An Nvidia GeForce 6200. It could run assassin's creed, the first one.

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

I had an ATI all in wonder 9600. That card was very unique because it also had a built in TV tuner and AV capture card that could turn your PC into a DVR of sorts. It went into an agp slot before PCIe was a thing.

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!

3dfx Voodoo2, followed by a Riva tnt2. Good times were had.

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.

For my first gaming rig (gift)? GTX 980.

With my own money? 2080 TI

ATI Mach32 EISA. It looked to good on paper, but somehow, it did not make DOS go brrrrrr ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

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.

I have no idea what i had in my earliest PCs, but the first 3d graphics card was the 3dfx Orchid Righteous 3d.

Intel i740. Awesome bang for buck card in the late 90s!

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.

GTX 1060 in a laptop. I still have it.

[โ€“] feef@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

First custom pc I got had a NVIDIA 6600 gt

[โ€“] koncertejo@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Radeon 7770.

[โ€“] Estebiu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

rx580. still have it on top of a shelf.

[โ€“] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

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
