System Specs

Company = 3dfx
GPU = vsa100
SKU = voodoo 5 5500 pci pc

testament to this gpu is the fact it still runs to this day. Not only that it's a very decent card to have if you want to play old 16bit colour games in a modern machine. PCI specifications haven't changed


Company = ATI

GPU = r300

SKU = 9700pro agp.

Probably the second longest lived of all my working gpu's I was using it in a system with no need to upgrade for a very long time. I got it in the release year, and the card that replaced it was an ati x1950pro. That equates to about 5 years of working life.

This is the ATI Radeon 9500 that was soft-modded through drivers to a 9700 with great success...

Company: SapphireTech
Card: ATI Radeon 9500 Atlantis AGP 8X 128MB DDR Video Card w/TV-Out & DVI
SKU: Not available

Cost, in Jan 2003: $158.99

Supplanted by an X800GTO in 2005, which was also a great card.

My Lovely ASUS 9999/TD which served me well until 2010, when I got my laptop, and shortly after that, it began artifacting. :P

A GeForce 6800 AGP 8x with 128MB DDR. (Only ran at 4x due to motherboard limitation)


Edit: Also taken a like to the AMD APUs.

I got loads of love for my5870Hd 1gig memory brand vtx3D because for the money its a stomper , ,bought on release day and still does 1050 core clock 24/7 stable and has folded for 2 years non stop.
Second would be the 64mB matrox m3d 3d only add in co processor (it had no outputs for gfxs) I had it in a p75 olivetti envision desktop pc to play duke nukem 3d niiice.
