What was your first video card?

Hey now, don't be dissin' Trident too much their youngster. Some of us can remember when in the 386 days, the 1MB Trident was the card to have, and the only one that'd do 256 colors at 1024x768 for a reasonable price.

Course, if you had big bucks you had a Tseng ET4000 based card for incredible DOS acceleration, or an Orchid Prodesigner II, or a Western Digital Paradise chipset card like the Diamond Speedstar HiColor.

Wait...did you RMA that 6800? Cause, going from a 6800 to a 6600 doesn't seem to smart...
 
the good ol voodoo banshee.... used it til warcraft 3 came out... been upgrading every few months since
 
My first REAL card was a Diamond Monster VooDoo II 12MB.
I got it the day that FF7 came out for the PC and slammed that bad boy into my P166.

Before that I had some unknown stuff in my old 386.
 
My first? Some kind of 2 meg PCI Trident card. It made TNFS run hella fast on my Cyrix.

After that it was a Rendition Verite v2100. Some version of the Diamond Stealth. That 4 meg beast was actually quite a card for the money.
