Meet The Most Legendary Graphics Cards

Can you remember the graphics engines we consider worthy of commemoration as the title holders of their time? We thought it would be fun to walk down memory lane and recount the most powerful GPUs. We'll start back in 1996 with a single pixel pipeline and make our way to the present day with modern monsters capable of handling over 3000 pixel shader operations per clock!

TH

EDIT

People are complaining of "why isn't card xxx there?!" Often they are mentioned in the text accompanying one of the featured cards. It's usually because they are revised versions eg GTX 285 or didn't make the cut eg HD 2900 XT.

They do mention it in the 9700 entry. It was an enhancement of an existing design, which is why it's not the main item.

but the fact is, hardly anyone remembers the 9700 - I remember the 9700, Because i still have one. Everyone knows the 9800, it was more popular then the 9700

The 8800gt was a really awesome card too. I mean not the most powerful card but near 8800gtx preformance for a fraction of the price.

Here was my take....

I read these comments and it made me inquisitive so I clicked the link. I started the image stack and was like this is awesome. Leaders of the year and it starts off great. Then years get skipped, and then it turns into multi GPUs for card of that year, and ends up with a foursome or two to finish off the list? Looks to me like someone wasn't man enough to state an actual opinion of the top dog for each year, and became more of a well one of this half dozen is right for you isn't it?

At the end all I can say is lame, sorry:(

I never got the popularity of the 9800 line. To me it seemed too expensive. I ended up with a 9600 XT.

I had a 7950GX2 - it was awesome but drivers were still a bit buggy for dual gpu cards back then.
Where are the x850xt's?
I remember following W1zzard's guide to flashing my club3d x800 gto into an x850xt - a budget pocket rocket with pixel pipelines unlocked from 12 to 16!

I've always thought that the HD4850 was a great card. A lot of power in the mid-range market.

replace the 5970 with the 5870 and add the x800gto, 8800gt, 460gtx

i wouldn't add the 8800GT or 460. i would however argue the 8800GTS 512mb seeing how the card was reused 3 times for the 9800GTX, 9800GTX+ and GTS250

TH is BS anyways, EVERYONE knows that the 4850 redefined mainstream gaming at the $150-200 price range :D

and speaking from experience and current usage, 3 years later CrossFired 4850s are STILL somewhat viable gaming solution

they do have the 3870X2 and a pair of those still can play all modern games and is comparable to one to two modern cards depending on the game.
