My dad bought me an MSI GTX 660 Gaming 2G OC. I played so much Minecraft and Borderlands 2 on that thing.

Nvidia BFG 8800 GTS
Couldn’t afford the GTX, and this was before the GT came out. And you know what, that thing has been in use every day since I bought it. It’s currently the video output of my mom’s computer, and what a little guy. Just chugging along like he don’t give a shit.

Mine was a BFG 8800GTX. Absolutely loved the card. I bought it the week it released. Did Crysis run better? Um…yes?
Had it for a quite a while before it finally gave up trying to run Blackflag. Poor thing could barely hit 30fps on low and finally croaked about halfway into the game.
Didn’t take long before I got a different card. The fx 5700le…
So naturally it wasn’t even like 6 months later I got a 6600GT for Christmas and kept it around for quite some time.
Made sure to learn every feature and quirk on each card as I upgraded. The MX4000 was overclocked to like double speed on the core and memory. The 5700le was flashed with Quadro firmware. And I wanted to get the 6800GS to unlock the extra pipes, but the 6600GT was still awesome.
XFX 8800 gts 320mb card and it ran pretty hot like I remember a lot of hot air coming out of it but it still works today and it was pretty good for the time period. Now it’s considered a piece of poo.
