Cirrus Logic GD5428.

I feel like so many of the asklemmy questions are covert methods to profile users, so I never give real answers.

GeForce GT 610.

It was the cheapest GPU available at the time, imagine my disappointment when I tried to run Minecraft with shaders and barely got more than a slideshow.

A Monster 2 8 MB. I remember being angry at my parents that they didn’t get me the 12 MB version. But I couldn’t formulate my anger because I didn’t understand the difference between system and GPU RAM.

Still, I was amazed how quickly weapon switching now was in Jedi Knight. And Unreal always looked thr best in Glide. And the included rotating donut demo with bump mapping was awesome! A feature that would go on to be touted as the revolutionary hot new shit even 20 years later.

A Matrox Millennium.

My dad got us a voodoo FX banshee on our home computer back in the day. I guess the first one I personally bother would have been a GTX 970

ATi EGA Wonder, it could do a whopping 640 x 350 with 16 colors!

Technically, an ATI Radeon 9800 as that was my first custom built computer in 2003. However, the ATI Rage IIc was the gpu inside my first desktop computer, an iMac G3 in 1998. But the first one I used was the VGC 12-bpp palette graphics of the Apple IIgs, where I was first introduced to computer games and upgrading the accelerator cards and memory to play new games with more demanding requirements in 1994.

I don’t know what hardware my first computer had because I didn’t even know what a GPU was at the time… But the first GPU I ever bought was the 8600 GT.

Trident VGA?

I got a 3DFX voodoo as soon as they came out. GL quake was mind-blowing.

I bought a Riva TNT

Then a GeForce 2

Then a Radeon 9000

Then for a bunch of years I just moved into laptop after laptop with discrete GPUs.

Now I still have a 1080 and a 2070 doing a little bit of light AI work and video transcoding for me. But I’m still relying on crappy laptop GPUs for all my gaming. They’re good enough.

GTX750ti>GTX1070>RX6800

Actual PC? GTX 960 4GB from MSI.
I got some random hand me down laptop with Win7 and probably some Intel iGPU

I’m amazed at how many people remember the hardware they purchased 30 years ago.

GeForce 3 Ti 200.

Combined with a athlon xp 1800+ and blistering 512 MB DDR Ram I was simply TEARING through Warcraft 3 and Half Life. Thanks mom.
