Whats your graphics card history???

jaxxxon · Nov 5, 2008

Mine is about 10 years old I think.

1. MX440
2. Radeon 9600pro
3. GeForce 6600
4. X1900XT
5. ASUS HD4850

Normally upgrade every 2 years or so. Or when something comes along that blows my card away, which most of those cards did to the previous one (apart from 9600pro, which made little difference, but I didn't know much then)

Darknova · Nov 5, 2008

Geforce
Geforce 2 MMX440 (i think, was much younger then)
Geforce 4 TI4400
Geforce 4 TI4800

ATi 1950XT
