What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

I have to say that my current PNY RTX 5070ti is my favorite card of all time. I don't know if the air flow in my Corsair Frame 4000x is just really that good, but that card is whisper quiet even playing stuff like Borderlands 4, Cyberpunk 2077 and DA:V. Even when the fans ramp up I can barely hear them.

Another DA:V player! I'm going through that game now. Is it as good as the prior games in the series? No, not really. Am I still having a good time playing it? Yes, absolutely.

My biggest gripes with that game are 1) A lot of lore seems directly contradictory to what was established in earlier games, and 2) it has a memory leak that makes it crash for me pretty consistently every hour or 2 with the eye candy ramped up -- and this is unlikely to ever get fixed :(.

I enjoyed all of the previous DA games and have really enjoyed the game play in Veilguard. I haven't experienced any crashes and I only have the last battel to complete.
 
Hi All
I have to say the EVGA GeForce 8800GTX is my favorite card of all time. I always give away cards when I upgrade, the one exception, the GeForce 8800GTX. The card is still working as it's in my Windows Legacy machine.
 
I have soft spots for two cards:

The Creative 3D Blaster PCI — it was my first, and as a Rendition card it meant I was playing 3D-accelerated Quake before all the 3dfx latecomers.

The GeForce 256 — it wasn't just the first GPU (according to Nvidia's definition), it was a big leap in overall performance.
 
My favorite video card:

ATI Rage LT Pro on my Compaq Presario. Piece of shit but got me into 3D gaming. Prior, my only experience was the PSX. Bilinear filtering, running Tomb Raider 2 at 1024x768 and seeing how clear it could look while playing better than my PSX was my gateway drug.

Next card after was the Radeon 9700pro. Lasted me quite a while.

Currently my favorite card is a GTX-1070 I bought used for $100. Still using it. Plenty for our Plasma.

Since Pascal, video cards just haven't been exciting.

Same with my first GPU - Geforce 2 MX 400 64MB PCI.

I used to play a game called "Emperor: Battle for Dune". It needed a 3D accelerator to work. Intel Integrated Graphics was plenty to run it, but not well. You could not run it on high as the framerates were way too low. I got this idea that maybe a graphics card might help it run faster. An $80 GPU moved the game from a good experience at 800x600 medium settings on the Intel Integrated Graphics.... to 1280x1024 at highest settings. From that point forward, I was a PC enthusiast.
 
Ahh, memory Lane. My 1080 Ti is still running my VR setup until I can replace the headset and use my current computer. Sadly my 4600 Ti was sold for my 6600 GT, the SLI adapter for the Voodoo 2 was sold for the Geforce 2 MX 32, and that was sold for the 4600. My 8800 GTX cooked itself but came with a free 9800 GTX replacement (thank you BFG) and that was given to a family member when I got the 5850. All have been awesome for different reasons but I still hold the 4600 Ti was my most transformative. That poor thing went through hell and kept on giving lol.

ya didnt mention the first pic. only bugging cause might be my pick
 
I had Voodoo 2 in SLI as well and while it was great I was also an image quality guy and was actually quite happy when all in 1 video cards meant you didn’t need 3 slots used and did not have to settle for imperfect image quality. 3dfx made you realize that 3d pc gaming was going to be awesome and viable and not lagging behind arcades and consoles.
The other memorable early card was the original 9700xt which I bought before half life 2 came out. The early leak build was poorly optimized and janky but it blew my mind as a generational leap forward. Nothing else on any platform looked and played like that. A lot more people got the later 9800 / xt but those were just minor iterations on the 9700 and a bit of a disappointment to me, expecting another generational leap forward. I was a video card junkie and bought and sold pretty much every video card in that era or got to borrow them from friends and family or play with them when doing custom builds for others. Voodoo, early geforce cards and the 9700xt are my standouts in retrospect.

7970 was a great card! And it kept staying solid for sooo long. Nothing for a while after it really moved the needle far enough ahead for me to justify the cost :eek: Until the 1080 Ti. Which I ran till the 50XX series turned out to be vaporware lol. But the 7970 was a solid card.
