    It was some on board gpu with my super amazing AMD K6-2, it couldn’t even run mega man X without chugging. Then a friend gave me an S3 Virge with a glorious 4mb vram.

    I don’t know what hardware my first computer had because I didn’t even know what a GPU was at the time… But the first GPU I ever bought was the 8600 GT.

    evga GTX 770 It never died Replaced it with an evga GTX1080 it blew up 2 months out of warranty. they sent me rtx 2070 despite the warranty(MISS YOU EVGA). I gave that card to my wife and upgraded to a 3080 from aorus.
    the card is great, but the software that comes with the card is beyond awful. I will probably get an Asus next time.

    I forgot the first one, but I remember I upgraded it to an ATi Rage Pro so I could play Baldur’s Gate, which needed 8 megabytes of video ram. Later I paired it with a Voodoo 2. I think it was the Diamond Monster one. And that one got replaced with a Matrox G200, which got replaced with Kyro II. I picked some odd cards back then.

    I think I had a Voodoo 3 at some point. Then a Voodoo 5 at the family PC.

    Then on my own PCs Radeon 1900Xt -> radeon 4780 -> radeon 7770 -> radeon 480 -> rtx 2070 super.

    The first one I got was some integrated cirrus logics chip that didn’t even have 3d acceleration. The first one I bought with my own money was a GeForce 7800GT in late 2005

    Trident VGA?

    I got a 3DFX voodoo as soon as they came out. GL quake was mind-blowing.

    I bought a Riva TNT

    Then a GeForce 2

    Then a Radeon 9000

    Then for a bunch of years I just moved into laptop after laptop with discrete GPUs.

    Now I still have a 1080 and a 2070 doing a little bit of light AI work and video transcoding for me. But I’m still relying on crappy laptop GPUs for all my gaming. They’re good enough.

      I got a 3Dfx from a computer fair in Liverpool just so I could play Quake 2 CTF, it was absolutely mind blowing not even an understatement.

    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…
