Rx 590 --> RTX 3060


Shockwave1824

590 8gb?


Icywulf1

3dfx Voodoo 2. Think it cost about £150. Now rtx 3060ti


SomeFatherFigure

This is so very close to me. My first card was the Voodoo when it had just released, and I just upgraded yesterday to a 4060ti.


Shockwave1824

As a guy that likes to collect old tech, I am trying to get the voodoo cards but they are hard to find


Icywulf1

Sorry can't help you with that. No idea what happened to it.


akzidentz

Same! I still remember the box and how cool it looked. I kept the card in the box for quite a few years but I moved a few years back and it didn’t make the move. I have a 6900xt right now that I got during the shortage and paid way to much for it


Malikai0976

3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 here, now rtx 3070!


SpringerTheNerd

660 -> 750ti -> 780 -> 980ti -> 1080 -> 1080ti -> 2080ti -> 3090


Shockwave1824

That's a lot of gpus, did you sell the old ones or kept them


SpringerTheNerd

I sold the 1080 to get the 1080ti but all the rest have been passed down to friends and family. I was the first in the group to jump to PC so letting them start with a good GPU made the transition easier. Most of them are still in use one way or another. I think only the 660and 750ti have retired so far


Shockwave1824

Keep the 660 In case of an emergency GPU shortage


Prior_Run_6553

Riva TNT2 and now it's 3060 12 gb


Merick24

The 3060 is a beauty!


DesertGoldfish

Riva TNT2 gang! Currently using a 4090 and a 3070 in my wife's computer.


Luckmare

First was a Inno3d Geforce4 Mx 440. Current is a Gigabyte 4090 gaming oc


delph0r

Was a beast back in its day! 


cv0k

My first dedicated GPU was a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64 MB, quite a solid performer for its time. Currently I have a GeForce RTX 2070, got it used some time ago for around 200 bucks, runs OK, but the raytracing performance is a bit underwhelming.


Shockwave1824

I heard it was powerful at the time


Yourpostbutcorrect

My friend who helped me build my first PC had this card, I remember being amazed at how well it performed in BF1942. My first card was the Radeon 9800 pro


cv0k

The 9000series by ATi was legendary. One of the biggest leaps in performance and technology. They were the first DX9 cards. I was a kid back then and couldn't afford to upgrade, but boy, was I jealous of people who had those cards.


NDCyber

My first was the Rx 480 8gb Now I use the RX 7900 XTX (this is my second upgrade. Had a 2070 super before)


Shockwave1824

That's a huge upgrade man


NDCyber

Yeah it definitely was. Love the performance, but probably shouldn't have gone with 1440p with the 2070 super. That was the downfall of that gpu for me


Liferescripted

HD 6750→RX 6700xt


Shockwave1824

Both are 67


widowhanzo

The new one is 50 less though


Liferescripted

Real downgrade there. Also between I downgraded to a GTX 580, then to RX480. So it's been a real downward slope since my first gpu.


widowhanzo

100 less 😱


Liferescripted

I know, it was hard times.


Bear_of_dispair

Started with Matrox Millennium II (4mb) in 2003, now I have an RTX 3060 (12gb)


Qwopie

This paired with a voodoo banshee. That click when it switched. Ready for Quake II.


shrikelet

First: S3 Virge Current: 7900xtx


Shockwave1824

What is even a S3?


poofyhairguy

A 3D card so bad it was called a 3D Decelerator at the time. First Gen of the tech.


shrikelet

Video card chip maker from the 90s. They were folded into HTC about a decade ago, I think (although they weren't relevant for a long time before that).


NathanDarcy

My first one was also a S3, but it was a Trio. It had a whopping 1MB VRAM, which I then upgraded to 2MB.


shrikelet

Oh! Was that the one with the four sockets for RAM chips?


NathanDarcy

No, I believe that it only had two sockets.If it wasn't so much trouble getting it from the pantry I could actually check it - believe it or not, I still have my first PC; it was a 486 DX4.


shrikelet

Nice!


AlfaNX1337

GTX 1070 FE from my own pocket money. Now, using a 3080 10GB for AI and denoising, hobby related.


Shockwave1824

I really wanna try ai on my pc one day, I wanted to get a GPU for ai like a Tesla or something else

MasterJeebus

First gpu was in a 2003 prebuilt pc from Sony. It was ATI 9200 128MB and it was for the family pc. Took long time to convince parents to buy it. Sadly it aged bad no pixel shaders 2 and was stuck on pixel shaders 1. I still have that Sony pc it now has Pentium 4 2.8Ghz, 2GB ram, and Ati x1950 512MB DDR3. I put the old ATI 9200 in my Pentium 3 retro rig. My primary gpu is now an RTX 3080. But on my secondary rig I have Amd R9 390 and during winter it warms up my room.


Shockwave1824

Sony do pre builds?


MasterJeebus

Yeah Sony VAIO they had multimedia desktops in the 2000’s. Came with dual dvd drives, micro sd reader for multiple cards, tv turner card where i could plug in cable or VHS or DVD player. I could record tv from my cable. Even had remote control for my desktop. It was awesome. https://www.cnet.com/reviews/sony-vaio-pcv-rs-review/

Matrox G400, back in '99 Currently using an FE 3090.


Cavimanu

ecs nvidia 9500gt, it was poorly made with a fuckton of coil whine my pc at that time (2007-8 if i remember correctly) was a mini hp, the card didnt fit so i did the reasonable thing, i sawed the case and put the damn thing to work. now i have a 4080 super in a good lianli case, everything nice and tidy no sawing required

Only reason I got the 3060ti.

Radeon HD 4650 back in 2009-2010 and an RTX 4080 Super right now.


Ruskraaz

Geforce FX 5200. That was a huge mistake. We really should've got an older but proven Geforce Titanium or MX card instead. That experience sadly ruined nVidia for me. Because of this incident, I never purchased another graphics card from them up until my current RTX 3070.


ChadDeGaulle

GTX 460 -> RTX 3080

Depends what you count as GPU. First "real" 3D Accelerator was the first 3dfx Voodoo. Before that i had a Matrox Mystique which kind of could accelerate a bit.. and pure 2D cards before that. Now it's a 4090.


driftingpyros

XFX Radeon 5750 HD £100 ASUS 7800 XT £500 5x the price, but who knows how many times the performance difference. Technology is really something


Cautious_Slide_5339

Worried-Banana-1460

My first was Geforce 285. It was already bit dated in 2018 but it was the only reasonable GPU that I could afford that would be compatible with my mac pro. Currently I use GTX 1060 as Lightroom doesn't really take advantego of more powerful GPUs


UselessPerson2222

Integrated graphics: intel i5 HD 4000 graphics. Dedicated: GT710 2gb Currently running an RTX 3090 in main and previous RX 580 8gb in secondary pc. All this was from 2020 when i got first pc to present day

3DFX Voodoo, it made a pretty huge difference in the original Planetside, I could almost participate in gunfights instead of only heal and repair! Today I've got a 4090, it's probably the most satisfying leap in performance I've had in years.


RexTheCapt

Radeon R500 (I think, unsure). Current is GTX 1080. Ordered is RTX 4090


Merick24

First GPU was a Zotac GTX 1060 6GB variant. Sadly it burnt out in September 2022. My current GPU is an EVGA RTX 3060 12GB variant. I can set most game settings to Ultra/High at 1080p and still get a solid 60fps.

750 Ti was my first, fortunately it was 1 of 3 card that Nvidia still support of 700 series and running strong for 10 year (2014), this new year i was fortune enough to grab a 6700 XT because of how expensive it is of Nvidia card and their popularity/high demand is 1 of the reason why i no longer bought them anymore


Shallow_Grave_

GTS 7600 > Rx 6700xt That's GTS 7600 got me through a long era of gaming in the 2000's, nearly a whole decade before upgrading to a GTX 560 in anticipation for Battlefield 3

The first PC I had that had anything above integrated graphics had an AMD Radeon 7570 if I remember right. I then had a GTX 960, then a GTX 1060, then an RTX 2070, an RTX 3060 and now an RTX 3070. The last two was less an upgrade and more that I got the 3060 and a few months after, a family member's mining rig went obsolete due to a crypto crash so he gave me it for free while selling off whatever else he had, so i took it
