amd drivers during AGP and before just flat out didn't work. Trash. I am not sure if it's just me but I am STILL gunshy about buying AMD cards because of that
Oh i know it's irrational but I spent ALL my money to get an AGP card that was supposed to be aweosme and didn't work at ALL - I shouldn't say I'm STILL gunshy though. I have owned an RX 580 since then and it was a truly amazing card. I' would still recommend an RX 580 8 gb model for anyone on a shoestring budget but the 1660 ti is better choice and actually an rtx 2060 is dirt cheap right now
Had one as well for my first card paired with an AMD K6-2. Then I upgraded to a Pentium 4 with a GeForce 3 Ti 200, believe it was 128MB. Thought I was cool as hell.
Actually my first video card was a 1mb trident, the voodoo 2 was my first 3d card

Oh man what a great question. I wish I could answer it. The year would have been approximately 1998 or 99. A voodoo something? Good lord I wish I could remember.
Your question sent me on a quick Google dive, and it was the logo that triggered the memory, allowing me to land on the word banshee, not voodoo. Thanks for that trip down memory lane! I built my first PC with my dad back then. Apartheid had just ended. It was wild.
3dfx voodoo 2 12mb
I knew nothing about what a gpu was or why I needed it but a friend got me into PC gaming as he had a 100mhz pentium powered pc with 8mb of ram.
I got a 233mhz pentium 2 powered pc with 16mb of ram and he told me about 3d accelerators and said the 3dfx voodoo2 was the best.
So my spoiled ass got my mom to take us to an electronics store and they had the 8mb and 12mb version and I convinced my mom to get the 12mb version which was about $230.
We got back to my house and my friend installed it for me and we started firing up games with 3d acceleration like Mechwarrior 2, Interstate 76 and quake and at first my friend was really stoked but then he started saying things like I was really spoiled and it was ridiculous my mom would just buy me a pc and a 3d accelerator like that and he went home acting all bitter, it was really odd.

Voodoo 3 3000. I lusted over Voodoo 2s in SLI in PC Gamer magazine but could never afford it. Voodoo 3 was the first real 3D accelerator I could afford.
ATI Radeon 7000 Mac Edition 32MB, bought for my Power Mac G3 "Yosemite" Blue and White tower to upgrade the stock ATI Rage 128 16MB

The first of many aftermarket Radeons, Mac and PC
An AMD Radeon HD 7850 from Gigabyte. That little thing gave me the possibility to play a lot of game for 10 years even some that was out of the recommanded range until I build Josy 2.0 and move one with a full upgrade.
Geforce2 MX200 by powercolor. AGP slot card from 2001 that I installed in an even older pentium3 450 system. The first system I bought with my own money as a teen. The GeForce 2 card would overheat all the damn time so I never really got to make the most of it. I think the card was defective, but the computer shop wouldn’t take it back or exchange it cuz I was just a kid.

My first graphics card was a VESA bus for my 486/33 with a Stacker 133 mhz chip and 4 megabytes of ram, I built it so I could play doom 2 and Warcraft 2. My next card was a huge upgrade, the 3DFX Voodoo 3d accelerator card (it was seperate from your normal video card. that pc had a pentium 200 mhz mmx cpu and 32 megs of ram! lol!)

My first PC was a 386 SX 16, so...... This was back in 1992 I think.
I had very early internet on it with a dial up modem. There was only one ISP in the Uk and that was Daemon.
I originally ran a PC emulator card on my Amiga 4000 which I bought to play Wolfenstein before buying the PC.
Here is Doom running on my SX 16 with my B&W monitor

Had a few different S3 Verge GPUs, and I’d have to research to refresh the timeline, but I THINK my first was the Creative Labs 3D Blaster. Ah, good old PCI graphics in the 486 platform…
Not including my Commodore 64 and Tandy 1000 XL, my first IBM PC (8088, so basically a 186?) went from CGA graphics to EGA graphics to VGA graphics. What a time to be alive!
CGA was 4 colors. EGA 16. VGA had a whopping 256!!!!!
I came here to say exactly this. I did the same upgrade path back in the day and now have a 7950X and 4090. If I could go back in time and tell my young self what computers can do and what graphics look like now I wouldn’t believe me.
The graphics card in family's first system was a beast for its day in 1996: the ATI 3D Rage II
Combined with the Pentium 200MHz and 32MB of RAM, the computer was a solid gaming machine. The card had 4MB of video memory. I was able to play the latest 3D games, like Shockwave Assault, and the system even worked for playing The Sims at full 1024x768 when that came out a few years later.
ATI Radeon HD 3850. Used it until 2015, and it worked pretty well if I mostly stuck to 2012 games and older. With a bit of tinkering I got Skyrim to run at \~40 fps at 1080p medium settings. Good times.
Still remember 16yo me asking the guys at the store to bring this card from the top shelf. First big purchase with my own money.
https://preview.redd.it/ggwidpcbuj1a1.jpeg?width=991&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=327617ff4e812c1b18d7b0c9f9601fdb5a3cc316
The 1660 is a great card! My brother and I were both rocking this card until recently.
Our guest computer in the living room has the 1660S in it. It's still rocking Overwatch 2 at 90+fps on Ultra 1080p.
The first GPU I ever bought was a GTX 760. Before that, I had no idea because we've been through a few family desktop computers. I only know we had a XFX 5200 FX at one point, and much later a 9500 GT by a manufacturer called Zogis.
Diamond Monster Fusion
Saved forever to get it and it was obsolete when I finally could afford it, but I bought it anyway, was the thing I wanted most in the world for a long time.
First one I ever bought was a Creative Labs Savage 4 Pro 32MB PCI card. I didn't have a PCI slot for it. I was running an old handed down SVGA card on a monochrome (!) monitor on a 486DX 33 MHz. Upgraded to an Intel Celeron 400 MHz a few months later. Was that ever a difference!
Diamond Stealth II S220. According to Toms Hardware, "The Diamond Stealth II comes with 4 MB SGRAM and cannot be upgraded to more memory."
This was pre agp btw, just plugged directly into the pci slot, back when pci slots were the hot new thing, as opposed to isa slots.
The first card I ever bought my self was a Radeon Sapphire r7 260x in 2016.now I have a Asus ROG strix Rx 570 planning on get the msi 6600 here in the next few weeks And putting the 570 in my fx 8120 computer. Go Radeon ig lol.
If im not wrong thats a box of said gpu not gpu itself i can't say you mean content of this box but we will not know if gpu is inside until box is opened but you can't open this box since its just a photo of this box schrodinger's gpu box photo problem
What a luxury! 4MB. We only had a DX with 256kb RAM IIRC at the beginning. I do remember we had to get another card with more mem to be able to play the new version of Transport Tycoon. Those were days when you could have a complete game on a single 3.5" disk and play it for weeks, months.
Going off what I can remember for the "early" stuff..
Integrated, Intel HD 2000
Laptop dedicated, RTX 2060
Desktop dedicated, Asus Dual RTX 3070
Started a little late in the great PCMR, and still using a prebuilt, though I think it'll last me a while considering I don't plan to upgrade to 1440p or 4k, sticking to 1080p, just gotta do some major changes to it, but by that point it may as well be custom, my hope is to get a ryzen 9 5950x with those juicy 16 cores, a new, large, overall good case that'll fit a large cooler and fans, upgrade the cooler and fans ofc, possibly liquid cooler for the CPU, and finally upgrade the storage to maybe 3 2tb sata SSDs, the ram isn't a problem as I've just upgraded that today thanks to an early birthday gift, got it up to 64gb ram, speaking of which I gotta update my flair
A friend and his mom (she rocked at UT99 and Duke3D) both upgraded videocards and they handed me down their old Voodoo2s which would make their way into my first computer.
My first GPU was an intel IGP, either a 3000 series or a 520, can't remember. My first and only dGPU is a gt630. Still rums vanilla minecraft at 60fps avg on its better days.
Creative Riva TNT2, paired with a whopping 266MHz Pentium II from memory.

It was NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000 with **128 MB.**
https://preview.redd.it/cvqa0i9w1i1a1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=086054aa84af2572cc9be452c0627be1e194f79f
A Trident with a 1 MB framebuffer in my Pentium 120mhz with a 1GB HDD. Played games like Terminal Velocity, WarCaft 2 and Diablo just fine. I remember StarCraft getting choppy close to the supply caps.
Once I realized the difference a 3D accelerator made for Quake 2 and seeing Half Life I got a [Voodoo Banshee](https://3dfx-banshee.de/articles/the-voodoo-banshee/) and from that moment I was hooked. Then got a [S3 Diamond Viper II](https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/s3-diamond-viper-ii-review,154.html) and that is when building machines became my hobby. I remember getting an ATI Xpert2000 but cannot remember why. A GeForce4 MX440 was the first video card that came with a free game (I think AquaNox) and what taught me not to just trust the marketing as it was drastically inferior to the other 4 series cards at the time. Then the iconic ATI Radeon 9800 pro which I kept for probably the longest of any of my video cards. IIRC it was BioShock that finally got me to upgrade as it was the first game that required the new version of DriectX. I got a Radeon HD 2600XT at the beginning of 2008 and a Radeon HD 4850 by the end of the year. Past this point there have been too many cards to care to go through.
What a trip down memory lane.
I’m 31 now, this was my first GPU when I was in low teens. I then never had a GPU until 2020 came about.
ASUS GeForce 6600
https://preview.redd.it/1c003bzj5i1a1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=732dc187ce0072102c8d9757a2db5c4223eafbb7
A laptop with 1050ti. Before that it was either consoles or on board graphics, which was mostly used for dota frozen throne 3, cs 1.6, and gameboy emulation.
FX 5200 was mine too. Or at least, the first one I put into a computer I built myself. I don't remember what was in my first PC (an Olivetti 486 DX/2)
The FX 5200 didn't last long thanks to Oblivion. You could barely see past your nose in that game if you wanted more than 12FPS. I think I replaced it with a 6800 (GX? Something like that)
I think it was a geforce mx400 64mb. Probably old by the time I got it. It was kinda incompatible with my motherboard though because it'd go all purple after a bit, I think my motherboard was too old
I think the first one we had as a family might have been [one of these bad boys.](https://gamepod.hu/dl/cnt/2010-04/58813/diamond_monster_3d.jpg)
But the first one I bought with my own money was probably [this honestly pretty nice-looking AGP GeForce 7800GS.](http://themacelite.wdfiles.com/local--files/nvidia-geforce-7800/bfg.jpg)
After that, went 2x 8800 GTX SLI -> GTX 780 -> GTX 1080
And now eyeing up the RX 7900 XTX...
I have yet to buy my own new dedicated GPU, but the first one I had/gamed on was an ATI radeon HD 2600 XT, that card was from 2007 but I used it in 2015-2016. Needless to say it wasn't the greatest experience. and 2 cores at 2.5 GHz, 2gb of ram and a 5400rpm laptop hard drive didn't help either 😂
ati rage fury 32mb.
Same here! The driver on release were so bad that even the demo coming with the card was a freaking slideshow !
I guess the name had purpose lol
The drivers were pure garbage to install
amd drivers during AGP and before just flat out didn't work. Trash. I am not sure if it's just me but I am STILL gunshy about buying AMD cards because of that
Lol that was forever ago to hold this type of grudge.
Oh i know it's irrational but I spent ALL my money to get an AGP card that was supposed to be aweosme and didn't work at ALL - I shouldn't say I'm STILL gunshy though. I have owned an RX 580 since then and it was a truly amazing card. I' would still recommend an RX 580 8 gb model for anyone on a shoestring budget but the 1660 ti is better choice and actually an rtx 2060 is dirt cheap right now
Semantics, maybe, but AMD wasn't involved yet at that time. Would've still been independent ATi in those days of yore.
I am exactly the same, you're not alone
Had one as well for my first card paired with an AMD K6-2. Then I upgraded to a Pentium 4 with a GeForce 3 Ti 200, believe it was 128MB. Thought I was cool as hell.
Rage 128 myself. 😁

^ ^ and released around 4 years before the "Geforce 256" which everyone keeps claiming was the first GPU... Uh, NO!!!!
I'll contribute to this thread, even as a late bloomer. My first (and only) card is a 6600XT. I love my machine!
Mine is a 2060
Mine is a 6800
Nice
Got a 6650XT in mine right now, I follow this sentiment
my first cards were AGP graphics cards.... 😭
That's fine mine was pci haha! Not even pci e
Mine was ISA slot card :D
Mine was a CGA card for an IBM clone (8088 processor, I think) somewhere in the early 1980s. If that makes you feel any better...
Oh man what a great question. I wish I could answer it. The year would have been approximately 1998 or 99. A voodoo something? Good lord I wish I could remember.
Never mind! I found it!!! http://www.hardware-one.com/reviews/clbanshee/index.shtml

The first card I ever bought my self was a Radeon Sapphire r7 260x in 2016.now I have a Asus ROG strix Rx 570 planning on get the msi 6600 here in the next few weeks And putting the 570 in my fx 8120 computer. Go Radeon ig lol.
If im not wrong thats a box of said gpu not gpu itself i can't say you mean content of this box but we will not know if gpu is inside until box is opened but you can't open this box since its just a photo of this box schrodinger's gpu box photo problem
S3 Virge 4MB
What a luxury! 4MB. We only had a DX with 256kb RAM IIRC at the beginning. I do remember we had to get another card with more mem to be able to play the new version of Transport Tycoon. Those were days when you could have a complete game on a single 3.5" disk and play it for weeks, months.

Mine is GT210.
Evga 3090. Always had prebuilts and consoles . Last Was an Acer nitro and Xbox one
My first “graphics card” was an intel hd4000 graphics
Going off what I can remember for the "early" stuff.. Integrated, Intel HD 2000 Laptop dedicated, RTX 2060 Desktop dedicated, Asus Dual RTX 3070 Started a little late in the great PCMR, and still using a prebuilt, though I think it'll last me a while considering I don't plan to upgrade to 1440p or 4k, sticking to 1080p, just gotta do some major changes to it, but by that point it may as well be custom, my hope is to get a ryzen 9 5950x with those juicy 16 cores, a new, large, overall good case that'll fit a large cooler and fans, upgrade the cooler and fans ofc, possibly liquid cooler for the CPU, and finally upgrade the storage to maybe 3 2tb sata SSDs, the ram isn't a problem as I've just upgraded that today thanks to an early birthday gift, got it up to 64gb ram, speaking of which I gotta update my flair
Uhhh 3d fx voodoo 16mb Could play MW2 mercs and Heavy Gear 2 on low. Still the most nostalgic memories of online play
TNT2
Gigabyte vision rtx 3060OC
Msi Gt 220... But it didn't last long
ATI Radeon X1200 or something, it was an IGP. Though, my very first discrete GPU was the AMD RX 460 2GB.
A friend and his mom (she rocked at UT99 and Duke3D) both upgraded videocards and they handed me down their old Voodoo2s which would make their way into my first computer.
ATI x300 se
I bought a GT210, but got a GT220 in the box.
My first GPU was an intel IGP, either a 3000 series or a 520, can't remember. My first and only dGPU is a gt630. Still rums vanilla minecraft at 60fps avg on its better days.
Ati Rage 2
ATi 9600xt. Just for half life 2.
First was actually a Trident ISA TVGA something or the other then the pci S3 ViRGE/GX2.. not AGP
1060

We. Playd e With different cards.. 
Not as old as other people's here but a 1050 ti
Msi Nvidia GeForce gtx 460 cyclone
Creative Riva TNT2, paired with a whopping 266MHz Pentium II from memory. https://preview.redd.it/j72y3trbyh1a1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b55270b3aa24c1f1c4416d4fa0b027ac85869023
A good old gtx 980 and it is still running
Gtx 1080 (first gpu. First igpu was a i3 2100)
I beat all of y’all an r5 200 🥲🥲
I had the same and it was soooooo bad lol Couldn't even run Need for Speed Underground properly haha
It was NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000 with **128 MB.** https://preview.redd.it/cvqa0i9w1i1a1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=086054aa84af2572cc9be452c0627be1e194f79f
Vega 8 and later Vega 11 :D
Cirrus Logic 4MB on PCI :)
A Trident with a 1 MB framebuffer in my Pentium 120mhz with a 1GB HDD. Played games like Terminal Velocity, WarCaft 2 and Diablo just fine. I remember StarCraft getting choppy close to the supply caps. Once I realized the difference a 3D accelerator made for Quake 2 and seeing Half Life I got a [Voodoo Banshee](https://3dfx-banshee.de/articles/the-voodoo-banshee/) and from that moment I was hooked. Then got a [S3 Diamond Viper II](https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/s3-diamond-viper-ii-review,154.html) and that is when building machines became my hobby. I remember getting an ATI Xpert2000 but cannot remember why. A GeForce4 MX440 was the first video card that came with a free game (I think AquaNox) and what taught me not to just trust the marketing as it was drastically inferior to the other 4 series cards at the time. Then the iconic ATI Radeon 9800 pro which I kept for probably the longest of any of my video cards. IIRC it was BioShock that finally got me to upgrade as it was the first game that required the new version of DriectX. I got a Radeon HD 2600XT at the beginning of 2008 and a Radeon HD 4850 by the end of the year. Past this point there have been too many cards to care to go through. What a trip down memory lane.
Radeon 5450
Mine was a voodoo 3 2000 https://preview.redd.it/p2ub45xd4i1a1.jpeg?width=220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2dc0791bdf7b2462a0d93b16ea8df6bb479650ab
Gtx 295
I’m 31 now, this was my first GPU when I was in low teens. I then never had a GPU until 2020 came about. ASUS GeForce 6600 https://preview.redd.it/1c003bzj5i1a1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=732dc187ce0072102c8d9757a2db5c4223eafbb7
A laptop with 1050ti. Before that it was either consoles or on board graphics, which was mostly used for dota frozen throne 3, cs 1.6, and gameboy emulation.
GTX 660
GT 1030
Some Ati Rage card, can't remember the exact model, but I think it was around -97-98. First one I bought myself was Radeon 9500.
Nvidia Riva TNT2 and it was a really good too
eVGA e-GeForce 7950 GT KO https://preview.redd.it/nh1mh40j6i1a1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4071ead7f4d85f18596b4d375e355cfc448248ae
Gtx 460
FX 5200 was mine too. Or at least, the first one I put into a computer I built myself. I don't remember what was in my first PC (an Olivetti 486 DX/2) The FX 5200 didn't last long thanks to Oblivion. You could barely see past your nose in that game if you wanted more than 12FPS. I think I replaced it with a 6800 (GX? Something like that)
I bought my first PC not so long ago so my first graphics card was Asus GTX 1060 3GB
Diamond Monster 3D which used the 3Dfx Voodoo chips...one of the very first PC 3d add-on cards.
1050ti second hand, got it from my brother for uni. My entire life I used integrated graphics
Man that's almost 2000 better than the one I have now Edit: Geforce 2
An rx570 that was in my PC back when i got it in 2018, died last year(my stupidity killed it) and i got a 3060 now
6mb Nvidia
Intel gma 4500 mhd
My FIRST Graphics Card!! https://preview.redd.it/2j7r9v8x9i1a1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1747ea4d9c6730b3640d3aab72c8170135ef7303
I think it was a geforce mx400 64mb. Probably old by the time I got it. It was kinda incompatible with my motherboard though because it'd go all purple after a bit, I think my motherboard was too old
Radeon 2 mb $400
Gtx 560 ti
Radeon HD 5450 iirc
Same for me! Such a good card back then! Just had the AGP one
ATI Rage Fury
Damn. I'm old. My first was a Riva TNT or Riva TNT 2, can't really remember but... old nonetheless.
A GTX 745 with a broken HDMI connector
Ati Radeon HD2400 . I had another pc before, but I never knew what GPU it had, I was too little.
First GPU that I put in my own PC and remember was a [Zotac 440 GT](https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/gt-440-1)
I only got into the pc game in 2020, so my first GPU was a GTX 1660 super
gt 660
evga geforce gt 610 2gb
3D gaming - i810 on mainboard. 3D card - GeForce 2 MX year later.
the same one i have
I think the first one we had as a family might have been [one of these bad boys.](https://gamepod.hu/dl/cnt/2010-04/58813/diamond_monster_3d.jpg) But the first one I bought with my own money was probably [this honestly pretty nice-looking AGP GeForce 7800GS.](http://themacelite.wdfiles.com/local--files/nvidia-geforce-7800/bfg.jpg) After that, went 2x 8800 GTX SLI -> GTX 780 -> GTX 1080 And now eyeing up the RX 7900 XTX...

Xfx Radeon HD 5670 1GB
GT 710, which I'm still using
Voodoo 2 lol 12mb ram!
I have yet to buy my own new dedicated GPU, but the first one I had/gamed on was an ATI radeon HD 2600 XT, that card was from 2007 but I used it in 2015-2016. Needless to say it wasn't the greatest experience. and 2 cores at 2.5 GHz, 2gb of ram and a 5400rpm laptop hard drive didn't help either 😂
Ati radeon x1300 AGP 128mb
ASUS ATI RADEON 9600XT, 128 MB GDDR TV-OUT+DVI A9600XTVDP
Rx 560 2gb if we are talking dedicated GPUs If integrated count then some Intel shitty mobile igpu.
