I think I had a Voodoo 3 at some point. Then a Voodoo 5 at the family PC.

Then on my own PCs Radeon 1900Xt -> radeon 4780 -> radeon 7770 -> radeon 480 -> rtx 2070 super.

ATi EGA Wonder, it could do a whopping 640 x 350 with 16 colors!

ATI Rage something on AGP bus, no 3D acceleration, certainly no Openssl etc, but it had hardware MPEG2 decoding, you know, for DVD

My parents later bought me GeForce 2 MX400, in 2007 i bought a new PC with my own money (first salary) with GeForce 7300GT, later upgraded it to 9600GT, then Radeon HD 7770, GTX 1050 and now RX 6600, it's a Theseus's PC at this point

Nvidia GeForce 8400gs

Went great with my duo core 🥲 for that buttery smooth 30fps

EVGA 970 SSC

Man I miss EVGA. Did the upgrade to a 980 Ti when it got launched soon after.

First discreet graphics card was a GT755M really got me into gaming.

A Monster 2 8 MB. I remember being angry at my parents that they didn't get me the 12 MB version. But I couldn't formulate my anger because I didn't understand the difference between system and GPU RAM.

Still, I was amazed how quickly weapon switching now was in Jedi Knight. And Unreal always looked thr best in Glide. And the included rotating donut demo with bump mapping was awesome! A feature that would go on to be touted as the revolutionary hot new shit even 20 years later.

If by graphics card you mean 3D hardware acceleration, then it was a Canopus Pure 3D. It was equivalent to the first Voodoo add-in card but IIRC it had 6 MB of RAM instead of 4. It wasn't a standalone card so it had a VGA passthrough from your 2D card when it wasn't active.

As for 2D cards, idk. Unless it was pro reference grade like Matrox I don't remember EGA and CGA cards being branded.

Trident TGUI9440 on a VL-bus card. Surprisingly peppy on a 486/66 overclocked to 80.

I think it was S3 Virge. Remember playing Tomb Raider with smooth textures.

GeForce2 MX

First one that someone bought for me: Riva TNT2

First one I bought myself: ATI Sapphire 9600 pro

an ancient card with a colorful box from 3dfx.
I think it was a voodoo 2, but not one that came bundled with creative soundblaster.
Yes, we needed another physical card for sound.

3dfx Voodoo 5 5500. I remember thinking it was so cool that it had 2 chips on the same board: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voodoo_5

Upgraded my highschool family desktop I took to college with a GeForce 8800 GT , used until I build a new pc with a Radeon 7970 GHz edition, which was replaced with a rx580 after the card passed away from light coin poisoning. Desktop is now running unRAID and my new main rig has a gtx 3070 in.

ATI rage was in my family computer Diamond monster fusion was what I bought myself to replace it so I could play unreal properly.

My single-slot Radeon HD 6770 from PowerColor was quite nice, although outrageously loud toward the end of its lifespan. Bit of a dead end from the start though (last of TeraScale, never got Vulkan), but I still had a blast with it.

I forgot the first one, but I remember I upgraded it to an ATi Rage Pro so I could play Baldur's Gate, which needed 8 megabytes of video ram. Later I paired it with a Voodoo 2. I think it was the Diamond Monster one. And that one got replaced with a Matrox G200, which got replaced with Kyro II. I picked some odd cards back then.

A Matrox Millennium.

6569 R1 VIC II PAL Video Chip

AMD Radeon 6300M.

Or if mobile doesn't count: GTX 1060-6GB

GeForce 3 Ti 200.

Combined with a athlon xp 1800+ and blistering 512 MB DDR Ram I was simply TEARING through Warcraft 3 and Half Life. Thanks mom.

Intel i740. Awesome bang for buck card in the late 90s!

B*tchin' Fast 3D 2000

Nvidia GeForce 2 MX 200

Some Nvidia card back in the 90's

Mine was an ELSA Erazor III LT (the name somehow stuck). It was an offer that was bundled with horribly bad and clumly mechanical shutter 3D goggles. I remember trying Half Life with it. It was rattling all the time and the 3D effect was mediocre.

As a teen in the 2010s, my first GPU was an Nvidia 680m in a Sager (Clevo) laptop.

That thing could power through just about anything I'd throw at it. Good times.

Nvidia GT 9400.

First computer I built had a BFG 7600gt with the first upgrade I ever did was a BFG 8800gt

Miss BFG and EVGA for nvidia cards.

My brother and I after putting our allowances together as kids got either a Voodoo 2 or 3 (can't remember anymore) in order to run quake 2 better back in 1999.

A Cirrus Logic, on VLB on my 486DX/40, with 4 MB of RAM, and a SoundBlaster card. December 1994.

I had an s3 virge card. Amazingly bad, it basically was no faster than cpu rendering, but looked a bit better. I spent so much time trying to trick games into running on it.

A GeForce 9 series

GTX 760 Ti --> GTX 1060 Ti --> RTX 3080/RX6750 XT

Actual PC? GTX 960 4GB from MSI.
I got some random hand me down laptop with Win7 and probably some Intel iGPU
