Not necessarily the fastest one, just the one that never had problems and worked excellently for you

Voodoo5 because I actually enjoyed playing video games back then.
Sebastian Torres
I feel like I got an incredible amount of value out of my GTX 1070
I’ll probably upgrade to an RTX 3070
Worst GPU I ever had was a AMD 7970
Tyler Campbell
it might have sounded like a jet engine, but it served me so well for so long
Bentley Johnson
I just don't get why there's a chick on it. It's a graphics card, not a graphics student's artbook.
Jacob Jackson
Back in 2006, this card was the shit. It never gave me any problems, either.

>not knowing about graphics cards with bad 3d renders printed on them
fuck OFF zoomer

I'm well fucking aware that they existed, dumbasses. I was just wondering why they bothered to plaster it on a graphics card of all places. I had one just like it a long time ago.
Lucas Kelly
my 770 GTX+ lasted for the better part of the decade, played all the games i liked comfortably on 1080p, shit even ran GTA IV with high res mods 20-30 fps. just recently it seemed to die but my 4820k is showing signs of slowing now too

Eh, the first one I got I guess? Graphics cards are such ugly and unremarkable pieces of hardware that it's hard to get attached to unlike consoles. Like they all look more or less the same and the only differentiating factor is how much bullshit problems they give you.
Michael Sanders
If I'm not forgetting anything, I've had:
-GeForce 2 GTS
-GeForce 4 Ti (don't remember which)
-Radeon X800 Pro VIVO (you could flash this version into a higher spec card if you got a good one)
-GeForce 7950 GX2 (the weird dual GPU, one slot one)
-Radeon HD4870
-Radeon HD7950
-GeForce GTX 970
The 970 seems the most stable, Maxwell is efficient, and it's already lasted longer than the rest. So it's my favorite. Those last two Radeons really cooked themselves.
Blake Morgan
My favorite was my XFX HD4870 with fucking Jason on it. In the X2 variant, they gave him glowing eyes so you knew he wasn't fucking around.
Dylan Reed
far and away my 8800gtx. that thing lasted me for what felt like a decade, man what a fucking card it was. ran hot but never died on me or anything. that card was so loyal and ran so many games i keep it as a museum piece on one of my bookshelves.
Thomas Rogers
960 lasted me good run until i dropped the ball and bought a 2070 super.
Landon Stewart
I loved the look of it, even has a little Radeon glowing crystal.
But as an actual card and purpose for it, it's complete shit. Alas, it's the only serious card I've ever had.
John Allen
there was literally never a single reason to buy this gpu why the fuck did you choose it
Aaron Gomez
My 970 is still kicking, but its starting to show its age now that I got an 1440p/144hz monitor. Its a shame since its done amazingly well up to this point, but modern vidya is making me cut down on a lot of fidelity to keep up my res+FPS
Brody Cruz
My first "high end" card was the 8600 gts paired with some core2duo cpu. Felt like hot shit the first time I used it and ran a game at like 40 fps lolol. My most iconic memory was getting a voodoo2 and playing q3 arena.
I just built a system with a radeon rx 5700 and and a ryzen 5 3600x. Man how the times have changed.
William Taylor
MOOOOOOOOOT

this gtx 970, great card, served me very well. if i had to pick my least favorite card it would be some shitty zotac 1070 that black screened constantly until i got a different card
Grayson Anderson
Mentally ill incels were always the pc's main target demographic
Noah Harris
I was in an AMD stint for all my comp parts, and it seemed like a suitable idea at the time. And for the most part it wasn't a bad idea, the rest of the computer is great.
But yeah, the card is utter shite. Probably the biggest waste of money/ripoff purchase in my life.
Landon Reed
>just the one that never had problems and worked excellently for you
Can't post my Nvidia ones then. My XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog was a fucking monster but of course got hit by bumpgate, the MSI Geforce 210 I had to use as a display driver when I was broke worked but was of course a slow piece of shit, and my EVGA GTX 660 was a blower that had some fucked up bullshit where fan speed was hard locked to below 50% and it overheated and caused my PC to auto-shutdown even when I was just playing Fallout New Vegas at 900p medium settings.
So my final answer is the one that I'm still using to this day. My 280X is labouring heavily from having less than 4GB of VRAM and I'm going to have to replace it this year for a fact, but that Tahiti is still hanging on after over eight fucking years is a testament to how good the 7970 really was.
Jacob Brooks
Probably had something to do with benchmark demos having high-poly characters to show off and partner companies figuring people would think of high performance graphics when looking at such character renders on the side of their graphics card. Plus, tiddies.
Joshua Lee
Tie between my r290x and my 1080ti.
Brayden Sullivan
ding-dong diddly
Josiah Long
For me it's the Gigabyte 7970 SOC.
Ayden Watson
the engineer who thought this was a good design should never work again
Andrew Gomez
I think that's the Lord Humungus.
Austin Clark
Oh shit you're right
Matthew Moore
my second graphics card, bought it back in 2014 and lasted me until 2019. love it very much, this card was pretty much the reason why i was able to play the current gen games, my other card was a gts 250 and that couldnt keep up at all
