Cirrus Logic GD5428.
GeForce GT 610.
It was the cheapest GPU available at the time, imagine my disappointment when I tried to run Minecraft with shaders and barely got more than a slideshow.
I don’t know what hardware my first computer had because I didn’t even know what a GPU was at the time… But the first GPU I ever bought was the 8600 GT.
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.
Upgraded my highschool family desktop I took to college with a GeForce 8800 GT , used until I build a new pc with a Radeon 7970 GHz edition, which was replaced with a rx580 after the card passed away from light coin poisoning. Desktop is now running unRAID and my new main rig has a gtx 3070 in.
Rtx 3070
A Matrox Millennium.

ViRGE 3D, upgraded the memory with 2 chips to play Tomb Raider.
Voodoo Banshee, so I could play Quake, Unreal and Deus Ex.
Nvidia GT 9400.
Ayyyy
I feel like so many of the asklemmy questions are covert methods to profile users, so I never give real answers.
This one feels particularly guilty
What value would this information have? You might get an approximate age estimate?
Put all the various questions together and you have lots of good info to profile.
The first I bought for myself was a PNY XLR8 GeForce GTS 250 in 2010. It tided me over for 4 years, until my power supply gave a loud POP, and I replaced pretty much the whole build just in case the other parts were damaged (or caused the damage).
Gtx 1050ti, great card loved it
That was the second card I got and it set a high standard for me lol
Trident VGA?
I got a 3DFX voodoo as soon as they came out. GL quake was mind-blowing.
I bought a Riva TNT
Then a GeForce 2
Then a Radeon 9000
Then for a bunch of years I just moved into laptop after laptop with discrete GPUs.
Now I still have a 1080 and a 2070 doing a little bit of light AI work and video transcoding for me. But I’m still relying on crappy laptop GPUs for all my gaming. They’re good enough.
I got a 3Dfx from a computer fair in Liverpool just so I could play Quake 2 CTF, it was absolutely mind blowing not even an understatement.
I was rocking Geeforce 2 and Soundblaster AWE 32. Good times😄
an S3 Trio card.
