Found my old EVGA 6800GT 256MB AGP 8x in some old motherboard box today... :cool: Had bought it for 350 US$ back in 2004. Used it till 2008 when I took sabbatical from Gaming world to concentrate on my professional career.

I have kept my first computer, a 386 as well. Had few of the best moments with that pc :). Used to play "prince" all the time. Man that excitement which was there even for the games like dave just doesnt exist now even for the games like skyrim. Good old times :) .

@Mandar Nice GPU(love the AGP tag :mrgreen: ), I am sure it was one of the best of its time :)

My first ever GPU i think was a GeForce 2 MMX 8mb vram something :p

The card which helped nVIDIA bounce back after FX fiasco and the first with DX 9.0c / SM3 support. Beginning of modern day graphics.
