Technically my "first" was an ATI Rage 128 on my mom's old PC she handed me down, but the first one I actually bought was a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4850.

Paid about $250 for it back in 2008 and I still have it in the original build which is now used to bring to LAN parties as an auxiliary PC to run srcds and emulators.

So it went:

Well the computer we had growing up had some nvidia card in it from around 2002. It was probably a cheap card knowing my father. The funny thing is he installed the card but never plugged the vga cable into the card. So all of those years the computer was still using the intergrated graphics.

My first was an ATi Radeon 9800. It was awesome and stayed relevant for an absurdly long time, as did the Sempron it was paired with. I was very disappointed when AMD decided to skip the HD 9000 series in favour of their r naming. I was looking forward to buying a HD 9800.

Etc etc. You guys get the idea. My first GPU was the first GPU that was ever designed and branded as such. Geforce 256.

GeForce4 MX Integrated something. I had this from early 2000 up until 2008-2009.
Before that all I had was a 16Mhz CPU

>Diamond Monster 3D =/= GPU
What? What else would it be?

>>57950828
You do know that a GPU is a made up marketing term by nvidia which has a specific definition? One of the requirements for a device to qualify as a GPU is hardware T&L. None of the cards in question support HW T&L.

Before Nvidia (and AMD) started creating GPUs, we called the device a video card. Or 3D accelerator, as was the case with the early Voodoo products that also required a video card that could do 2d to work.

>>57948050
The first one I ever bought myself for gaming was the Geforce 6800GT. My family had computers with dedicated graphics before that but I never picked them out.

Hardware T&L is simply arbitrary. A GPU only has to accelerate or process calls and manipulate memory specifically to display graphics.

Then I got a GeForce GT 740.
It was a significant improvement but later I would end up buying my current card which is a GeForce GTX 1070.

Looking back, I should have purchased an RX480 because that would have been about half the price.

It's not because I have anything against NVIDIA but NVIDIA is wickedly expensive and I am a poorfag who had to spend money from Social Security.

I miss my FX5200. All I played at the time was CS1.6 / Half Life / DoD1.6, it was a little beast. I kept it for years before I got rid of it but I wish I'd framed it or something now.

>>57950961
Actually Nvidia specified that something is a "GPU" only when it supports hardware T&L and is capable of over 10 million polygons per second.

They had to add the arbitrary polygon count because the N64's GPU would actually have qualified as the first "GPU" as it supported hardware T&L well before GeForce 256 did.

I was making the point about how arbitrary the term "GPU" is as defined by Nvidia. Way to go your reading comprehension!

Any device that processes graphics is a GPU. I've even heard that the PS1's graphics chip was internally referred to as a GPU during development in the early 90s and that sure as fuck didn't do vertex acceleration.

I also had some placeholder cards, including some unnamed ISA card with 256kb of ram, S3 Virges, low class radeons and such. I'll be switching to whatever latest/greatest is next year.

I don'the care about Nvidia pr muppets like you. A video card that processes graphics is a Graphics Processing Unit. My Voodoo3 did that and so did my ATI Rage 128 and a bunch of other cards.

>>57950958
GPU moniker is usually reserved for cards which were progammable to a certain degree - first of which in consumer market was, AFAIR GeForce 256. But in all honesty, the first real GPU with vertex and pixel shader progammability was GeForce 3.

Earlier cards were simple hardware accelerators of a fixed rendering pipeline.

In the most strict definition, a GPU is a card which allows to run arbitrary CUDA/OpenCL code - essentially a consumer level vertex processor. This was later 'extended' to also mean pixel/vertex shader capable cards - so everything up to Geforce 3 counts as a GPU. Nowadays it just means 'graphics card' - just like in the good old days 'VGA' meant any card, not just the originator model by IBM.

Mine is still alive, kek. The little fan went to shit but the card still runs like new.

I don't know.
"First one" I bought for myself was an integrated nvidia I optioned in a laptop, served like 5 or 4 years, total shit, I'm surprised the computer didn't melt.
Then I got a 660ti (gigabyte), didn't last long and was covered by warranty by the seller, was replaced by an R9 270x (sapphire).
So my history is pretty recent, usually I just had hand me downs that I ripped from my parents work computers.

ATI Rage 128

I remember, I was a kid like 8 years old, but I was already in charge of making decisions around the PC
and we were planning to build a new one

and I consulted friends in school and magazines and internet at grandpas work, and riva TNT2 was the good choice

I went to ski trip with my class and when I returned we had ati rage 128
I remember how I threw a hissy fit, still feel ashamed about it
turned out the card was great, price/performance wise
and it worked forever, it did not die, it kept on rolling..

another similar card that I remember was 3870, really beast performance for amazing price, its fan died after 3 years, zip tied new one and the card worked and was replaced not because of failure, but because of replacing it... I think last year... its a card from 2007

Why didn't you get two 980 Tis? Are you poor?

ATI All-in-Wonder 9600 with Athlon 3200+ - literally only got it to watch TV on my computer, set it up and then didn't care about it. The mobo I built the computer with broke, then I got a new one and I can't remember why but I had to use integrated graphics for a while. Did absolutely no gaming with it, ironically.

Used a 15" Core 2 Duo MBP for a while, which I think had a GT (GTX?) 8800M (maybe 8600M?). Only played a Tetris clone and TF2 for a free weekend. The laptop broke a few years later.

Was forced to use an early 2000's laptop for a year or two. Never knew what kind of processor it had, just that it was garbage and slow.

Then got a Pentium 860 with an HD 7770. Mostly played TF2. Good stuff.

Quickly upgraded to an i5 3570k and a 760, which I am currently using. Has been rock-solid, if slow. Soon getting a 1060 for Chrisumasu, which I'm looking forward to, as the 760 is showing its age.
