Oh man, talk about bringing me back in time. My first card was a voodoo 2.

rx580. still have it on top of a shelf.
I have no idea what i had in my earliest PCs, but the first 3d graphics card was the 3dfx Orchid Righteous 3d.
First custom pc I got had a NVIDIA 6600 gt
AMD Radeon 6300M.
Or if mobile doesn't count: GTX 1060-6GB
I had an s3 virge card. Amazingly bad, it basically was no faster than cpu rendering, but looked a bit better. I spent so much time trying to trick games into running on it.
GTX 1060 in a laptop. I still have it.
Riva TNT 16MB, brand name Elsa, card called Erazor.
Mine was an ELSA Erazor III LT (the name somehow stuck). It was an offer that was bundled with horribly bad and clumly mechanical shutter 3D goggles. I remember trying Half Life with it. It was rattling all the time and the 3D effect was mediocre.
Actual PC? GTX 960 4GB from MSI.
I got some random hand me down laptop with Win7 and probably some Intel iGPU
A Cirrus Logic, on VLB on my 486DX/40, with 4 MB of RAM, and a SoundBlaster card. December 1994.
A GeForce 9 series
Radeon 7770.
That would be a gt 8800. It was a gift from a friend when I build my first pc.
With some tweaking, it ran great for years even though it was quite old by the time it was given to me. It had some features I kinda miss in newer gpu's
As a teen in the 2010s, my first GPU was an Nvidia 680m in a Sager (Clevo) laptop.
That thing could power through just about anything I'd throw at it. Good times.
evga GTX 770 It never died
Replaced it with an evga GTX1080 it blew up 2 months out of warranty.
they sent me rtx 2070 despite the warranty(MISS YOU EVGA). I gave that card to my wife and upgraded to a 3080 from aorus.
the card is great, but the software that comes with the card is beyond awful. I will probably get an Asus next time.
GTX 760 Ti --> GTX 1060 Ti --> RTX 3080/RX6750 XT
