This baby ran Half-Life 1 at 1024x768
My big brothers first GPU.
That thing CAN NOT run Morrowind.
My brother promised me it could, and being 13 and not as smart as he was, I belevied him.
To think that we now play multiplayer OpenMW on our phones.
inb4 bungholio marks.
>4MB
>SGRAM
jesus christ
>that madman who actually made a mock BitchinFast3D and software
It wasn't much of a GPU though. Not a complete embarrassment like ViRGE but it couldn't run half of the games at the time.
Battletoad force?
Monster1 was my first ever GPU. And i think Turok was the first game to test ot out. Oh boy
Why did box art become so shit for a while?
No way a 9600GT had hdmi or displayport
The same reason it is shit now, pandering to underage morons (gamers).
GAMERS
classic
>nvidia XFX
fuck you, nvidia, fuck you
wanted to quote sorry
sorry
why did companies stopped putting waifus on GPUs?
because things like this screamed and threw shit on the wall until they got their way
first graffix card I ever bought had mermaidfu
Any answer but radeon 4850, nvidia 8800 or 970 are invalid.
Probably to save a few pennies that it would cost to put artwork on the video cards.
>we play openmw on our phones
Speak for yourself, fagit
Imagine being this dude on the cover
It's 100% not CGI
Looks like a pedophile
my first gpu
Ya know i kinda miss this aesthetic
This single-slot bad boy was the hottest thing around.
Bullshit, they stopped adding waifus way before normies gave enough shit about vidya to be a viable target for feminist lobbying (and that wasn't much of a thing either back then).
Go back.
looks like a 2D drawing
Crash Bandicoot and The Grratifying Gym
Go away Jow Forums, spouting literal bullshit
Looks like a DUDE with a MAKEUP
i wish this was real
XFX has this weird dog mascot for awhile.
It was my first card and being able to have 2 monitors was based as fuck in 2007
It is
I wonder what kind of electro house shes listening to
Who is this?
An elf? A butterfly? A woman? A human?
holy fuck that's some nightmare fuel
not the clown but 4mb SGRAM
I burned this one during a driver update.
I miss you.
nope
I give this post a 3.5/4
>2 or 4 MB base boards, upgradeable to 8 MB
>upgradeable
where did we go wrong
S3 Virge + 3Dfx voodoo 1 was the shit.
I have this one, don't keep the box I think, but for sure I have the palit 9600 and the palit 250 gts. afterwards, and I can only remember the vga, too bad I am not at home this week so I can't check it out.
XFX 6600GT. That box was amazing.
GeForce5200 FX 128MB, only PCI (not PCIe)

It literally said it could run doom 3
fucking lie
Fuck that
jews.
>technical reason
jews and board layouts. memory like hbm can't be upgradable. it has to be fused to the interposer and directly connected to the core. its one of the reasons why it provide so much bandwidth.
gddr* is layed out the way it is because of maximizing shorter trace routes. for improved performance and latency. to have it upgradeable would mean it needs to have its own socket and the socket would have to be placed far away to not interfere with the cooler and everything else on the board. its just better to have it soldered on in an efficient layout.
>purple
yup, you had to be gay to buy the fx series from gayvideo. only straight men bought glorious ati 9000 series like the 9600 pro and 9800 pro.
>Someone actually built one of these things
Its about as lol-worthy as that one silly 3dFX card that had like 32 individual graphics processors on it.
don francisco?
>Oscar-Meyer 350
Wat
No way man look at the hand that’s a drawing as fuck
this pretty much
DEFENDERS OF GAAYYYMMEERRSSS
is that Gabe's son?
Man she sure dances like she's white.
Maybe you do, but I like my Morrowind experience to not suck.
>literal kek card
no shit she's a fairy, wtf did you expect?
ALL HAIL THE OG ONE
where my frog posters at
This has to be the most glorious box art I've ever seen.
imagine in 2030 looking at cards of these days. will it be the same feeling ? like " oh wow we have come a long way " or the improvements will not be so big ?
>wow dad, people actually used to build their own computers?
>isn't that illegal?
So many dragons
Still have these in un opened boxes
VTX kept using Ruby on their cards for ages.
Saying the phrases "pol" or "Jow Forums" should be an autoban, because literally only Israeli astroturfers tell people to go there.
That's a drawing
>When your video card is 3X longer than your case
How did they expect anybody to use this? To just leave your motherboard lying on a big table?
>using a case
lol. I bet you buy a case for your raspberry pi too
What's with the hablo speak?
Hey, the upside is automatic cooling for 2/3s of your card. And getting a fan for it would be easier since you could get any desktop model. :p
Fuck yeah
Mine had vga and dvi
Same here, with my 1st tax return, got it at Sam's club lol.
I had a FX5200 too, 128MB with 128bit bus. I used to play Cod2 online with it (ran fine on dx7 mode, dx9 was fine in single player but slow as balls in mp)
That unironically looks better
It was a joke advertisement for a product that didn't exist
It was basically saying "why buy all these separate cards when you can buy all of them on a single card" or some shit
>Restricting your system with a case
No compromises means no compromises. If you have to worry about physical space then you're making a compromise

a new piece i added to my collection recently
think again about "the hottest thing around"
may i present to you my HD 4870x2
most of these cards are dead because one of the gpus is cooled by exhaust from the other
9200/9250 was a total piece of shit. Gutted 8500.
im working on it
got a 4870 and did a little refurb, working on getting a custom decal for the shroud
yes but the cooler says MSI and that makes it rad as fuck
most of my gpus arent anything crazy impressive, theyre just cards i think cool cool
i have a duke nukem forever gtx 560, just because its a duke nukem gpu and i find that awesome
It's very sad that that quote can be real in some years thanks to Apple
