>>51234569
If we are going by the first PC that was mine then this.
I can't remember where that PC even went. Still have the HDD for some reason.

I hope you feel plebeian too.
>>51234569
Back then I wasn't autistic enough to memorize my card's model like some fucking nerd.
Now I am.
>ATi Radeon 7000
Served me for many years of GTA VC and CS 1.6.
>>51235864
>128mb SDRAM
why?
>>51234569
>>51238073
because that was a typical amount of RAM for that era?

silent and efficient, still works since 7 years
>>51238142
64 was though?
>>51238176
128 MB back then was like 32 GB now, simply overkill.
>>51234569
first bought: ATI x800
first owned: Radeon 7500

This.
Alongside the rainbow runner TV-out card.

This is the first one I can remember at least, had a computer before that but was way too young to even care.
4MB or 2MB of VRAM, can't remember
>>51234569
Fuck, I had the same one!
1MB of memory, was it not?
>>51234740
This.
>>51238131
Wait... I've seen GF2MX cards, and they usually have a cooler. What is this shit?
Geforce 3, handmedown from a buddy, I was amazed at how much better framerates I got in Anarchy Online compared to my onboard gfx
>>51238398
FX5200, my first dedicated card
First GPU was some Matrox onboard shit I think
>>51238764
Nice, but we're not counting integrated graphics.
Diamond Monster 3D 3dfx Voodoo1 4MB PCI
No pic but my first was a 8 mb trident. Didn't even have 3d capabilities
>>51240136
Worst card I ever owned in my life. Cheap made in china piece of shite. It ruined my fucking motherboard cause it had a faulty circuit on it.

Still in use, 270X. Didn't join the PC mustard rice until the early 2010's, if my memory serves me correctly.
This bad boy in my 25MHz 486 DX with 24MB of RAM!
>>51238357
>>51238131
Idk, thIs one was my first graphics card
>>51240185
Lol that card came out in very late 2013
>>51240185

Nigga
>>51240243
>>51240276
I was thinking about when I built the PC itself, which WAS early 2010's, I just checked the old receipt I still have laying around. The 270X came in much later.
>tfw didn't have a GPU in my righ for like 3 years because poor third worlder and trying to save up in money that gets eaten by insane inflation
>playing BF3 on Intel HD3000
6600GT
I forget the brand (I don't even think they are around anymore), but I bought it mostly to play WoW, Doom 3, and mainly Half Life 2. Did a pretty good job, I do not regret buying it at all as a starter card.
Should i get a 680 or two, (4gb version) or shoupd i get the 960 ot low end 970?

>>51240297
Intel HD Graphics 3000 didn't even support DX11, which is required to run BF3. I think you're bullshitting.
im young, ran a 2003 toshiba laptop up until 2010
>>51235886
Thanks for the blog
>>51238305
HAHAHAHA fag
Got this piece of shit to play Battlefield 2.
>>51240434
fugg
this right here
>>51234569
first card I bought was a 6870
I used an old desktop around 1995 that had god knows what GPU in there, I remember it was able to run RA2 just fine but the fps for C&C generals and warcraft 3 was in the single digits.
Christmas present so I could play EQ on my own computer...
GTX 770 Zotac AMP! 2GB
(I did buy a used Radeon HD 7770 for real cheap until I could save up for the GTX 770)
[spoiler]I used laptops for my whole life
>>51240390
I ran bf4 on my gtx 260 before upgrading...
>>51235886
This.
All I remember is a 256mb vga card and being obsessed with w95 and win me.
I was so tech illiterate it's cringeworthy, but my family has a pc shop so I've always been well supplied.
Asked my dad the other day, he said my first cpu was a 486.
>>51238176
>>51238224
>tfw I had 192MB of SDR
2x EvilKing Voodoo2 (one was the 8MB though).
Pentium II 233MHz (jumper overclocked to 240MHz).
First card I remember I had was the ATi Rage II+DVD PCI.
Previous was just some QVGA rendering chip.
>>51240513
I had this, it could barely handle a map full of zerglings on SC.
The MOS VIC.
Sorry I'm old.
>>51241187
Imagine it when you make 994 overlords (1000 unit cap, larva eats up 5).
Use a queen as a main target for overlords to follow so they group together, then fly the overlord over to the enemy where they shoot it.
Watch the overlords spread out through the whole frigging map making it impossible for other players to target specific ground units and buildings.
Riva TNT2 32MB PCI Goodness.
>>51241221
It was my fourth card.
>Finally getting to hit High on Monolith game launchers like Shogo and Alien vs Predator 2 without any concern.
Not like it had any difference since my Voodoo SLI setup was too much for games even back then. :^)
ATI radeon x300, came with my gateway but could play all the stuff I played as a kid so it didn't bother me. If we are talking first graphics cards we actually bought separate it was a HD 6770. Good little card for 100$

>You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18.
The first graphic card I got in my first PC was an Ati radeon 9200SE, but the first one I bought as an upgrade to a GT530 was a 560Ti
I don't remember the first one. It was some cheap VESA Local Bus card in 486 box.
My second one was S3 Trio64 (PCI) in p120 machine.
Both only had 1 MB on board.
First one. Never used it in a build though sold it b4 I could. If not the Zotac GTX 970 is my first GPU
I remember being so smug about the fact that I didn't get the ti4400 like some normie, and paid extra for the ti4600.
660
AMD 4670 HD. Sadly, I'm still using it.
AGA chipset.
>>51240338
That is one sexy turbine
The first dedicated card that I remember buying was an MSI Radeon 9250. All my 9x machines were prebuilts. One had a 3dfx card in it.
