. they allowed me to play at really nice settings for their time.

Humm lets see here.

Rage 128
Radeon 7000
Radeon 8500LE
Radeon 8500
Radeon 8500 AIW 128mb
Radeon 9500np
Radeon 9800p
Radeon 9800np

Gainward ti4200
Gainward ti4200
eVGA 6600GT
Vistiontek GF3
Vistiontek ti4200 128mb
Albatron 6800GT
eVGA 6800 LimEd
Chaintech fx5500
Gainward gf4 mx460

Im sure there are a ton of others that I am forgetting. My favorite card has to be the 9500np, that thing flys, but my 6800s kill it. Speed/$ the 9500 all the way.

 

[A1Killer]

ati 9600pro 128meg 9/10 first card pretty darn good overclocker and lasted 3 years lol

new ati9800pro coming will edit after i set it up

 

[Sliver]

Nvidia Geforce 4MX 440 7/10 it wasn't anything to write home about but it got the job done. I was able to play all my games, and get decent framerates doing it (provided I lowered the graphics settings.)

ATI 9800 pro 10/10 now that I have this card, my CPU and RAM are what's bottlenecking my system. It'll take anything I throw at it and eat it alive.

 

[firebat45]

lol i got serious about computers 10 years ago, but ive only had money for the last 3 years, so here's my list

ATI Rage 4 MB integrated 2/10 worked fine when i had it, but wouldn't let me upgrade, had to buy a whole new mobo. (needed it anyway)
ATI AIW ???? 4 MB PCI 5/10 Got it free, it was old, but VIVO rocks!
ATI AIW 7500 64 MB PCI 7/10, attempted upgrade to old ATI, ended up in a system with an AGP slot, that ****ed me off.
XFX 5200 128MB 8/10 Not my main computer, so it is ok for what it does.
ATI AIW 9600 XT 128 MB 9/10 I only wish it could run HL2 and Doom 3 max details. 10/10 for price, got it for $150 off, Futureshop boxing week sales, it was cheaper then than it is now

If you hadn't noticed, I have become addicted to the AIW series, IMO they are excellent.

PS Remote Wonder Generation 2 is exponentially better than Generation 1.

Lets see...

Voodoo2- 5/10 It was ok, but I was expecting much more.

Voodoo3- 10/10 It is my favorite because of the compatibility with it. It is easily the best card I have ever owned as far as compatibility goes, you dont have to worry about cleaning drivers an what not with it, just plug it in ang go. RIP 3DFX

GeForce2- 8/10 It was an amazing performance increase from the old voodoo3.

Geforce4 4200- 5/10 I have to say I was not impressed with this card much, I went through 3 or 4 of them and they all died within a month or two,with no overclocking.

Radeon 9700- 8/10 Such a great increase in performance over the 4200, and the first time you could really use the aa/af.

Radeon 9800- 7/10 Same as my 9700, but started showing its age in newer games.

X800XL- 10/10 This is my current card, and I dont think I have ever been happier besides my Voodoo. Great performance @ stock, not much oc'ing room, but still a great performer at a great price.

Time to resurect an old thread me thinks.....

Lets see if i can remember all the vid cards I have owned.

1. Trident 1mb ISA video card - Very first videocard i ever bought - played doom really well - my rating at that time would have probably been 10/10 but right now it would have to be 0/10

2. 2Mb Number9 Graphics - Vesa bus video card - had some 3d support, Played Duke Nukem3d with everything maxed out - 1/10

3. S3 GX-PCI 2mb - PCI Bus graphics - Was just enough to play Half-life with everything turned down to the lowest settings on a K6-2 333 - 1/10

4. S3 Virge 4Mb PCI bus graphics- Allowed me to turned Halflife up to 640x480 with a few things turned on - 2/10 (2 only because i still own one of these and came in handy for an old school DOS gaming box)

5. Voodoo3 2000 PCI - 16Mb video card - At the time i bought that i was running a K6-2 450 couldnt find a game i couldnt play - allowed me to play Quake3 at 1024x768 2/10

6. Voodoo3 3500-TV - 16Mb AGP Video card - Was first AGP video card on my very first ATX Motherboard running with a Duron 600 - Capable of playing Unreal Tournament with a few things turned on but res down to 640x480. 3/10

7. Voodoo4 4500 - 32MB AGP video card - Coupled with my Duron 600 OCed to 850 was able to play UT99 at 800x600 with medium graphics settings. - 4/10

8. Voodoo5 5500 - 64Mb AGP Video Card - Again Coupled with my Duron600 OCed to 850 was first video card that needed its own power - Played UT99 at 800x600 Max settings and 1024x768 medium settings, Was my best card for playing Tribes - 5/10

9. Geforce2 MX400 - 32Mb PCI video card - Cheap video card ran out of money when building a 1700+ rig - Could play all my major games turned up all the way - First video card i ever overclocked. - 5/10

10. Geforce 4 MX440 - 32MB AGP Video Card - Cheap AGP VIdeo card to replace Geforce2 - Allowed me to play UT2k3 somewhat, - 5/10

11. Geforce 3 TI200 - 64MB AGP Video Card - Traded my Gefore 4 MX440 and some money for this - Allowed me to play UT2k3 quite a bit better, could play Medla of honor and a lot of my other games me and my friends played at lan parties. - 6/10

12. Geforce 6600GT - 128MB AGP Video Card - First video card I had to upgrade the cooler on to get to be stable at stock speeds. Card still plays pretty much all games out there, Sold this just about 3 months ago. 7/10

13. Geforce 7800GT - 256MB PCI-E Video Card - Great performing video card couldn't seem to slow it down much in many of my games - Sent this in for the EVGA Step-up Program and Stepped up to a 7900GT. 9/10

 

[BPM]

I've rated them all based on how they performed with what I had at the time.

nVidia RIVA TNT2 (32mb) - 4

Albatron nVidia FX 5200 (64mb) - 5

BBA Radeon 9800 Pro (128mb) - 7

Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO (16 pipes, 256mb) - 8

I don't think I'll ever own a 10 because they cost too damn much.
