HAW, HAW! </nelson>

If you went to a 9800XT, why did you have a MX420? I'm guessing that was just a temporary card...

Probably my biggest jump was from a Paradise Tasmania 3D (Yamaha RPA2, useless 3D) to a Diamond Stealth S220 (Rendition V2100, fairly decent 3D at the time... especially overclocked). :p Second would be from a GF3 Ti200 to a GF4 Ti4200 o/c to Ti4600 speeds.

You should have waited for the NV40 or R420.

Then you could have some really really impressive 500% gains.
 
Two jumps if it could be called that. ;)

First was an 8MB Trident (PCI) to 16MB TNT2 Riva and them from the TNT2 to a 64MB GeForce 2 Ultra (Elsa Gladiac).

Attempted upgrading to a 5200FX recently, but returned it as price vs. performance wasn't worth the upgrade compared to my GF2. :eek:
 
You guys are running some nice Video Cards!! Well, here is my timeline.

GeForce 2 MX400 - GeForce 4 MX440 - Radeon 9000 Pro - GeForce 4 Ti4600
 
Diamond Viper 550 (played quake 1 for 8 years on this card) to
Pny GF3 TI200 to MSI GF4 TI4200 to BBA 9800xt
 
no real super large jumps.

Started with a ATI mach 64 (for 2d) and a Canopus Pure 3dLX (voodoo 1 w/6mb's of ram) then I jumped to a Rivia TNT (that was a large noticable jump) then went to a Geforce DDR (another nice jump) Then to a Radeon 9000Pro, and then to what I have now, AIW 9800pro (about on par of a diffrence from what I noticed going from the voodoo to the TNT)

so
1) Canopus voodoo 1 w/ATI mach 64 (2d)
2) Rivia Tnt
3) Elsa Geforce DDR
4) ATI Radeon 9000pro
5) ATI AIW Radeon 9800pro
 
A few months back during that CC deal I went from a 32 MB GeForce2 MX -> Radeon 9800 Pro.

So far it's been 1 MB Ati Mach 64 -> Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 -> TNT2 -> GeForce 2 -> Radeon 9800 Pro

Keep in mind that in that time, my computer has also jumped from an AST Pentium 133 with 16 Megs to an Athlon 2500+. :D
 
Avance Logic AV24 to a Tseng Labs ET6000 and Diamond Monster3D Voodoo1. Back when Quake1 was the ONLY game that even used a 3d card, and that was with a mini-driver, remember those? If I remember right, this was in 96, or early 97.

My next jump will be a big one.. From a GeForce 3 to whatever I need when HL2 and Doom3 are out. (guessing a 9800 at this point)

A Geforce 2 mx200 32mb card to a Radeon 9700 Pro. And that was the best move I ever made; I could FINALLY game. The previous card I had to work from was an ATi rage mobility 8mb card on a laptop (I think it was based on the mach 64), that I got in '99
 
Biggest jump, adding in a Monster 3D card to my 4 Meg Matrox Millenium so I could play GL Quake.
 
onboard intel graphics(from year 2000, dunno the version) to a radeon 7000 PCI(64MB ddr, wasnt a big jump:rolleyes: ) to a Asus radeon 9600XT(helluva jump!)
 
GeForce 2 MX to Radeon 9600XT. A week later and I have a Radeon 9800 Pro on order :)
 
Cirrus Logic 4mb pci to Diamond Stealth Savage 4 32mb agp :eek:

Impressed with unreal running in "metal" ;)

OldMX
 
geforce 2 to geforce 4 ti4200...also the only video card jump i ever made ;x
 
The 11mb shared integrated "intel extreme graphics" of my old computer, to my current 128mb ti4200 card. Let's just say the frame rates have improved a little. :p
