Two or three 2/4MB VGAs (dont remember names)
S3 Trio 3D/2X
VooDoo 3 3000 PCI (so hot!)
Geforce 2 mx200
Geforce 2 mx400 32MB
Geforce 2 mx400 64MB
Geforce 4 mx440
Geforce 4 Ti4800se (GREAT card for its days)
Geforce 7600GS AGP (died while the core was running @810Mhz [400 stock] with 125C temp)
ATi Radeon HD2600 PRO AGP (BAD driver support)
ATi Radeon HD3650 AGP
Ati Radeon HD4850 512MB

Dude by the time the 2400 was out you should have been PCI-E. Anything AGP then would be a relic.

Too bad I couldn't vote for my S3 Trio 1 full MB (expandable to 2 MB!) and the Intel i740 which almost stood up to Voodoo II (in a few hand-chosen Intel tests, and only for 18 months)

gayan · Sep 18, 2009

Pre Historic :

Tseng Labs 1MB something on my 486
SiS 2MB something
S3 Trio 3D/2x 8MB

Modern age

nVidia geForce 2 MX400 64MB DDR -ST-Lab (Dead)
nVidia geForce FX5200 128MB DDR -ASUS (RMAed; got the 6200)
nVidia geForce 6200 128MB DDR -ASUS (Sold)
nVidia geForce 8600GT 512MB DDR2 -Inno3D (Sold)

sweet poll, I've owned some of the most popular, nv 8800gt, ati 9800 pro, ati 1950 pro.

Can't wait to see how this progresses, and WTF with all the fx 5200 owners... lol.

some ppl might think it was the best card around that time judging by the votes

entropy13 · Sep 18, 2009

I've only been through 4 graphics cards, I can't remember the first two though. So I vote GeForce 6600 and Radeon HD 4870.

[I.R.A]_FBi · Sep 18, 2009

4850 is pretty popular

[Ion] · Sep 18, 2009

Radeon 9000

Radeon 9600 Pro

Radeon 9800 XT

Radeon X850 Pro (flashed to XT)

Radeon HD 2400 (forgot to vote on that)

Geforce FX5600 Ultra

Geforce FX 5900 Ultra

Geforce 6800GT OC

Geforce 7300LE

Geforce 8600GTS

Geforce 9600GSO

As well it should be. Its one of the best cards I've ever seen. Some of you may balk at me but my second favorite is the X800 followed by the 8800GT. Not that the X800 would beat the 8800GT by any means. Its just the X800 was a tank. It just seemed like the last of the old school GPUs. We have gone pretty damn fancy in cooling since then.

Anyway I've always felt the 4850 was a better buy than the 4870. The minor performance increase was never justified by the price.

[I.R.A]_FBi · Sep 18, 2009

I have a 4830, got it for 65$, couldnt refuse

wiak · Sep 18, 2009

2001 Geforce 2 MX
2003 Geforce 4 Ti4800SE 128MB (crappy card thats why i went ATi)
2004 Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB
2005 Radeon X800 XT 256MB
2006 Radeon X1800 XT 512MB

dieselcat18 · Sep 19, 2009

GeForce FX5200...LOL

ATi Radeon 9800Pro 256mb (maybe my all time favorite card, it's still running great in my wife's PC)

ATi Sapphire X800 TX PE

eVGA 7900GTX

FOXCONN 8800GTX (Factory OC'ed)

ASUS EAH4870 512mb (awesome card)

HIS 4890 1GB (another great card)

I still have every one of these cards with all original packaging except for the FX5200 and the X800. Don't ask me why, I guess I just like the box art (the 9800Pro is my favorite) and it makes for a cool collection.

T3kl0rd · Sep 19, 2009

I have had 3 of those cards but they all have been PCI or AGP. No PCI-e cards yet unfortunately.

FX 5500 - PCI

8500GT - PCI

HD 3850 - AGP 4x

ToTTenTranz · Sep 20, 2009

I understand the lack of pre-DX9 cards, but there's no excuse for the HD4890 not to be there

Also, there should be a Crossfire/SLI option, like "Geforce 6000 SLI" and "Radeon HD4000 Crossfire" at the end of each family.

But I'm not filling that until the HD4890s aren't there

Also, the GMA 3000 and 4000 would be cool.

LittleLizard · Sep 20, 2009

5200 and 5500 geforce
8600gt geforce
And one that is not there, an intel graphics 850

This poll was created about 4 months before the release of the 4890 and has been inactive for some time with no posts made since June up until two days ago. I doubt the TC has updated it because the 4890 was so new. You'll also notice there isn't a GTX275 on the poll either..... and a CF & SLi category really has nothing to do with what this poll is about.

You're right, I though it was created somewhere in September.

Ok so here's my list:

- Creative Voodoo 2 8MB.
- Savage 4 32MB (unkknown brand)
- Creative Riva TnT2 M64 32MB
- Creative Geforce SDR 32MB
- Asus Geforce DDR 64MB
- ATI Radeon 8500
- Powercolor Radeon 9700 Pro
- Geforce 6800GT
- 2*Geforce 6800GT SLI (bought the second one some months later).
- Powercolor Radeon X1900XT
- Club3D Geforce 8800GT (only for a few weeks, for testing)
- Sapphire 2*HD3870 Crossfire
- Sapphire 2*HD4890 Crossfire + HD3300 IGP (790GX).

In my laptop I've had a Geforce 7900GS 256MB and later I changed to a Quadro FX2500 512MB, My Eeepc has a GMA950 (like all the others..).

That's it. It's a pretty long list

I think I'll wait and see when GT300 might be released before I update.

inf3rno · Oct 20, 2009

Yes lot of ppl waiting for GT300 and have delayed the purchase of 5870 or 5850.
