    I have no idea what i had in my earliest PCs, but the first 3d graphics card was the 3dfx Orchid Righteous 3d.

    I believe I had the Riva tnt2. After that upgrading to the original GeForce 256. Was on my Intel Celeron 300A that you could overclock to a whopping 450mhz!

    I had an ATI all in wonder 9600. That card was very unique because it also had a built in TV tuner and AV capture card that could turn your PC into a DVR of sorts. It went into an agp slot before PCIe was a thing.

    My dad got us a voodoo FX banshee on our home computer back in the day. I guess the first one I personally bother would have been a GTX 970

    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.

      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

    The first I bought for myself was a PNY XLR8 GeForce GTS 250 in 2010. It tided me over for 4 years, until my power supply gave a loud POP, and I replaced pretty much the whole build just in case the other parts were damaged (or caused the damage).
