as the title says what is the best worst video card you have ever owned and why,
For me the worst card would be hands down the Geforce FX 5200, It was about 6 years ago, I was upgrading from a plain Geforce 3 and wanted to hop on the DX9/OpenGL2 train, so I bought the 5200 and "expected" better performance I mean, I litterally skipped the G4's so I put it in my pc, my new AGP8X, that was so pimp back then, and my performance was actually dropped and I looked on all the forums and it verified that this 5200 was a piece of crap, but I stuck with it and a little while later it just died, sitting in my closet right now, been there for the last 5 years or so, bought a 9800PRo to replace it and it just smoked it
That 1 card made me stop buying Nvidia cards until I got my Geforce 7950GT
The best card I have had was the X850, I actually still use it in my media HTPC
