Bored. Sorry. :D
 
I wish I had the will power to hold onto a video card for 3 years...

Stealth S540 $100?
Radeon 64MB VIVO $180?
AIW Radeon 8500 128MB $167 (it was a mistake, ordered the regular 64MB)
Geforce Ti 4600 128MB $327
Radeon 9700 128MB uh... $230? don't remember
Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB $265

Just ordered XFX Geforce 6800GT 256MB $380

Ouch...
 
why do you guys post such sad stories, I'm tearing up now :(



not really but yea :D
 
hehe i had a geforce 1 GTS for the longest time. It was the shit on the block. Overclocked it to pure bliss..and owned in CS w00t :D
 
sniff sniff!....i feel ur sorow...dont loose hope man!!! you can get a new card..and better card!!...its time to move on.. but its sad to part ways with friends you lived with for 3 years...sniff!! :(



:p
 
mmm ....

my old intel board with integrated 8mb graphics, then -
tnt2 32mb card, 20$ used from a friend, then -
geforce 4 ti4600 (gainward golden sample) - new @ $338

i had no problem replacing that intel bit, but i felt like i was letting down my tnt2 ... all the history we had together, playing quake 2 for the first time and actually being able to use hardware acceleration .. it was a big moment, i don't think my intel supported openGL (or direct 3d for that matter)
 
My first non-onboard vid card was the Voodoo Banshee 16 MB...

That was my baby...

But then it was tossed for the GeForce 2 MX400 32 MB

That made me feel m00ch bettar
 
STB Velocity 128bit paired with 2 voodoo2's ($dont really remember)
Voodoo3 3000 ($199) - i think
Voodoo5 5500 ($299) - i think
Gainward GeForce3 Ti200 ($150)
Gainward GeForce4 Ti4200 ($179)
Gainward GeForce 5900 ($209)
BFG 6800 GTOC ($399)

I miss them all :(
 
Oh you cruel [H]earted bad bad person!
After all it gave to you, those long [H]ot [H]ours of nonstop OvClking, pushing electrons faster then they should go!
[H]ave you no soul Man?
After a little reflection.....I know your pain, been there numerous times, It gets easyer every time
.throw the chump card out!

Ahh get over it and get ye a 6800 GT :D
 
How in the hell did you play games on that thing until now? My 5 year old bitched until I put a 9500pro in his machine! I wouldn't play farcry until I got my 6800gt, I refused to play the game without it's glory.

My first was a voodoo 3.. had a 3000 for a while, then a 2000(brother in law got em for me, the 3000 was apparently to expensive for me to keep).
Then I got a geforce2mx, was ok.. then got a 8500 and wupped some ass.
And now im gonna buy me a 2nd gen Dx9 card.. it all depends on price.
 
I had the TNT2 Riva, then switched to the Voodoo3 3000, then onto ATI Rage128, then went to a Geforce 2 mx440, then onto Geforce 4 ti4200, then to a 9500pro for about a day, sold that and went back to ti4200 for awhile then got the 9800pro.

I was cpu limited at the time I got my 9500pro and didnt see a improvement in speed over my ti4200..

and even though the gf2 was the mx series, I played most of my games in high res..i had my mx overclocked with ram coolers on it..it was great.
 
back in the day I first had a Intel intergrated graphics in my emachines mobo with amazing 4mb memory WOOT!!!, then I went on to a tnt2 32mb card, then lfe got better and then came the GeforcFX 128mb 5200 which OCed decently, then a 9600XT wow when I first got that I thought I was on top of the world, after it was with a 9800 Pro 128mb which served me well. Now I'm on top of the world again with x800XT. Longs way huh :D :D
 
My condolances.
Same feelings when I had to bury my 12meg Voodoo2 :)
 
hey there Lunt *places hand on shoulder* their comes a time in every gamers life... well. when you just have to say goodbye. You see cards get old and die like grandmas and grandpas. but sometimes its a good thing cause you can sell there stuff and get some cash. *starts the shoulder power squize* so be strong now and just sell that old run down card and getcha a new one. Do for grandma and grandpa.

Wow pure poetry!
God..... I love this place :D
 
ATi Rage PRO 4mb ---> Voodoo 3 3000 AGP ---> Geforce 256 (POS) ---> Matrox G400 DH 32 SGRAM (I loved this card) ---> ATi Radeon 9200 128mb AGP ---> ATi Radeon 9800 PRO 128mb :)
 
Who needs a virtual hug? Eh? I still have my original VoodooRush. Kinda feels like I have my grandpas corpse in the basement. Just...can't...let...it...go........
 
I still reminisce about my old Creative Labs 3D Blaster PCI (Rendtion Verite V1000). That card showed me the wonders of anti-aliasing with vQuake! Got it from a friend for $100 Canadian because he decided to buy a Voodoo!
 
Geforce 2's never die...they are happy to retire to a e-mail box for grandma, server box etc..
 
Wow it's amazing how a life is measured by the video cards we've owned ;)

My first was an STB 3D "velocity" 2mb
Upgraded to a Diamond Viper V330 Riva 128 ..also 4mb
ATI Rage 128 32mb

ok, i think you win :D but how many of them do you still have?
 
SiS 620 integrated 2MB -> 3D Prophet 4000XT 32MB PCI (Kyro chipset, god I wuv that chip) -> Intel Integrated on an 845G (family comp) -> My comp + 9700PRO
 
4 meg trident
8 meg Monster3D piggy backed on aforementioned trident
16 meg ATI Rage 128
16 meg Voodoo3
64 meg GeForce3 ti200
128 meg 6800

Only card I still have is the GF3, I'll never let it go. Longest lasting card ever.
 
Onboard
-VIC20
-Commodore 64
-Then some IBM PC that weighs a ton and acts like a doorstop now
ATI 3DRageII
Voodoo
Rendition Verite
Voodoo2
Canopus Spectra TNT
Geforce
Geforce 3 (Engineering Sample hehe)
Geforce 3
*****dark period*****
ATI 9200SE
5200FX
*****dark period*****
9600Pro
6800GT

The spectra was still in operation till 2004 until the 6800GT came in. Was living off the Geforce 3 as I couldn't afford better at the time. Both Geforce 3 are in operation still in a PIII1Ghz box and the other in a AMD [email protected] (which plays doom 3 quite well at 640x480), but the longest living card has to be the 3drageII as that's in my garage in a pc controlling the x-mas lights and patio lights. Go PCI!!!

so what difference were there between the g3 eng. sample and the retail one? was it just one of the first actual builds?
 
Voodoo 1
Stealth III S540
Viper II
GeForce SDR
GeForce 2 GTS
GeForce 3
Radeon 9800 PRO

All cards that I owned. Cards I had for a while for testing include a GeForce DDR, PowerColor Kyro II, GeForce2 Pro or whatever the lower level below GTS was, and a few more GeForce cards thrown in.

only 5

geforce2mx goes in my mp3 server that is wired to my house, pool, and garage.

geforce3 is in my dedicated server for LANs.

Ati 9500pro, is in my 5 year old's computer.

Ati 9800pro is in my 10 year olds computer.

6800gt is in mine :cool:
 
Matrox Graphics 2mb Ed. (upgraded to 4mb ohhh yeah)-> aTi Magnum -> aTi Rage Fury Maxx (unholy bonding of dual Rage 128s = drool) -> Geforce2 MX400 (it was House Brand :mad:) -> Radeon 8500 (made by Apollo :( ) -> Sapphire Radeon 9600XT 256Mb Ed. :D

Oh man, there was something about running a P3 1Ghz, 512mb RAM and a Radeon 8500 when people were just starting to use P3s. Cut forwards to when P4s come out. I'm was still on the 1ghz. :(
 
I sure miss my card :( , it was the best in its day

NEVER EVER forget that the GF2ti (and it's close siblings GF2Pro/Ultra/GTS.... oh okay, and it's "other" siblings, the "true" GF4MX's) was THE card that could handle RTCW @ 12x10... when I first saw RTCW @ 12x10 on a 19" monitor... uhh, I was like "uhh, I gotta go to teh bafroom :p:p"
 
Well, I still *technically* own 200 3DFX shares, bought about a year before they went under. Just got a statement from Ameritech, 200 shares @ ~ .01 cent (!!) per share LOL

Lets see...

Viper 550 TNT was first
Voodoo 2 8mb, then sold, to get 2 12 mb for SLI :)
Voodoo 3 3000
voodoo 4, gave away quickly
Voodoo 5 5500 agp, twin blorbs
TNT2
TNT2 ultra (I miss Creative video cards :) )
Geforce SDR
GeForce DDR (first card I popped: removed heatsink and didnt get it back on right)
Geforce 2 Elsa GTS
Geforce 3 Ti200
Geforce3 Ti500
Geforce4 ti 4400
Radeon 64mb VIVO - the frst one
Radeon 9700 pro
Geforce 6800GT
 
Cirus Logic 2 Meg
ATi Rage Pro 2 Meg
ATi Xpert 98
Maxi-Gamer Voodoo 2
Evga Geforce 2MX 32 Meg
GeForce 3 64 Meg
(Current) Gefore 4200ti 128 Meg
 
The worst thing is that they get more expensive every time i buy new one :)
My voodoo 1 was 75$
My gf2 mx was 100$
gf3 costed me 150$
and 9700np for 250$
I start to be afraid how much next one will cost :D
 
Price difference:
$25 -> $50 -> $100
Therefore your next purchase should be around $450.


My line:
1. S3 Trio 64V+ w/4MB (yea baby)
2. Creative TNT2 w/32MB
3. Inno3D GeForce4 Ti4200 w/64MB (non-OCed, but lived for less than 2 years)
4. Grandmars ATI 9800NP w/128MB

Oh yea, screw Inno3D!
 
onboard-- > Trident 4mb -- > Voodoo2 12mb ---> Geforce 256 ---> Geforce 2 GTS 64mb ----> Radeon 9700pro ---> 9800pro
 
old cards in older computers -> Diamond FireGL 1000 Pro -> Diamond Monster Fusion -> Diamond Viper V770 Ultra -> Voodoo 3 3000 -> ATI Radeon 7500

I'm currently in the market for a GeForce 6800 or 6800GT :) Too bad Diamond stopped making video cards because it was a fine company.
