List Your Favorite GPU

[T4C Fantasy]

hey everyone, I would like people who are interested, to post which gpu is their favorite.
list with the company, gpu, and sku

Company = EVGA, Sapphire etc.

GPU = GTX 680, HD 7970 etc.

SKU = Referance, Superclocked!, TOXIC etc.
sometimes even this info is not enough so list the memory amount aswel ^^

or you can just list your current card and I will add it to the gpu db

 

[TRWOV]

HIS Radeon HD3850 IceQ 3 Turbo AGP 512MB GDDR3 256bit
http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-358.shtml

Held me on for about 3 years before going PCIe.

 

[Iceni]

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.

ASUS 9800GX2 TOP

I had two of these ridiculous folding beasts back then, many WU's folded until both had a tragic death in a single month span, one GPU core failure.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Hard to say...

Loved my ATi x850xt PE. Otherwise its the Amd 5850

 

[phanbuey]

my favorite is the one that is currently in my rig... because it's the fastest and provides the best graphics.

 

[Sasqui]

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 favorite is the one that is currently in my rig... because it's the fastest and provides the best graphics.

Come on man, show some nostalgia, lol

 

[agent00skid]

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

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.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

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.

 

[douglatins]

Its my current 580 Lightning
