Tell us:
Which retro graphics card did you purchase last ?
Or just post any of your collection.
I'll start with a card from my collection.
Does anyone know which card it is ?
Quadro2 Pro

That was what I was going to guess.
I’ve got far too many cards to list, especially with pics, but I do really like these three:

Indeed !
Nice bunch of kyro cards ! 😀
Last one would be this. Still sealed.
Requests are also possible... /msg kixs
Scored a tnt2 ultra for a non-ultra price on the weekend. It's still on the way. Will go nicely in my win95 rig along with the v2sli.
Excluding cards I took out of full systems, I think this Epson CGA card was the last stand-alone card I bought:
S3 Savage3D… nothing special.
Need help? Begin with photo and model of your hardware 😉
A Cyrix MII 266GP , an nVidia Geforce 2 GTS, and a Athlon Thunderbird 1400c
The last retro stuff that I bought.
ATI Radeon X850 XT PE edition, the fastest card for Windows 98.
I was looking for this for a long time.
If only Debs shared pics of her collection...
PC#1 Pentium 233 MMX - 98SE
PC#2 PIII-1Ghz - 98SE/W2K
My lastest purchased cards:
ASUS V6600/32 tvr
ASUS V7700/t
Bot have to be received yet since I havent been home for a while
Builds:
Xp3000+ gf3 ti200 + vd2 SLI 12MB + 768MB + SB live @ WinXP & 98 Dualboot.
P2 350mhz + Diamond Viper V550 + 3Dfx Voodoo 2 12MB + AWE64 + 128MB SDR @ msdos / win98.
Bought one of the new Intel cards. Can confirm the rumours sadly - it's not great for DX9.
I ended up getting this nice 8mb virge vx , unfortunately the card has artifacts which might be from bad ram.
I did end up finding a non boxed duplicate card minus the add on ram board so when that comes in I'll see if it works.

I do find it special, at least interesting.
1999 "Savage 4" is still somehow findable, but this previous 1998 "Savage3D", is not easy to come across...just like the "Savage2000".
This one, lucky find in old storage at work
ET4000/W32i, 2MB (although 1MB of it is 60ns instead of 45ns, so it sparkles quite a bit in the Doom timedemo).
Used with my M-321 with Am38DX-40/Cx387DX-40, 256KB cache, and 32MB of RAM.
Retro only? Pre DX10? Separate card that didn't come with a machine?
I believe that would be the Quadro FX 4500 for my PowerMac G5 Quad, over a year ago.
94 MHz NEC VR4300 | SGI Reality CoPro | 8MB RDRAM | Each game gets its own SSD - nooice!
