The marketing was catchy and everywhere. I remember doodling the logo in class without understanding or really caring what a graphics card was. Same for Amiga advertising…
After inheriting the family PC and taking it apart years later, I discovered it had a TNT-based card. It was such a solid piece of hardware for a long time in computer years. Used it until it failed and replaced it with an MX400 that wasn’t much different.
I remember the TNT and the detonator driver release which massively boosted performance.
3dfx was great too.
