    128 bit bus? damn

    ​

    Creative labs engineered some truly ground-breaking tech. I still use their sound cards.

    ​

    edited: claims on bus size of modern cards was false

  2. I had the same GPU, Half-Life going from software rendering to hardware rendering was glorious.

  3. A Matrox, I was 5 so I don’t remember the model. It was either with the 486 or Pentium 1 system.

    I had Voodoo2 SLI and a ISDN connection at my house.

    Creative Labs was such a great brand back in the day. Their GFX cards where great. I used so many of the GeForce range of theirs in builds for people. As well as my-self back in the day.

    Trying to remember did I have this. I have a blank spot in my memory on what card I had in my AMD K6-2 333

    First for me too, with Half Life.
    16Mo Ram !!!
    Can troll a friend with his K6-2 3D Now !

    Same

    Using 3dfx on ff7 broke some 3d scenes like the bike level that didn’t had fps limit and made it like 5x the normal speed

    I had the same GPU paired with a 2d ATI for video output.. tell me you enjoyed Carmageddon, and of course turok the dinosaur hunter that was aimed at Matrox owners, but ran pretty well on 3dfx.

    My first was a GeForce 4 ti4200 I think. But I was like 10 when I got handed down that old PC and I didn’t really play any 3D games on it.

    At age 12 I got handed down a newer PC with an Nvidia 8600GT. I played a lot of Minecraft on that thing, but it couldn’t do much more.

    Then at age 16 I build my own PC with a GeForce GTX 1070ti. That was the first new GPU I bought myself.

    Last year I got the first AMD card in my main rig with the Radeon RX 6800.

    oh yeah this was my second GPU, oh the memories when you started up a game 🙂

  16. Snowy_Zoppo

    my first for a desktop was the 1660 super a hp custom from a lenovo prebuild

  17. n1ght_watchman

    S3 Trio 1 MB for a year. Then got a Voodoo 2. My mind was properly blown away when I launched NFS3 and GTA 2. Good times.

  18. I rmb getting this juz for the sake of remembrance, including voodoo 1-3, they were going so cheap when 3dfx collapse…

    But after moving houses, I lost them…
