Just for fun.... a computing time-line
For each year since the advent of the PC... what constituted a "state of the art" computer?
What significant advancements were made in that year?
What were you using that year?
1979 - Intel releases 8088 chip
there was a timeline on here somewhere
i kinda doubt there will be > 8GHz/core anytime soon,
probably caused by physical limitation.

1981 - Russel Sipe founded Computer Gaming World. 😀
Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....

found this on my desktop, not sure where it's from
The Videologic tree could have an unreleased PowerVR SG in between PCX2 and Neon250. Prototypes of that card should exist as some 1998 games were optimizing for it

You have hint where it is from in bottom right corner of image. It's mine work, but one of earlier versions. Now its more updated with much more cards. Visit http://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/history-tree and there you find 2 sizes of image (optimized for web, full size for print - over 3m width - http://www.vgamuseum.info/images/stories/misc/wall.jpg ).
It isn't finished yet, just don't have energy to add more uncommon makers mostly from 80's (i'm very lazy person).
Ofc taking any hints about missing cards in existing trees, but hint from leileilol about some mysterious cards is useless to me - need name, year and mem size 😜 . I'd like also adding whole new makers trees, but noone ever had time to post any, just some people corrected few cards.
Coworkers asking me when i do something similar with cpus. I told them that im collecting only graphics, so its on you fellow processors hoarders 😉
I can also imagine similar trees for some companies - like commodore, atari, or history of 8bit computers....
Not only mine graphics cards collection at http://www.vgamuseum.info
