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
For my first gaming rig (gift)? GTX 980.
With my own money? 2080 TI
B*tchin' Fast 3D 2000
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.
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.
Radeon 7770.
rx580. still have it on top of a shelf.
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).
First computer I built had a BFG 7600gt with the first upgrade I ever did was a BFG 8800gt
Miss BFG and EVGA for nvidia cards.
MSI 4GB version of GTX970. Upgraded a few years ago to an RX6800 and I'm stoked about both GPUs tbh
Riva TNT 16MB, brand name Elsa, card called Erazor.
My brother and I after putting our allowances together as kids got either a Voodoo 2 or 3 (can't remember anymore) in order to run quake 2 better back in 1999.
Mine was an ELSA Erazor III LT (the name somehow stuck). It was an offer that was bundled with horribly bad and clumly mechanical shutter 3D goggles. I remember trying Half Life with it. It was rattling all the time and the 3D effect was mediocre.
GTX 1060 in a laptop. I still have it.
I have no idea what i had in my earliest PCs, but the first 3d graphics card was the 3dfx Orchid Righteous 3d.
A GeForce 9 series
I had an s3 virge card. Amazingly bad, it basically was no faster than cpu rendering, but looked a bit better. I spent so much time trying to trick games into running on it.
GeForce 3 Ti 200.
Combined with a athlon xp 1800+ and blistering 512 MB DDR Ram I was simply TEARING through Warcraft 3 and Half Life. Thanks mom.
AMD Radeon 6300M.
Or if mobile doesn't count: GTX 1060-6GB
Oh man, talk about bringing me back in time. My first card was a voodoo 2.
My dad got us a voodoo FX banshee on our home computer back in the day. I guess the first one I personally bought would have been a GTX 970
Nvidia GT 9400.
Ayyyy
