I'm still using the colder version of it, and it's not that bad.
Noah Butler
I was still using a radeon 9700 pro then
Luis Hill
My first ever GPU (that wasn't an integrated piece of shit like the Nvidia 6150 LE) was a GTS 8800 640MB.
It died on me so I got a replacement 9800GT+ from EVGA which I then used the 90 day step up program and got a free GTX 260.
Sold that GTX 260 and then got a HD 6870 which I hated and then got a GTX 660 Ti which I then upgraded to a GTX 780 which ended up performing terribly after like 2 years due to awful Nvidia support for Kepler CPUs, and now I own a GTX 1080 that I got new for $420 before the bitcoin shit.

I would say it's the Titan of your youth.
The like the Ti but slightly faster.
The 8800GTX 630M XXX was like the Ti of the G80 over the regular 575MHz 8800GTX.

Man those xfx cards were the shit.
Why cant card makers put cool prints on cards anymore....
Julian Evans
While not as good as the Voodoo 5, I still like my still working Creative Voodoo 2 12MB cards.
They might not be as fast but they were work horses.
While some praise the 8800GT/GTS the 8800GTX didn't cripple as soon as you raised AA and resolution like the 8800GT or GTS.
Sadly it died from VRM death so I tried to give it a fish funeral.
It didn't work, but it inspired a cult thing we now call water cooling.
Colton Scott
RIP BFG you were so good to me
Andrew Hernandez
IIRC, remember how big a deal it was with how large the 8800 series was? Wasn't it the first of the new super high-end category of cards?
Aaron Jackson
Well the generation before that we had the 7800/7900 GX2 cards, so I'd say no. Dual-slot big-die video cards were expected by the 8xxx generation, at least at the high end.
David Howard
First GPU I ever bought with my own money was the 6600GT 256MB. Played CoD4 on it on my Pentium 4 prebuilt. Good times.
John Richardson
1080 Ti of my youth. You can tell it was my youth because i was only able to buy one 19 years later.
Levi James
Literally came here to post this card, but it was the first one I bought. My first pc built by my dad had an ATi Rage Pro Turbo in it, whopping 8mb we played Halflife on that shit and loved it
Funny thing was, the Rage Pro Turbo could not render fog so when I went online in HL and played maps like gasworks that had underwater parts I could see players across the map that could not see me and I racked up a lot of kills just hiding in the water the whole time.
Anthony Price
i should have bought a novidea gpu instead i went with this ayyyyymd

I know how to use nvidia's drivers so had no problem with at least 290% scaling forcing afr2 quadgpu spec and the right sli profile.
Jack Moore
1080ti of your youth would probably be the amd hd 4890 that wiped these cards that gen

The 1080ti of my... Okay so I was 22, but it's the first gpu i remember buying that wasn't ati rage pro
Jace Reed
Right? In my youth AGP was the card slot that was 'hard' to come by at first (ISA was the dominant slot) so when I see all these PCI-E cards it makes me feel old af, especially considering the first gpu i ever bought when i was out on my own was an AGP GeForce 6800 Ultra 256MB card for like $400
Robert Johnson
I ran these in sli. Full load 92c
Chase Wright
8800 GTS was great.
Matthew Long
PCI/AGP was all the rage in my younger days. A lot of pre-built's didn't have AGP so PCI was it. Didn't really mater though cause back then (Mid 90's - 2000s) games really didn't push the pci bus to the limit. That came around 2003+. Godly card, pic related. Around 2004 I paid $400 for a 6800GT. Still got her today. Still got the Voodoo to.
