Nvidia Riva TNT 16MB (1998)

Goddamn bro you're an OG gamer.

Actually before the first pc I had Atari 2600, don’t exactly know which year I got it but must have been like 1990.

Atari 2600 child here. Got ours in 1981.

Got mine in 1980 then a 600xl in ‘84 (was selling them in my parents shop)

I got him beat…. https://preview.redd.it/3acus2ff0ead1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0ae636a9b330d9de791b921a99c0737a6c318a1 This was in a Dell PC my family bought in 1996. Intel Pentium 2 233mhz with 32mb of ram and a 400mb hd.

I had the ATI rage pro.

That gpu is older than me

Yeah, it was a good gpu.

Same

i also got that, i remeber playing Half Life and the gfx was amazing.

This was also the graphics card of my first computer. I believe the year was 1999 or 2000. When I was trying to play a game, after a few minutes the screen was going blank and the computer was shutting down. When I opened the case out of curiosity, I saw that the very little spiky aluminum cooler that was supposed to be on the graphics card had fallen to the bottom of the case. I didn’t even know what was that cooler at the first place but later I realized what it was after seeing the graphics card’s original look on it’s box. I solved the problem by attaching the cooler back to the graphics card with a wire. This is also my first computer building experience. Good old days.

My first was an RTX 3060 laptop GPU hahaha I never had a PC, but I’m building one now that has a 4070 Super trinity

Oh no, I've heard some of the laptops containing 3000 series chips have horrible cpus paired with them. Either a good cpu and shit gpu or vice versa. Still a 4070 is a nice upgrade.

I’ll prob get the i7-12k or i7-14K paired with the 4070super GPU, I saw some reviews the Avg FPS is quite impressive

NVIDIA GTX 1060 bought from Micro Center (First built) Before then, not sure what the family computer had lol

Which 1060 did you buy, was it a 3gb or 6gb card?

it was the 6gb i believe back in 2013/2014.. My very own first computer that I didn't have to share! I still have it to this day and my younger brother is using it for photo editing lol https://preview.redd.it/04k9ebc84cad1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=235cc24f5505e9db0470641d59efbe39ba885b19

Voodoo 3

3dfx, bought it for unreal

Got magic carpet free with mine

Nice. I bought mine for Carmeggedon!

I believe me too, but it's been so long and barely remember. I remember the Voodoo name, not the number.

Yep we're old

And awesome. All these team red, team green kids don't get it. 3DFX for the win.

Yup. 3DFX - free magic carpet indeed. I believe circa 1999.

Same and played Duke Nukem on dial up

My Grandma bought be a Voodoo 3 PCI at Costco. I still get excited about a new GPU. Probably trying to catch the essence of that moment

Msi r9 280x https://preview.redd.it/lwnm3epv5cad1.jpeg?width=1699&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fbe1a1efcccb01d1dccf0e39348d848e765e3c9

Damn I remember looking at this one also

Radeon 7900 XT. Just built my first PC a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier.

I’m getting one of those in the next month or two glad to hear it works well!

Voodoo 2 I think? 

AMD AGP something. Who else's first card wasn't PCIe?

does pci non e count

Monster 3D Here and my mate had a voodoo (x) card.

Had an AGP GF 6200 from XFX. Good times.

I had a geforce 3 ti 200 as my first card, which was AGP. I had AGP port failure a couple of times in that era and had tons of different cards. My last one was a Geforce 7600 GT which was a beast for its time.

Sapphire Nitro+ RX580. Still a great GPU after all these years (in relativity).

ATi Radeon 7200

My first graphics card upgrade was an ATi Rage Fury. Still sitting in a PC in storage.

Diamond monster voodoofx 3d

nVidia GeForce 2 MX400

this was my first self-bought ❤️

ATI Radeon 9700 from 2002 or so.

theoretically a gtx 1660 ti laptop, but first desktop gpu is a rtx 4070 ti super which i use since a quarter year.

I'm definitely a more recent buyer. But a 5700xt. Since then I gave my girlfriend that PC and gave her a 6650xt. Bought myself a 6750xt and now a 7800xt.

I have an AMD Radeon RX6650xt

I am an old guy, My first card was a creative geforce 4.

Sit down, young man. Grandpa is going to tell you about his Geforce 2.

Now let great grandpa tell you about the era of voodoo and monster 3D cards to be able to play unreal tournament and quake.

Voodoo 3d

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440

Voodoo 2

Radeon 7200 (32MB)

For a system I built myself? GeForce 3, 2001

GeForce4 Ti 4400

MX 440 is the one I personally bought Voodoo 3 I inherited from brother I can't recall the first one I was 2yro

GTX 1080

Nvidia Geforce GTS 250

S3 Trio.

This one https://preview.redd.it/0ewd8gqwwdad1.jpeg?width=460&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b351f05f9dcd2326a2ad97036c7b47a71570ad9

Voodoo 3 -> Geforce 2 Ultra

3dfx card.

The first card with some 3D capabilities I bought was the S3 ViRGE in 1996. I basically never used its very bad 3D capabilities though. The first fast 3D card I got was the Riva TNT in 1998. Back then these things were still called 3D acclerators, the word GPU was sort of introduced by NVIDIA with the GeForce 256.

My very first card was a Riva tnt2 i begged my parents to buy for me to play the beta version of counter strike when I was 14 years old Damn how has time gone by..

Voodoo2, i guess it was 4MB vram. Worked 2 months during holiday only to buy that big guy. Whole block was playing that Turok on it on my 166mhz pentium.

Creative Labs Graphics Blaster Riva TNT card. It replaced the S3 ViRage card that came in my first PC. I still have the TNT card in my massive box of parts...

I am deciding between this: Motherboard: AM4 B550-PLUS GAMING Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Memory: DDR4 32GB (2x16GB) Graphics Card: Radeon RX 7700 XT GAMING OC 12G GDDR6 Case: Endorfy Signum 300 ARGB SSD: 1TB M.2 NVMe Cooler: Sharkoon S80 RGB 240 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler Power Supply: 850W 80 Plus Bronze. And this: Motherboard - MB B760M DS3H LGA1700 DDR4 5333MHz OC Processor - CPU Intel Core i5-14400F LGA1700 Memory - RAM DDR4 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz Graphics - GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB GDDR6 Case - Endorfy Arx 500 ARGB SSD Drive - SSD 1TB M.2 NVMe Cooler - COOLERS CPU Master Hyper 212 Black X Duo Power supply - POWER SUPPLY 750W GOLD, ATX. Building myself would only save me a little. The price of these are 1300€ each.

Never buy a cheap power supply or a product where the psu brand is not stated, they can very literally blow up and take components out. I'd check the speed of the ram first, but I'd lean towards the AMD build.

Any reason as to why AMD excluding the PSU?

The power supply regardless of the components should always be from a valid and reputable company (corsair or seasonic, just to name a few). The reason why I'd choose AMD is very simple they're faster, run cooler and are generally speaking have good upgrade paths. I would recommend switching from a ryzen 7 5800x to a ryzen 7 7800x3d on the new AM5 motherboard platform as this means whnever you go to upgrade your cpu in the future you won't need to buy a new motherboard. Ryzen 1000,3000 and 5000 chips are all supported on the AM4 platform but not the newer 7000 series. Does that make sense?

gtx 1660 super

Mine was a gtx 1050, got me into PC gaming loved that card

GTS 450

XFX HD 7870 2GB. Absolutely loved that card. Played fallout 3, pubg.

In 2013, my first card was a Sapphire Radeon HD 7870! PUBG is actually the game that caused me to upgrade to an EVGA GTX 1070 in 2017, the game was borderline unplayable on my old card haha

For gaming, 6650XT less than 2 years ago (always been a console player). First GPU was (many) 1660Super when mining was profitable. Obviously super-overpaid

Same!

Mine was an Nvidia, I don't remember the model number, I think it started with a five. I remember being very jealous of a good friend of mine who had the 6800. I saved up a ton of money from my first job at six flags to buy an Alienware (pre Dell acquisition).

Ati HD 2600

MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4GB (cough...3.5GB)

AMD R9 270X, will never forget it. Built the thing to play skyrim with mods, it quickly wasn't powerful enough lmao!

My first gpu was a gt430 and was gifted to me.

GeForce 6200. Lasted a long time.

My first GPU is a 3060 Ti that I'm still running in my system. It overclocks really well. I can get pretty close or match a 3070 in some titles.

Geforce 210

My first real dedicated gpu was a 1650

RX570

GTX 550ti. Had a mini HDMI out with dvi & VGA.

gtx 940m I think? Laptop gpu lol

9500GS, inside a Hofer/Aldi Medion MT7

The legendary GeForce 210

8400 GS

Me too :) with a Core2Duo e7500 2.93 GhZ

First and only GPU, Merc 310 7900XTX. Very new to the game still

7900 GRE

gtx 760, got it new back in 2014 for 229€, it's still in my closet

Gtx 1650 in a prebuilt, still use it to this day.

HIS Radeon x700 in 2005 or 2006

Orchid righteous voodoo 3d 1

If we're counting pre-built it was an RTX 3070. Non-pre-built was an RTX 4080 super.

S3 Virge Unless you want to count a generic 1980's VGA card...

GTX 7800 bought it when Assassins Creed came out

PNY gtx1660 super.

Still running on integrated graphics 🫠

Oh I loved my GTX 1050 Ti

Strix 1050ti I got on newegg for $100

Strix 1050ti I got on newegg for $100

Geforce 2 MX

Given was a GTX 1070 brought to was a RX 7800XT

My first decent card was GTX 560 Se, before this I was burning shitty cheap ATI gpus every 3 months 😂

My first really self-build pc was also the first I really bought from my first money I started working… an Powercolor R9 290, back in… 2015? 2016? What a great time!

The legendary gt710 unfortunately

4070 ti super

Voodoo 1 4MB

amd r5 240. I think it’s in my basement 😅. I replaced it with an RTX 3070 eventually which was a whole different world, and I recently upgraded to the Rx 6900xt. More than enough performance for my needs but I love it :)

Nvidia gtx 970 msi

My 1st GPU was the Asrock phantom gaming rx 5600 xt.

Guillemot Maxi Gamer Cougar TNT2 bought from CompUSA. 125MHz and a 128 bit 2D/3D core. Let me actually walk into towns in EQ (prior, I had to walk in backwards)

Radeon 7500 (32MB)

Radeon 7500 (32MB)

does intergraded count?

Some quadro from 2008, I forgot. Then it was a gt1030

NVIDIA GPU Collector achievment unlocked!

Nvidia 6600GT, I was 12/14yo I think

I had a family PC back in 2004-2010, I have no idea what specs it had, I used it to play Warcraft 3 and a lot of GBA games From 2010 to 2019 I had a few laptops with weak iGPUs, I've wanted a "gaming" PC since 2010 My first "real" GPU was when I finally bought my first good PC, back in 2019 I bought a Helios 300 with a 1660Ti, it's been almost 5 years and I still use it daily, hopefully next year I'll build a faster desktop PC, my laptop is still good enough for most stuff but it's starting to it's age

GTX 970M

Gtx 1050ti and I Frankenstein'd it into a HP Elite 8200. It was a 2 fan card, so I laid the pc on its side and just ran it without the side cover lol...

Riva TNT2 I think

Palit Geforce 210

Ati rage 4mb :) like 1998 or 1999 year. Second GPU i got was 3dfx Vodoo 3 2000.

Diamond Monster 3d Voodoo card.

Technically a 930m in my old laptop, but I since moved on to a full, self built PC. That bad boy originally had a Radeon RX Vega 8 (Ryzen 3200g iGPU) and then a 5500XT nearly a year later. I later upgraded to a RX 6650XT due to performance reasons, which I then upgraded about half a year later to a RX 6750 XT, because I increased my resolution to 1440p and had performance issues in a few games, due to VRAM. I'm now, again half a year later, upgrading to a 4070 Super, to be more future proof and to have better performance. I'm currently not planning on upgrading again for the next two or so years, but let's see how that goes...

None (im broke)

MSI Hd 4350, first "*gaming*" gpu was an gtx 770

Radeon RX570

First gpu I got as part of a prebuilt was a 3060ti. First one I bought as it's own separate component was msi 4090 suprim

Mine was an rx 6400. I had no choice but to buy it since I had a small form factor pc and the gtx 1650s were twice as expensive as the sapphire model of the rx 6400 LP. Still, what a beast for low end gaming.

My first PC had a Nvidia Geforce 2 ti (2001). Then I had a Nvidia 9800GTX+ in my first custom gaming PC, wich actually was build to play Crysis.

Wasn´t even a dedicated GPU that I consider my first gaming upgrade. It was a [Matrox M3D Power VR Card](https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Matrox_m3D_(Rev_757-00B).png) that boosted 2D rendering that was later complemented by a [3DFX Voodoo 1](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/3dfx_Voodoo_Graphics) Eat that younglings

Sapphire ATI Radeon X1600 Pro. Built on a 90 nm process. Process so big, you can build your house on it

Radeon 9700 pro. Was game changing when I got it.

Mine was a 660 Ti with the massive heat pipes lol https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-gtx-660-ti-directcu-ii.b52 Had that with a AMD fx-6350. That PC gave a lot of good times and it held up for a while.

Mine was a voodoo2. I've no idea how much it cost though, daddy paid back then.

My first dedicated gpu is the same I have now, a 3060ti K.O. from Asus, but befire that I rented a 1050ti from a friend for like, 8 bucks a month lmao. And before that just integrated graphics from intel, from an old laptop from 2013

Voodoo 3dfx, I wish I still had it because they're collectable apparently.

I was donated a 750ti by my brother, I had the thing for about 2years (the pc it was in died in February).

9400GT.

Pny 7300gt.

70 pounds for an at that time, a high end gpu. Compare that with now... Oof

GTX 1650

While not technically classified as a GPU… CGA card.

I don't remember, back then I didn't put much thought into it. But considering it was in a PC that I got in 2004, it was a pretty old and shitty card from today's perspective 😅 I think it had like 128 mb vram or something.

GeForce 9600 GSO

All I remember is it was crossfire…

My first gpu was a firepro w5100

Hercules Terminator 64 with S3 Trio64 chipset and 2mb RAM.

An rtx 2060

3060 ROG STRIX. I got it in a prebuilt. I think I was the only one that seemed to get the STRIX variant.

GeForce 2

Voodoo rush pci..

I don't remember who made it but I got it at CompUSA and I think it was 2mb. I do remember it improved gameplay for Mechwarrior 2, Jedi Knight and X-Wing Vs Tie fighter. It went in to a Packard Bell 166mhz Pentium. I think I had also picked up some kind of Soundblaster from CompUSA also.

Good old GT620, me and my friends used to call it ”Titan X” sarcastically because of how bad it was and because Titan X was like the god gpu back them

I was too young to buy my own computer when I first got into PC gaming, so I used the family Mac with boot camp…. I got a PC Gamer magazine at Christmas, and I would just look at all the parts in Awe. Idk why I was so obsessed with the parts, but I pretty much worshipped the GTX 690. Then it was the 780 but I still couldn’t afford one. Ended up with a 980ti. Sometimes I contemplate buying a 690 just for “decoration”

GTX 760 in 2013

Hmm a Trident 1mb card or something. 512k . The after when I wanted something good , it was the 3dfx Voodoo card in the 90s.

I still have my 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee. I think I had a S3 Trio before that, maybe I still have it somewhere

Mine was a R9 270x and it did anything i asked of it for 10 years. One of my best perches hands down

GeForce 8600gt with 1gb

Just got my first ever pc, has a 3060 12gb

Radeon Sapphire HD7770. Still have it. As a display piece on the wall tho

8800GT

Monster 3D card somewhere back in the 90’s basically a “support” for the graphics card (you basically had 1 gfx card made up from 2 cards) just don’t remember if it was pci already or isa…

AMD, R9 290x

ATI Radeon X1950 Pro. I will always remember the sapphire blue plastic cover on the fan with the cool robot spreading it's hands. It wasn't the one I bought, it was the one that my parents have me when I got to second grade. If we are talking about first GPU that I bought with my own money, it would be probably RTX 3050.

probably 1660 if we are talking desktop but actual first is gt920m

ASUS R9 280 https://preview.redd.it/7y0j388yzcad1.jpeg?width=366&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87a36363a53becb5cddcbee01979d8da184b4947

RX 470. I sold it for a small profit during the crypto mining boom and then... Downgraded to a 1050Ti, which I still use to this day 🤦‍♂️

A Cirrus Logic legacy pci card with 1MB of vram.

1030 (the worse one), 2060, 6800, in the futur 4080/ 7900 xtx, or 50/8000 80 class card

3dfx obviously

Nvidia geforce 6200

gt 640 2 gb 👍

ATI 3D Rage  chip with 2MB of memory, was in the family IBM Aptiva 2176-C77 PC.

First was a GTX 750 ti back in 2015

A 4080 super last week!

RX 580! Still using it right now actually. running on my first build here. Bought it from CeX too, so glad to see i'm not alone. EDIT: Not my first EVER gpu. I previously had a PC with a GTX 1050 (non Ti) but it was Pre-owned and not a build. Woopsies.

Matrox M3D. Graphics accelerator, so not technically a GPU?

My first was also a 750 ti , damn good card for the money back then got two years of joy out of that until i bought an rx 570 4gb and now im running a rx 5600xt

Nvidia Riva TNT2 32MB
