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.
First computer I built had a BFG 7600gt with the first upgrade I ever did was a BFG 8800gt
Miss BFG and EVGA for nvidia cards.
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.
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.
Trident TGUI9440 on a VL-bus card. Surprisingly peppy on a 486/66 overclocked to 80.
ATi EGA Wonder, it could do a whopping 640 x 350 with 16 colors!
A GeForce 9 series
AMD Radeon 6300M.
Or if mobile doesn't count: GTX 1060-6GB
Actual PC? GTX 960 4GB from MSI.
I got some random hand me down laptop with Win7 and probably some Intel iGPU
Voodoo Monster 3D
Edit: wait I misread the assignment. Thatβs the first 3D accelerator I bought. I have no idea what my first gfx card was it was like 37 years sgo.
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.
GTX 760 Ti --> GTX 1060 Ti --> RTX 3080/RX6750 XT
SiS 6326 with 8MB.
It was 1999 but I had a very limited budget, around $400, for the entire system. This was my first AGP card.
The Wikipedia article says that this was not supported well by Linux but that's just not the case. It was the first card for Linux and FreeBSD that I had which let me view more than 256 colors. I ran KDE 1.x and then XFce.
Something happened between then and 2001 where I got a GeForce 2 MX 400 which ran fine with FreeBSD for many years.
GTX 650 Ti Super used for 80 bucks. Love that card and man did it get me through tough times.
For my first gaming rig (gift)? GTX 980.
With my own money? 2080 TI
