Pics or it didn't happen. Nah just a joke but it would be cool.

unfortunately I had no pics before the HD4850, I wasn't active in forums until 2009. I'm sure I can dig in more in my pic archives but these are the ones readily available

Cool pics thanks a lot. Especially those two vapor x Radeons in crossfire.

I can't find any photos of them in my rig :/

One of the funnest cards I've ever had, in terms of overclocking, was an XFX 8GB 290X. Absolutely awesome GPU.

infrared · Oct 27, 2016

My faviorite was a Sapphire X800GTO from over a decade ago, it was a crippled x850 but you could re-activate the disabled shaders with some conductive ink and then bios flash it to a full blown x850xt platinum edition, which was much much more expensive. I put an aftermarket cooler on it and volt-modded it, that was good fun.

MSI GTX 980 TI 6G + EK Water Block: First time experiencing sub 40C GPU load temperatures

EVGA 580 FTW WC

I really miss the true one/slot design

Zyll Goliat · Nov 3, 2016

Well I been gaming from the very begininng of time

and I had many good and some bad GPU´s but just a few of them make a giant step and big difference in my eyes......so here is my top 3:

1)Vodoo Banshee 16 Mb(Giant leap forward for 3D gaming)

2)Diamond Viper 4mb(My actual first true 3d hardware acelerator)

3)8800 GT 512mb(I Could run Crysis!!!)

ernorator · Nov 3, 2016

GeForce 2 32mb - i workd full month lawn mowing to buy it, by Creative
GeForce 4200 Ti - i won silicon lottery with this one, crazy levels of oc / XFX
290x - got this one over 2 years, and it's still high end

Kaynar · Nov 3, 2016

XFX 7970 double dissipation black edition

By far the best card i have owned, high overclock possible, silent, very good value for money (ofc a 7950 would have been even better value for money)

Also, the XFX 5870 i had before that was really good. Every other card i owned since then was nVidia (because GSync) and they have all been terrible purchaces (driver issues mostly). But what can you do when AMD's current best offering matches the gtx960 ...

Ekhm.....rx470.....rx480.....Fury......nano......Fury X

All are bettet than 960

Animalpak · Nov 3, 2016

The GTX 670 DirectCu2 TOP

Best card ever for me, faster than a GTX 680 but much cooler and quieter.

FilipM · Nov 8, 2016

9800GTX...the thing just overclocked like a champ and could beat GTX260's back in its day

alucasa · Nov 8, 2016

I direly miss single-slot GPUs.

I think I liked 7600 GTX.

But my current 760 GTX is probably my favorite and is the longest GPU in service for me.

I really hope he was kidding. Like dozens of cards are better than the 960 lol, even the old ass 7970 beats the 960 and that's what 6/7 years old?

slozomby · Nov 8, 2016

I have fond memories of my diamond monster 3d.
but my gtx 1080 is a beast.

Almighty Tahiti was release in the 22nd of December of 2011 and it is still a capable card to this day!

Unlike the 960 :roll:

DR4G00N · Nov 8, 2016

MSI TFIII R7950 3GD5/OC Boost Edition, V277 Model (full 7970 PCB). It was the second gpu I've ever bought. I got it so I could play BF3 & Crysis 2 on ultra with good FPS.

It's the sole survivor of the five 7950's I've bought and is still going strong.

I had it running with another two cards in 3-Way crossfire for a while.
