A GeForce 9 series

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

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

SiS 6326 with 8MB.

It was 1999 but I had a very limited budget, around $400, for the entire system. This was my first AGP card.

The Wikipedia article says that this was not supported well by Linux but that's just not the case. It was the first card for Linux and FreeBSD that I had which let me view more than 256 colors. I ran KDE 1.x and then XFce.

Something happened between then and 2001 where I got a GeForce 2 MX 400 which ran fine with FreeBSD for many years.

Hell if I know. That was 30+ years ago.

GeForce GT 610.

It was the cheapest GPU available at the time, imagine my disappointment when I tried to run Minecraft with shaders and barely got more than a slideshow.

GTX 650 Ti Super used for 80 bucks. Love that card and man did it get me through tough times.

I got a graphics card that somehow bricked hard drives. We went through a lot of hard drives before finding out this was the case. I don't remember specifics

Radeon HD 6570, bit humble. Still not very powerful, I only have a GTX 950 at best, I don't PC game much these days

First and last. Radeon 9600xt

For my first gaming rig (gift)? GTX 980.

With my own money? 2080 TI

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).

ATI Mach32 EISA. It looked to good on paper, but somehow, it did not make DOS go brrrrrr 😟

MSI 4GB version of GTX970. Upgraded a few years ago to an RX6800 and I'm stoked about both GPUs tbh

First custom pc I got had a NVIDIA 6600 gt

Riva TNT 16MB, brand name Elsa, card called Erazor.

evga GTX 770 It never died Replaced it with an evga GTX1080 it blew up 2 months out of warranty. they sent me rtx 2070 despite the warranty(MISS YOU EVGA). I gave that card to my wife and upgraded to a 3080 from aorus.
the card is great, but the software that comes with the card is beyond awful. I will probably get an Asus next time.

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.

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.

An Nvidia GeForce 6200. It could run assassin's creed, the first one.

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!

3dfx Voodoo2, followed by a Riva tnt2. Good times were had.

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.

Oh man, talk about bringing me back in time. My first card was a voodoo 2.

I have no idea what i had in my earliest PCs, but the first 3d graphics card was the 3dfx Orchid Righteous 3d.

rx580. still have it on top of a shelf.

Nvidia GeForce 2 MX 200
