What was your first video card????

**stinger608** · July 26th, 2006

Kind of an interesting question for a lot of us folks.

My real first "hot rod" video card was........ Diamond Monster 8mb pci card that I paid almost $150.00 :shock: :shock:

I bought the card so I could play GL Quake and Quake 2 in 3dfx

God thats been a long time ago :roll:

My first good videocard was a Ti4200. I overclocked that baby so high on stock cooling. MSI put a huge copper cooler on that.
