Whats your graphics card history???

1. Intel 740 8Mb
2. GeForce 4 MX440 64MB
3. GeForce 5200 128MB
4. Intel 945G
5. GeForce 8600GT 256MB

:)

IGP doesn't count as a graphics card. It's just a video controller with 3d support. And that 8600gt is kinda outdated. Planning on getting a new GPU?
 
My graphics card history is dull compared to a lot :P

Geforce 2 MX 32mb?
Geforce 4400MX 64mb?
Geforce FX 5200 128mb
Geforce 8500GT 256mb

and a Geforce 9800GTX+ 512mb ordered, should be here in a bit ;)

I'm confused lol? do you run several rigs with same GFX cards? build several rigs for friends? REALLY unlucky with DOA cards?

I mean you've a total of 12 identical cards there?!?! Anywho, my short history:


Geforce2 MX440
Radeon 9600XT
GeForce 8600GT
Radeon HD4830


hmm... looks like it's nvidia's turn again next time :p I get "idiot of the century" award for paying FULL price a few weeks after launch for the 8600GT (£120)

Yea, what wrong with the 8800GTX? With the selling of my 3870, im practically getting it for £30. Seems good to me. And im new (ish) to all this enthusiast stuff, so an upgrade like that should teach me some stuff.

I think with the money I spent on 4850 crossfire setup I could have bought a 4870x2 with BAH IM STUPID.
 
^^ don't feel too bad, there isn't a huge enough difference between 4870x2 and 4850 crossfire to make you cry yet, + you can always sell individual cards later on or if u need to upgrade, sell one, keep one and use it :)
