I was thinking the other day that I've had quite a few video cards in my time, so I took a few minutes and wrote them all down. Pretty complete list I think. I can't remember in the very way back, that whole Trident/Tseng Labs period is a little fuzzy now. I think the 9700 Pro was the longest lived - heck of a card. I seem to have developed a penchant for EVGA there at the end.
Timelines a little murky on this part:
Some kind of Trident chip
Tseng ET3000
Tseng ET4000
Some kind of Vesa Local Bus card
From here out it is solid:
Matrox Millenium
Matrox Mystique
3dfx Voodoo 1 (Diamond Monster 3D)
3dfx Voodoo 2 (Diamond Monster 3d II) (actually 2 of them in SLI)
Nvidia Riva TNT (Diamond Viper V550)
Nvidia Riva TNT2 (Diamond Viper V770)
Nvidia GeForce 256 DDR
Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS
Nvidia GeForce 3
Nvidia GeForce 3 Ti 500
Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti 4200
Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti 4600
Ati Radeon 9700 Pro (Ati)
Ati Radeon 9800XT (Gexcube)
Nvidia 6800GT (EVGA)
Nvidia 7800GT (EVGA)
Nvidia 7800GTX
Radeon X1900XT (Sapphire)
Nvidia 8800GTS 640 (EVGA)
Nvidia 8800GTS 512 (EVGA)
Nvidia GTX 260 (EVGA)
Anyone got a similar list?
