rx580. still have it on top of a shelf.
I have no idea what i had in my earliest PCs, but the first 3d graphics card was the 3dfx Orchid Righteous 3d.
Oh man, talk about bringing me back in time. My first card was a voodoo 2.
GTX750ti>GTX1070>RX6800
3dfx Voodoo2, followed by a Riva tnt2. Good times were had.
I believe I had the Riva tnt2. After that upgrading to the original GeForce 256. Was on my Intel Celeron 300A that you could overclock to a whopping 450mhz!
I had an ATI all in wonder 9600. That card was very unique because it also had a built in TV tuner and AV capture card that could turn your PC into a DVR of sorts. It went into an agp slot before PCIe was a thing.
An Nvidia GeForce 6200. It could run assassin’s creed, the first one.
My dad got us a voodoo FX banshee on our home computer back in the day. I guess the first one I personally bother would have been a GTX 970
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.
The first I bought for myself was a PNY XLR8 GeForce GTS 250 in 2010. It tided me over for 4 years, until my power supply gave a loud POP, and I replaced pretty much the whole build just in case the other parts were damaged (or caused the damage).
Riva TNT2
It was some on board gpu with my super amazing AMD K6-2, it couldn’t even run mega man X without chugging. Then a friend gave me an S3 Virge with a glorious 4mb vram.
I don’t know what hardware my first computer had because I didn’t even know what a GPU was at the time… But the first GPU I ever bought was the 8600 GT.
