Creative Labs Riva TNT 16MB AGP. I fell in love with OpenGL when I got that card. It was amazing at the time.

The best card I've owned...Probably my HD4850, just works, fast, and haven't had a problem with it. My old HD2900XT is runner up. Haven't been around long enough to use a 9700 Pro or anything

The X1900XT was probably my favourite card overall, I loved it! When I replaced it with an 8800GT the performance difference was actually not that great. My old 9800SE would probably have been my favourite but it wouldnt mod to a 9800 pro :shadedshu...

My favorite card of all time? The 3870x2. This won the battle between HD3xxx series vs the NV8xxx series (this being after the HD2xxx series had already been beaten by the NV8xxx series.

Ah, my 9800 Pro 128 was a great card. The stability of that card was rock solid, even with a high overclock. The day I cracked the core with an aftermarket cooler was a sad day

The card that got me into 3D Gaming...
The ATI Radeon 7200GT All-In-Wonder 32MB 128bit DDR AGP 4x.
It was an OC'd R100 based GPU.. (220Mhz Core Clock, 220Mhz Mem (440Mhz DDR) )
I loved that card so much, still works to this day although the memory is starting to wear out I think.. in some games it artifacts (like Call of Duty 2, which it can handle @ 1280x1024 2xAA, "high" Textures...)... I even tried it at 1080i and it netted me roughly 6-8 FPS in general play and 11-13FPS staring at the ground. ;-)

The best one I have owned is the one I currently own... Sapphire Radeon 4870 (512 MB). However, within the next few weeks I will upgrade to either 4870x2 or a GTX 295, depending on where nVidia chooses to price that beast. 또봐.

Ah, my 9800 Pro 128 was a great card. The stability of that card was rock solid, even with a high overclock. The day I cracked the core with an aftermarket cooler was a sad day

not sure really, either the 9800gx2 I had or my current card, a gtx260. The gx2 had higher maximun FPS, but the 260 has a higher minimum FPS.
