Graphics The best video card you've ever owned?

bet you looked really cool in that didnt you...

 

Oh they definitely weren't designed with fashion in mind....


Should have gone to Spec Savers

 

Right now? Radeon 9000 AIW Pro. It is more than fast enough for the CAD that I'm doing now and handles HDTV great. Only thing it can't do is dual monitors (maybe there's a mod to allow DVI and VGA at once?) so I have an old video card running my second monitor.
Back in the days? Jocelyn 2 16MB workstation video card. It came with a Pentium Pro system that was given to me for free (that was when 733MHz Pentium 3s were the fastest available!). I still use that card to run the second monitor attached to my current 2.4GHz Pentium 4. Problem is that it will not handle HDTV in my current setup for some strange reason (although it somehow did in the original Pentium Pro). I have a 15" E151FPp connected to the Jocelyn 2 and a 19" 1905FP connected to the Radeon. I sometimes like to watch HDTV on the 15" while using the 19" to surf the web or do some work. What is the cheapest solution for this? (Thinking of a VGA port wired to the video card so I can put one on the DVI interface and another on the VGA interface.) I'm not planning to upgrade my video card until I get a new system or when it becomes too slow for my CAD work.

 

oh man i had that same card, those glasses were about as comfortable as a brick on your face and gave migranes after 30 mins, but id be damned if i didnt play every game i could with them

 

my 9800pro which i am using now.

 

best i got is my 9600se with a ZM80D on it. the only reason i cant get it going faster than it is is because the card cant handle those speeds.
