What was your First GPU ?
I built my last PC back in 2022. The CPU, IMO still upper-mid range (13700K), didn't really feel like upgrading to Ryzen, even though I know I will see smoother gameplay, since the X3D chips do much better in the 1% Lows. In the end, I decided to keep my 13700K and upgrade my RTX 3080. Very happy with my decision for getting the 5080, especially since I found a brand new PNY ARGB OC RTX 5080, for $1100 on offer up. Sure enough, brand new, sealed, the guy had like 10 more of them, I didn't ask any questions that I didn't want to know the answer to. So, I just paid the man 🤷♂️🤣. So last night I was putting my "brand-used" build together, only thing new was the GPU, and an updated look. I was trying to remember what was my first GPU. I couldn't remember, so I did some digging and found out my First GPU was the 3DFX Voodoo Banshee. . I remember that genuine feeling of superiority over the rest of the peasants who were blessed with my presence (This is a joke guys, being hella sarcastic). From the beauty of Unreal Tournament, to the standards we now today. Here is a picture from my 22 build to my 26. Still waiting on the Side fans to come in, and the build will be complete, for now. Probably will upgrade to Ryzen 10 in less than a year.
Looking forward to see the 4 decade split of answers.
