I believe I had the Riva tnt2. After that upgrading to the original GeForce 256. Was on my Intel Celeron 300A that you could overclock to a whopping 450mhz!
The first one I got was some integrated cirrus logics chip that didn't even have 3d acceleration. The first one I bought with my own money was a GeForce 7800GT in late 2005
3dfx Voodoo2, followed by a Riva tnt2. Good times were had.
ATI Mach32 EISA. It looked to good on paper, but somehow, it did not make DOS go brrrrrr ๐
Oh man, talk about bringing me back in time. My first card was a voodoo 2.
A Cirrus Logic, on VLB on my 486DX/40, with 4 MB of RAM, and a SoundBlaster card. December 1994.
Mine was an ELSA Erazor III LT (the name somehow stuck). It was an offer that was bundled with horribly bad and clumly mechanical shutter 3D goggles. I remember trying Half Life with it. It was rattling all the time and the 3D effect was mediocre.
I have no idea what i had in my earliest PCs, but the first 3d graphics card was the 3dfx Orchid Righteous 3d.
AMD Radeon 6300M.
Or if mobile doesn't count: GTX 1060-6GB
First custom pc I got had a NVIDIA 6600 gt
I had an s3 virge card. Amazingly bad, it basically was no faster than cpu rendering, but looked a bit better. I spent so much time trying to trick games into running on it.
My dad got us a voodoo FX banshee on our home computer back in the day. I guess the first one I personally bought would have been a GTX 970
Riva TNT 16MB, brand name Elsa, card called Erazor.
A GeForce 9 series
That would be a gt 8800. It was a gift from a friend when I build my first pc.
With some tweaking, it ran great for years even though it was quite old by the time it was given to me. It had some features I kinda miss in newer gpu's
It was some on board gpu with my super amazing AMD K6-2, it couldn't even run mega man X without chugging. Then a friend gave me an S3 Virge with a glorious 4mb vram.
Intel i740. Awesome bang for buck card in the late 90s!
As a teen in the 2010s, my first GPU was an Nvidia 680m in a Sager (Clevo) laptop.
That thing could power through just about anything I'd throw at it. Good times.
Actual PC? GTX 960 4GB from MSI.
I got some random hand me down laptop with Win7 and probably some Intel iGPU
