Widjaja · Nov 6, 2008, 04:32 AM

ATi Sapphire Radeon 9550 128Mb AGP (really, really crap as at this time I knew 0 about PCs)
GeForce Gigabyte 7600GS 256Mb AGP (did the trick at the time as I was on a 17"CRT)
ATi Sapphire X1950pro 512Mb AGP (Best and last AGP interface card I bought)
GeForce XFX 8800GT xXx 512Mb VF830 Limited Edition (Went through 3 of these, maybe something wrong with the batch the vendor was supplied)
Ati Sapphire HD4850 512Mb (no problems no hassles, good performance & the 8800GTs I was sent made this card look even better)

ShogoXT · Nov 6, 2008, 05:14 AM

ATI Xpert 128 PCI (I totally didnt know diff between PCI and AGP back then, was lucky and learned alot from its terribad drivers)
TNT2 Vanta PCI (bleh, didnt learn as much)
Geforce 2 PCI
Geforce 4 (last nvidia I will have probably, unlike the ATI drivers, the nvidia drivers didnt teach me anything, only gave me pain)
Radeon 9800SE moded to PRO (AWESOMMMMEEE, broke it though)
X800 XL
X1950 XT 256MB
HD2900XT 1GB
4850's in CROSSSFIYAAAAAA!

ShogoXT · Nov 6, 2008, 05:16 AM

Oh and after 3dfx died, I had to relearn their legacy. Bought me a couple Voodoo 2's while using Win98. A Diamond version, Pure3d version(very nice), and a QUANTUM3D OBSIDIAN 2 X-24 (MEGAAAAAAAA!!). Sold the obsidian for a profit.

In future :

ATI Radeon 5xxxx X2 (40nm

FTW !! )

Well not too much, i like to spend a lot of money in a high end VGA then use it until another with a very high and great performance will beat it.

Dixxhead · Nov 6, 2008, 05:11 PM

Ati 3D Rage II Turbo (or something like that, I think 4mb vram; I played Tomb Raider 3 and 4, aswell as Starwars: The Dark Menace on it; was running on a P2-266mhz)

Geforce 256 DDR(Creative 32mb AGP version; hell yeah. First ran it the old P2-266mhz [Hardware T&L really gave it at least another year of life]) then took it with me on my Pentium 3 800mhz upgrade).

Geforce 2 GTS(also 32mb if I'm not mistaken; used it on my P3 and when I switched to the Athlon 1700+ [where it still works today as my grandfathers PC])

Geforce 4 Ti 4200(128mb vram and Pixelshaders, I loved this cards Performance/Price-ratio, clocked the living hell out of it aswell; only ran on my AMD 1700+ for approx. 2 years though)

Ati Radeon 9800xt(256mb vram, I went for the overkill that time; along with the P4 3.00ghz. Felt it was a wrong buy because of the 9800pro giving almost the same for much less money, but it worked 3-1/2 years for me until PS 3.0 became mandatory... Sold off the whole system for a whoopin 300€ still)

Ati Mobility Radeon x600/x700(256mb each, my first venture into mobile computing; I was quite happy with laptoping [also because I've been able to achieve crazy overclocks on both GPU and CPU, reaching better performance than with my Desktop], so I decided to go for something a bit more expensive and sold the laptop (Pentium M 1.8hghz clocked to 2.2ghz) off after 4 months of usage [had it for 400€ and sold it for 350€])

Ati Mobility Radeon HD2600(256mb DDR2-Version; totally love the UVD and general AVIVO-Feautures, I'm quite happy with the bang for the buck and the overclock is awesome (500mhz to 700mhz and 400mhz to 570mhz) and modern games run at high settings at moderate resolutions [1024ish]; still I'd wish for the bottlenecks [ie rops and TMUs] and the horrible AA-Performance to be abolished... Guess I'll have to wait for the HD4xxx-Series to go mobile.)

That said, I don't think I'll ever go back to desktoping... I kind of miss the upgradability and modding, but the advantages of a mobile system are just the majority and gaming performance suffices when you have both PS3 and 360 standing right next to you, although the next laptop is likely to be a bit more expensive and faster in the graphics compartment (had this one for 900€). Waiting for USB 3.0 though, HDDs really suffer from the USB 2.0 Bandwidth limitation and eSata is not really widely available.

P.S. This post is quite bloated with sensless information about my thoughts; guess I had the time...

Dixxhead Join Date: Sep 2007 Posts: 216 (0.10/day) Thanks: 46 Thanked 19 Times in 19 Posts System Specs	Ati 3D Rage II Turbo (or something like that, I think 4mb vram; I played Tomb Raider 3 and 4, aswell as Starwars: The Dark Menace on it; was running on a P2-266mhz) Geforce 256 DDR(Creative 32mb AGP version; hell yeah. First ran it the old P2-266mhz [Hardware T&L really gave it at least another year of life]) then took it with me on my Pentium 3 800mhz upgrade). Geforce 2 GTS(also 32mb if I'm not mistaken; used it on my P3 and when I switched to the Athlon 1700+ [where it still works today as my grandfathers PC]) Geforce 4 Ti 4200(128mb vram and Pixelshaders, I loved this cards Performance/Price-ratio, clocked the living hell out of it aswell; only ran on my AMD 1700+ for approx. 2 years though) Ati Radeon 9800xt(256mb vram, I went for the overkill that time; along with the P4 3.00ghz. Felt it was a wrong buy because of the 9800pro giving almost the same for much less money, but it worked 3-1/2 years for me until PS 3.0 became mandatory... Sold off the whole system for a whoopin 300€ still) Ati Mobility Radeon x600/x700(256mb each, my first venture into mobile computing; I was quite happy with laptoping [also because I've been able to achieve crazy overclocks on both GPU and CPU, reaching better performance than with my Desktop], so I decided to go for something a bit more expensive and sold the laptop (Pentium M 1.8hghz clocked to 2.2ghz) off after 4 months of usage [had it for 400€ and sold it for 350€]) Ati Mobility Radeon HD2600(256mb DDR2-Version; totally love the UVD and general AVIVO-Feautures, I'm quite happy with the bang for the buck and the overclock is awesome (500mhz to 700mhz and 400mhz to 570mhz) and modern games run at high settings at moderate resolutions [1024ish]; still I'd wish for the bottlenecks [ie rops and TMUs] and the horrible AA-Performance to be abolished... Guess I'll have to wait for the HD4xxx-Series to go mobile.) That said, I don't think I'll ever go back to desktoping... I kind of miss the upgradability and modding, but the advantages of a mobile system are just the majority and gaming performance suffices when you have both PS3 and 360 standing right next to you, although the next laptop is likely to be a bit more expensive and faster in the graphics compartment (had this one for 900€). Waiting for USB 3.0 though, HDDs really suffer from the USB 2.0 Bandwidth limitation and eSata is not really widely available. P.S. This post is quite bloated with sensless information about my thoughts; guess I had the time... Last edited by Dixxhead; Nov 6, 2008 at 05:22 PM.
