posting in the video card upgrade ladder made me realise, some people keep a lot of their old cards around, others (me) just buy a few "backup" cards, to fuck around with, or whatever

so im curious, how much cards, and what types do all you people have in the closet, a spare rig, or just lying on your desk?

My list:

eVGA 8800 GTS 320 (Main rig)
Asus n6800 pci-e 256mb (backup card, sometimes in server rig)

and comming to my doorstep soon:

Asus 6600GT PCI-e 128 mb

everything with stock cooler and stock clocks, but ive got some nastiness in mind for the 6600GT when it gets here, if i actually can spare the time, volts will be modded, clocks will be upped, and ill make my 6800 cry :p

so go on, post your current stash, pics are welcome too, for nostalgic value (god i love the look of those classic GF4 Ti cards)
 
Voodoo 2, Voodoo 3, GF2, Radeon 7000, GF3, Ti4200, 9800XT, 6800Ultra, 7800GS, X1900XT, 8800GTX.

I usually pass my cards on to the G/F when I upgrade, so I haven't bothered re-selling many over the years :).
 
8800GTS 640, 2x 7900GTX, 1900XT, x800XL, x800pro vivo agp

I always keep em around thinking they're going to get used for something. Never happens though.
 
I have: 8800gts 640 in my main rig, 7300gt spare (this thing is suprisingly capable), Voodoo 4 4500 PCI spare.

Yep, that is how it goes.
If anybody wants to sell their 8800, pm me!:p

Up until recent days I have had
x850xt, x800xl, 9800pro, TI420 in my stash.
I still use x850xt, and I sold xl and pro, as far as TI420, well :(
 
Spares:

ATI X1950Pro x 2
EVGA 8800GTS 320MB Superclocked
Mad Dog Geforce FX 5200 Plus 128MB PCI
 
Installed I have 8800GTS 640MB in my system and 7900 GTO 512MB in my son's system.

Spare I have:
- X800XT AIW (gunna build another rig just so I can watch TV and continue converting old videos to DVD :D )
- 9800 PRO 128MB
- Voodoo3 3000 16MB PCI and
- Diamond Viper V330 4MB PCI card :eek:
 
Lets see... Voodoo 3, Geforce2 64 (2 of them), 9800 Pro, x850 xt, and a no name PCI card with 2 megs (*flashback* 2 megs of video ram! Thats insanely huge,!! I have to buy it honey! We can afford the 130 bucks!) :D Makes me wonder how many years from now I will be remembering when the completely outdated and underwelming 8800 GTX cards ruled the video games.
 
Have my 7900GS in my current system waiting for some volt modding. Sitting around I have an x1600 Pro PCI-e, FX5500 agp, a few random pci cards just in case I need something for testing. And my old school Diamond Stealth 3D with the S3 Virge chipset and 4mb of Vram... Played some great games on that thing, I turned the P1 66MHz that powered that system into a keychain though :D

I manage to sell off a fair number of my old graphics cards to friends, or else I'd have a few more. And I managed to break my MX420 I used to have.
 
In current systems:
==============
7900GT 512MB
X850XT
9600 Pro EZ (slower memory speeds than real Pro)
6200 64-bit AGP
GeForce2 MX

Lying around:
==============
GeForce4 Ti 4200 (lent to someone)
GeForce3 Ti 500 (lent to someone)
Radeon 7000/VE
Radeon 7500 PCI
TNT2 Ultra (Diamond Viper V770 Ultra - w00t!)

You guys have 8800GTS's lying around? Those would disappear on the FS forum in moments...that's declining $$$ you guys are holding on to! Sell 'em and get a hooker!

2x 6600gt sli pcie in my son's box
canopus spectra 2500 tnt
2 x 8mb voodoo2
intel 740 pci card
i was pretty sure i had a voodoo3 pci and a geforce 4400 laying around but i cant find them right now.

all stock except the canopus, i epoxied a fan on to it.
 
I have a radeon 9500 pro, some ancient Riva TNT 2 64 so I could work without an AGP slot and 2 7800GTX 512 cards in my main system now. I won't upgrade unless the G90 series are great and offer a significant boost over the G80 series (but ideally I wish ATI would release a better card since I'm sick of Nvidias poor driver support) The 9500 and the Riva are both backup cards.

In between I've had a 6800GT, 6800 Ultra, 7800GTX (which I hated because it couldn't overclock at all and wasn't a big improvement over the 6800) and way back I used a Diamond Viper V550 when I was stuck with stingy parents and had to use whatever PC pre-manufactured I could get.
 
X1900 XT in my main rig
X1800 All in Wonder in my media center
Voodoo 3 3000 in my fileserver

I shouldn't have sold my 6800Ultra as I now find that I need one. I'm using a Matrox Millenium 2 (legacy PCI) and it sucks as I can't play any games on it.
