I must admit that 2014 was very lucky for me, I got a lot of interesting cards that one year ago I did not even dream about... Thanks to the POEPLE form this forum AND my friends all over the world who helped my find those cards with the help of my RetroGraphicsCards fanpage on facebook 😉
So here is what I think can be considered "rare" that I acquired in 2014:
- PowerVR Videologic Neon250 PCI (Germany)
- Nvidia NV1 [Diamond EDGE 3D] (Japan)
- Rendition Verite V1000E (Romania)
- SiS 300 (Spain)
- SiS Xabre 80 (Italy)
- Number Nine Revolution 3D (Russia)
- Number Nine Revolution IV (USA)
- Trident T64 (Croatia)
- XGI Volati V5 (Germany)
- ATI 3D Rage 1 (USA) - is this card that "rare" or collectors just do not care about it?
