For me the most expensive video card was the Newtek Video Toaster 4000.
I paid $2,500 for the card in 1993 and had to upgrade my Amiga 3000 with more ram and a second hard drive
since the software was about 100MB and my main drive was only a 120MB.
So I bought a 345MB Maxtor for $345 and 8MB of Ram for $300 for a grand total of $3,145 in 1993.
I didn't even own a car at the time, but I had a $7,000 computer, lol.
When I bought the GTX980 for $560 14 months ago, I was thinking. damn, that is kind of expensive.
I guess now that I am older I look at money differently, especially since I don't have any anymore, lol
