This list is going to take me a while to find all the pics x.x
Why did I know this was going to happen. Lot of work

3DFX | 3DFX | Voodoo Banshee | AGP | Recycled | Back when GPUs had actual names |
ATI | ATI | Radeon 9800 Pro | AGP | Absolutely no idea - probably recycled | Lost track of it after i gifted the PC to my father |
Nvidia | HP (pavilion dv9700) | 512MB Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS | PCI | burned (Nvidia heating issue plus awful heat design by HP) | Switched to laptops only for a good deal of years because i was moving all the time |
Nvidia | ASUS (N53S laptop) | NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M | PCI | Gifted | Most resilient laptop ever - It even survived two drops from strairs |
AMD | MSI | Radeon R9-270 | PCI-E | Working | Soon to be used on a PC for the father again |
Nvidia | ASUS (N550JX laptop) | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M | PCI-E | Working | current laptop |
AMD | Sapphire | Radeon RX 470 | PCI-E | Working | At current desktop PC |
I usually prefer to choose on value for money ratio when i buy anything recently. That is why is tend gravitate towards ATI/AMD for desktops and Nvidia for laptops when it comes to GPUs. I was pretty much always satisfied except for that HP laptop that both HP and Nvidia dropped the ball in reliability and heat design.
Donāt worry about finding pics. I was thinking about taking pictures of each card anyway and putting them all in an imgur album.
Which one is that, the 56 or ?
The 56 doesnāt exist as limited. And you canāt buy it until the 28th. This is the Vega64 limited from Sapphire.
How are you liking it?
Itās not in the system yet. It will go in when I move my Ryzen into a rack case.
Is it effective as a paperweight?
Thinking about ordering a few for the office. This whole āopen floor planā thing is causing papers to go flying in the wind.
Itās performance as a paperweight is outstanding. The shape and high quality construction does a great job of laying around.
10/10 can recommend!
Perfect. Iāll be putting in an order for 10 on Monday!
EVGA GTX 460 - Still a good card to play esports games like starcraft 2, cs go, etc.
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6870 - Ran way too hot always even at idle.
Both still work. I use them for testing motherboards mostly these days.

Nvidia | XFX | GeForce 7900GT | PCIe | Died randomly | It was the fastest card I could afford at the time. A friend with Gainward 7900GS was basically kicking my ass in games and benches and everything. |
Nvidia | Gigabyte | NForce 6100 | Integrated in the motherboard | The MOBO died | Got the board with integrated GPU, because I couldnāt afford another GPU at the time. God damn, I played Prison Architect when the board died. Served me loyally for almost a decade. |
ATi | Sapphire | X550 | PCIe | Died randomly | A gift from a friend to try and replace my GF6100ā¦ My GF6100 outlived it. |
AMD | Sapphire | R7 270X Toxic | PCIe | currently using it | Bought it 2-3 years ago or something like that, it was the fastest card I could afford at the time. A fan died on me, still dead, the card is quiet as hell, itās fast as hell, itās beautifulā¦ I am seriously thinking about painting it white. |

Mach 64 in the old Acer out in the other room iirc, not sure havenāt opened it up in like 20 years.
Sapphire Nitro R9 380 4GB
Also got a few cards sitting around that donāt have anything on them and all I know is they are AGP
Was going to grab the TI-4200 to take a picture but grabbed a FX5200 instead, I didnāt even know I had a FX5200 until a few minutes ago.
Back in 2004 when the game tron 2.0 came out, I just ha to have that game which meant getting my first discrete gpu. Canāt remember model, but it was eVega 64mb card which still works in my moms really old xp machine. Back about 6 months before win7 came out, we got a laptop for college that had an amd 4500 series (4550 I think). It still works too. 2012 got budget to build high-end pc, went with a diamond multimedia reference 7970. Excellent card for 1080p gaming, and honestly would still be using it but in beginning of 2016, I had the opportunity to get a VRR monitor and a compatible gpu. At that time, the 980ti was the better choice for me ( more vram and better VRR support) so I got evga 980ti hybrid and a Dell s2716dg monitor. Honestly, it comes down to what is best value for me at time of purchase regardless of brand. And the 7970 still works great, IF I get to put together a pc for living room, that card will go in it.
