Still using a pair of them in SLI. A shame nvidia keeps trying to "help update" games that support SLI just to try to force people to buy their new junk.
Most memorable cards for me: - ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB (Half-Life 2 era!) - Geforce 6600 GT (comparable mid-range NVIDIA) - Geforce 8800 GTX (way ahead of its time, lasted ages) - Geforce GTX 1080 (and agreed, Ti was an even harder hitter, but my 1080 lasted for ages and crushed previous SLI builds) Currently rocking an RTX 4080 bought on a 17% discount, so it was well worth it, and personally I think it's the only 40-series worth getting, for the money, if you can find one for ~$999 like I did.
I remember loving my ATI All in Wonder 9800 Pro. I believe it performed pretty much the same as a 9800 Pro and it had a built in TV tuner so I could watch cable TV on my monitor. Got a LOT of mileage out of that as a kid, haha.
ATI 9800PRO, 6600/6800GT, 8800GT, 4870, 7950, R9 290/390, 750Ti, GTX970, the full Pascal lineup... RX480, RX5700... that's it... Still holding on my 1070Ti because there isn't anything worth upgrading to, the 4080 would be the bare minimum, but I'm not spending $1350-1500 on that(a card that can't even do 4k60FPS in UE5 for $1400), nor $1630-1900 on a 4090 which would be an actual decent upgrade...
since computational power took off in the years after, 9700 / 9800 were the start of good looking ego shooting, right ? Modern warfare made my 9700 pro melt after about 30min of playing, but good lord did it look good.
I was trying to think back as the guys were talking, but I think the first card I ever bought was indeed the Voodoo 2 for Half-Life and Quake 3 back in 1998-1999. I distinctly remember trying to get Direct X 7 to play nice back in the days before Windows put out consistent updates over the Internet. Probably didn't help that I was completely dumbfounded by all that stuff. I'm fairly sure I had a 7800 long ago during the WoW heyday, and then a 970, a 1660, and now a 3060. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few but I tend to buy whatever is the best deal at the time and let the chips fall where they may.
The GeForce4 MX 440. That was the last time I was like "wow, what great performance for the money." It ran AvP 2 beautifully and punched it's weight even when Source first came out. Everything I've bought since feels overpriced for not much of an upgrade.
Did you mean the 440Ti? The mx was famously a complete lemon of a card with terrible performance and still bad bang for buck to boot- I had one at the time too, taught me the hard way about reading up carefully before buying 😅
I had mx440 too... I think it was good performance for the money, but still it was really not a good gpu. Way to much cut down, so even GF 2 was sometimes better.
Still rockin' a GTX 1070... longest I've done with a GPU so far! And since the're still many 8GB GPU's, this first and lowest performing 8GB GPU has proven and is still proving how capable it is after all these years! Best GPU I've ever had to this date 😃
I absolutely agree with Rich on the GTX 1080 Ti. Mine lasted me nearly five years and handled any game I threw at it like a boss, even at 1440p. I remember paying around $700 USD for it in 2017, and thinking that was a bit pricey (lol how things have changed), but I more than got my money's worth. I even sold the old beast early last year for $600! I could not believe what a monster that card was compared to its younger brother and its true AMD competitor, which wouldn't arrive until two years later! And it is still a viable card today. It was one of the best price to performance cards I've ever used, and I've been building gaming PCs since the 90s. The 1080 Ti truly was a unicorn.
my rx 580 served me well for almost 5 years, recently upgraded to a new rig featuring an rx 7900xt since it was discounted and i wanted something extremely fast for 1440p ultrawide gaming
let's go, from my personnal history with PC and in order : Matrox Millenium / Voodoo 1 / Voodoo 2 SLi / GeForce 256 DDR / GeForce 2 Ultra / Radeon 9700 Pro / Radeon X800 XT PE / GeForce 8800 Ultra / Radeon HD 4870 / Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition / GeForce 1080 Ti ... those are the ones that had the 'wow' factor for me ^^
hell, even my 1080 holds up for 4k 60fps in older games, like witcher 3, with only a little bit of sacrifice in the graphics quality. the growing list of new games i just can't run is getting harder to ignore though...
I didn't have one but if I had to say one GPU that absolutely dominated the conversation for its generation, I'd say 8800GT. I had a 8800GTS 320MB and even that was a great card back then in 2008. I think the only GPU that could do something similar is 4090 since then. I had a 9800PRO as well, I'd say my best AMD GPU.
I remember being impressed with the Geforce 2 Ti as well as the 560ti when I was growing up, but neither were bought by me as I was too young(in Geforce 2 Ti's case) and too poor(in the 560ti's case), so I wonder if they were actually good examples of price/perf.
Still have my GTX 1080 TI, but it's failing. The Display Ports doesn't work at all. The HDMI port barely works, it's a crap shoot if I get it working. It's not my primary PC, just the basement PC, but I do like to play games on it every once in awhile.
AMD 290X was another classic I had for 8 years. I upgraded my 2nd PC to AMD 6700XT. The 290X could do 1440P at medium in about half of the games I won in 2021. It's biggest drawbacks was the 4 GBs of ram by the time I sold it.
1080 Ti. Love Live the King. I literally just upgraded to a 4070 Ti system a few months ago and honestly...my i7-7700k and 1080 Ti System...that thing STILL runs most games at respectable 1080-1440p at 60-120fps. What a beast of a card. I had nothing, but issues with the 970. It was horrendously buggy card with driver issues and the memory was an issue. It was a huge issue, games nearly always needed the full 4GB, but Nvidia lied and gave us a 3.5GB card for a marked up price.
Had a modified AMD 3G 7970 from a friend that gave me some great mileage then got a GF 1050Ti, still running with that as i'm all in on cloud gaming, don't feel the need to pay so much, cards are way too expensive.
I always and still think the 8800gtx was the best gpu release of all time. I cant think of a time when the next gen flagship was worst than the previous (as was the case with the 9800gtx having less ram...)
Very close! The PS4 used a cut down Pitcairn, which was what powered the regular HD 7870. The 7870 XT, by contrast, featured the more powerful Tahiti GPU.
Geforce 4 was in a league of its own. JK. My Gigabyte G1 Gaming Super OC 980 Ti which I got at release lasted me 7 years and shockingly it could even handle a few 4K games at 60 fps. Crash Nsane Trilogy can actually run at 4K 60 fps max settings on a 980 Ti which is insane for how good it still looks today granted the game is super linear but still the fact that it could run maxed out on a 980 Ti is crazy
GTX 750ti for me is the best value card I ever owned i was playing at 720p at the time s the card was so powerful for that resolution it lasted me almost 4 year until i upgraded to 1070ti.
I loved my 6600GT and 8600GT back in the day i would buy used off Ebay but then paid a friend £20 for a ATI X800 XT 256mb he never sold me his parts for what they were worth lol. I built my own rigs but didnt play demanding games so only needed mid range cards back then. But my RX580 8GB was the beast got it in 2020 when it was what 4 years old ?? Only just uograded to a RX6600
Many people are mentioning the GTX 970 but forget the whole 3.5GB VRAM thing so wouldnt consider that, maybe the RX 480 as it was 8GB VRAM for 199 or the GTX 1080/Ti
My Most memorable GPUS (Owned) Not counting Voodoos or pre 3D cards. GF 2 MX 400( First ever 3D Card) GF 4 MX 440 ATI 9700 Pro (First and fave ATI Card) GF 9800 GT GF 6200 LE ( Big backwards step after 9800GT Stolen! :( ) GF 7900GT ( Backwards but forwards haha ) GF 8400GS ( Temp card, was a big bag of shit ) GF 450GTS ( i had the fucking GDDR3 Variant :( ) GTX 550ti ( First GDDR5 Card, could play at reasonable RES ) GTX 660 ( First Keplar GPU, little monster actually ) GTX 670 ( BF3 Made me do it, was a MSI Frezzr) GTX 780GHZ ( Fastest GPU i could buy a gigabyte GHZ Edition) GTX 780ti DHS ( Fastest card and Clocked GPU in the world) GTX 970SLI ( first SLI build , was very impressed with scaling tbh ) GTX 980SLI ( OCUK returned all the 970s due to vram, so i upgraded) GTX 980TI SLI ( went for two ref Malis , ranked no1 Overclocker in the the UK with these for a couple months ( with a 5930K ) GTX 1070 ( wife left me lol, so this was what i could afford at the time) RTX 2080 ( the enthusiast in me couldnt leave the upgrade ) RTX 2080S ( Minor upgrade RMA replacement ) Not bought a thing since , no way im upgrading to another 8GB GPU for more than £500 quid .... FUCK NVIDIA!!!!!!!!
I know im not on about graphics cards but on the subject of graphics personally I think the focus on graphics is ridiculous when we still have brain dead AI and glassy eyed souless npcs blankly staring at us still spouting the same dialogue over n over and not reacting to things we do, physics havent advanced in years and all we hear about is AI helping graphics and Fps, how about AI actually helping intelligence? I just wish we'd look at other areas to focus the spotlight on.
@Thrashman138 I get ya but wish digital foundry would make a video about NPC AI, crowd AI, physics etc cus as cool as Ray tracing and path tracing etc are visuals are already very good and we're last console generation even, theres so much more to focus on now than visuals but yeah I get ya.
The 3060Ti, power beyond a 1080Ti, same power as a 2080, for around £450. Amazing value, I have two of them 😂 and a 3080Ti. That’s basically a 3090 for half the money.
I sprung for a 3060Ti when the prices were still absurd since I was doing a mid-range build, and unfortunately dropped about $900 on one because that was all I could find. Everything else was *more*. Then about a year later they came back down to MSRP. Feeling so salty about that.
1080ti lasted me unnaturally long.
The best raster card out there
That card has aged very well.
@@JD-tj1rt Sorry to hear that.
A few friends of mine stil rockin' that 8G 1080 almost like new, its insane how well it was built.
Still using a pair of them in SLI.
A shame nvidia keeps trying to "help update" games that support SLI just to try to force people to buy their new junk.
Most memorable cards for me:
- ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB (Half-Life 2 era!)
- Geforce 6600 GT (comparable mid-range NVIDIA)
- Geforce 8800 GTX (way ahead of its time, lasted ages)
- Geforce GTX 1080 (and agreed, Ti was an even harder hitter, but my 1080 lasted for ages and crushed previous SLI builds)
Currently rocking an RTX 4080 bought on a 17% discount, so it was well worth it, and personally I think it's the only 40-series worth getting, for the money, if you can find one for ~$999 like I did.
I remember loving my ATI All in Wonder 9800 Pro. I believe it performed pretty much the same as a 9800 Pro and it had a built in TV tuner so I could watch cable TV on my monitor. Got a LOT of mileage out of that as a kid, haha.
I had a 9800Pro. It was fantastic for Farcry one. Upgraded from a Ti4400. After 9800Pro I got a 8800GTX, monster of a card.
RX480 was also amazing price/performance for a long time
given you get it for 50 bucks now, it competes with 970 / 980 on the used market, whilst having ( mostly ) 8gb of vram and being still very capable.
1080ti for top tier performance at reasonable price. Gtx 970 price to performance. 780ti perf at $330.
That 1080 ti was far too good i don't think Nvidia expected it to be that good no longer own one but i bet it's still going strong today
Friends of mine all have 1080Ti's, great GPU, still holding strong. I'm just clutching my 1050Ti forever it seems.
This is the right answer and it's not even close.
Gtx 970 for me back in 2014. It costed 330.00 usd and offered 780 ti levels of performance. Back in those days that was amazing
1 year before R9 290 offered the same thing for $399.
@@ZAGAN-OZ I didn't own that card. But u I heard u could heat water with it
For me it was the 3DFX Voodoo 2. Simply because it was my first GPU, and from what I understand, was a substantial jump from the Voodoo gen1.
ATI 9800PRO, 6600/6800GT, 8800GT, 4870, 7950, R9 290/390, 750Ti, GTX970, the full Pascal lineup... RX480, RX5700... that's it...

I'd say the Radeon 9700/9800 Pro, for what it did for price/performance right as the broadband era took off.

John mentioned the 8800GT.
Just searched through my emails and found my order confirmation for that GPU (from Oct 2007) and it was only £149.99!
that was my Crysis card
Most memorable for this generation would be the 1080ti, and an honorable mention is the 750 and 970 for me.
Not the 970 due to that VRAM fiasco.
Voodoo 3.
All the power of the 3dfx Voodoo line but with top notch 2d accelleration too.
I think the 4870 was my first real gpu. Before that I used integrated or some other oddball cheap one.
my rx 580 served me well for almost 5 years, recently upgraded to a new rig featuring an rx 7900xt since it was discounted and i wanted something extremely fast for 1440p ultrawide gaming

9800 pro was my first real GPU. Before that it was PCI versions of GeForce 2 and 4 cards.
Which didn't do shit.
Rx 480
Gtx 1080ti
Both were amazing in their time.
I enjoyed my time with the 1050 Ti when that was relevant
My memorable cards are: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with the Zalman Cooler. Nvidia 7800GTX and the GTX280.
Gtx260 was popular too
The ATI 9700 for me personally. I also remember the first geforce card (256?) being a big leap but I didn't have that.
RX480 / 580 were very good cards❤
I remember being impressed with the Geforce 2 Ti as well as the 560ti when I was growing up, but neither were bought by me as I was too young(in Geforce 2 Ti's case) and too poor(in the 560ti's case), so I wonder if they were actually good examples of price/perf.

How about the Radeon HD 7870 XT?
Fot $260 you got a cut down version of the $500+ flagship HD 7970.
And PS4 had cut down 7870 XT as well
Very close! The PS4 used a cut down Pitcairn, which was what powered the regular HD 7870.
The 7870 XT, by contrast, featured the more powerful Tahiti GPU.
Got a 7970 from a friend who upgraded and ran it for a lot of years. Great card.
I'm hanging onto my GTX 970 like America is hanging onto its public transport infrastructure.

The 1080 Ti. Only now I getting the need to change for another card
ATI 9700 Pro
The GOAT of killer jaw dropping releases.
I had one, fucking lilttle monster that was at the time! if i mind right it was hanging in there for COD4 MW for my mother lol
Half-Life 2 probably ran like a dream on that bad boy. I had an ATI 9800 Pro 128MB in that era and it screamed!
Original GTX Titan for me. My first super nice prebuild was a Falcon Northwest Tiki equipped with one of those beasts.
1080ti , Pascal in my heart for life
Geforce 4 was in a league of its own. JK. My Gigabyte G1 Gaming Super OC 980 Ti which I got at release lasted me 7 years and shockingly it could even handle a few 4K games at 60 fps.

@Thrashman138 I get ya but wish digital foundry would make a video about NPC AI, crowd AI, physics etc cus as cool as Ray tracing and path tracing etc are visuals are already very good and we're last console generation even, theres so much more to focus on now than visuals but yeah I get ya.
The 3060Ti, power beyond a 1080Ti, same power as a 2080, for around £450. Amazing value, I have two of them 😂 and a 3080Ti. That’s basically a 3090 for half the money.
I sprung for a 3060Ti when the prices were still absurd since I was doing a mid-range build, and unfortunately dropped about $900 on one because that was all I could find. Everything else was *more*. Then about a year later they came back down to MSRP. Feeling so salty about that.
Ok
EVGA Nvidia gpus were zen for me
Voodoo2 really? That was the most expensive video card of its time, you might as well toss the 4090 in too then
