Geforce 4 TI 4200 64 MB AGP 8x PNY
Geforce 4 TI 4200 128 MB AGP 8x MSI?- 64 MB one died lol
Geforce 6800 GS OC EVGA
Geforce 7800 GT EVGA - RMA'ed the 6800 and got this back from EVGA
Geforce 8800 GTS 512 EVGA
Geforce GTX 285 EVGA - I've had it for a few weeks now, little over double my 8800's performance. Good stuff so far
Pretty weak list but hey I'm only 24, it'll grow heh.
------------------------------Upcoming Overdue Build: Dual-socket workstation, ~32 GB DDR3, OS on a fast SSD, high-end GPU, all wrapped up in a huge tower case. Coming H2 2011.
Yes, I am actually still running the Pentium III 1.0B Coppermine in the picture.

Matrox Mystique (dont remember specifics)
3dfx Voodoo 3 16mb
GF 2 GT 32mb (pretty sure thats what it was, 2000 seems so long ago.
GF4 TI 4200 (at this point I have a better memory)
GF 6800GT 256 agp
ATI Radeon HD2600 (last ditch effort to upgrade aging p4 platform) after reformatting and 2 different cards, a new PSU, I couldnt get the a driver that worked right, wierd texture issues, like the mapping was off, on every game) ultimately returned
GF 7800gs sad thing is I never really got any use out of it, this PC ended up going to my gf as I said screw it and built a new PC, after rocking my frankenstein PC that was just upgraded and hodgepodged from pc's that were given to me over an 8 year period. As of january 2008, one of the HDD's in it was from 1998 (recently died the other day as my girlfriend wondered why her pc was clicking and freezing, that thing lasted 11 years, what a hard drive)
GF 8800GT 512 (G92)
GF 9800GTX + 512 (freebie to me, included it in the cost of a system I built for my mom gave her my 8800gt kept the 9800gtx+ not that she would ever even utilize the 8800gt)
I intend to try ATI again in the future, perhaps with my latest planned build, but that experience still sits in my mind. Never once did I have an issue like that with an nvidia card.
FX 5200 256MB -> FX 5500 256MB -> x1950PRO 256MB -> 8800GT 512MB -> 4870 1GB
I've also aquired a few other cards that weren't used in my main system: Matrox G200, x700 256MB, 7300GT 256MB, 7650GS 256MB, HD2600XT 256MB, and a broken 7600GT 256MB.
IGP in my Compac 486 sx 25
ATI Rage 8 MB
Asus 7700 or some such cant remember for sure
TNT 64 Cougar not sure about the name
Asus 5200 FX
ATI 9800 128
6800 GT
7600 GT
1950 pro
8800 GTS 320
8800 GT
ATI 4870 512
I am missing a few I am sure.......

Matrox PCI 1Mb I can't remember the name of it. 3DFX Voodoo 1 (will we ever see a revolutionary piece of hardware like this ever again?) Savage S2000 GeForce 2MX GeForce Ti200 Geforce FX5600 Radeon 9600 Pro GeForce 6800GT (broke quickly after purchase) GeForce 6600GT Radeon X1900 XT GeForce FX5500 (stop gap solution) GeForce 8800GT
A good 10 years of video card history there. Averages out 1 card a year, although the Voodoo 1 wasn't really a video card per sae more of a video accelerator that worked with your existing hardware. Still it makes the list for being so ground breaking, GTX295 SLI my kisss my arse, Voodoo 1, that's were it's at!

1: S3 Virge DX 4meg (This card was awsome ! lol)
2: Riva TNT2 32Meg (winfast)
3: Geforce 2 MX (was pretty awful)
4: nvidia 4200ti (I had this card for ages)
5: Ati X800
6: 8800GTS 512meg (I spilt water all over this, and broke it )
7: Zotac 9800GTX (I plan on keeping this one for a while)
Nvidia 6600GT 256mb AGP (256mb GT models were rare so I was chuffed at having one)
Nvidia 7600GT 256mb PCI-E (wow this thing was easily 2-3 times faster than the old GT, maxed F.E.A.R lol)
Nvidia 7900GT 256mb PCI-E (Even od'd to 700mhz core/850mhz mem was not the upgrade I thought it would be, never had any affection for it)
ATI Radeon 2900 Pro (Heard it was an overclocking legend, died after 24 hours though, curse you Ebay)
ATI Radeon 4870 512mb (got one as soon as they were available, the sheer power was unbelievable. From what ive seen of crysis, its easily between 4 to 6 times (with cat 9.2 id say about 4.5 to 7 times) more powerful than my heavily oc'd 7900gt in the exact same comp. I almost wet myself lolz plan on keeping it for 3 years - so until july 2011 - and let it grow old gracefully like all those 8800GTX owners have been able to do)
Unless its a pig 2900xt style I intend on getting whatever ATI have got for 200 quid in summer 2011.
First, whatever was in a 386, then a 1MB card in a Cyrix P150+ system a friend built for me.
After that, I began to learn and upgrade on my own,..............
Diamond Stealth II S220 4MB PCI - Rendition Verite V2100
Canopus Spectra 2500 16MB AGP - nVidia TNT
Diamond Monster Voodoo 2 12MB PCI - 3Dfx
Diamond Monster Voodoo 2 12MB PCI - 3Dfx
(Had all three in one system with the 2 Voodoo's in SLI)
Voodoo 3 3000 16MB AGP - 3Dfx Voodoo 3
Canopus Spectra 7400 32MB AGP - nVidia Geforce 256 NV10
(This card was not available in the US. A Japanese friend arranged for it to be sent over.)
