Agreed it was, more than double the power of the last gen, and still great cards 3 years later.

The G80 is there with R300, NV10 and Voodoo 1 in epicness

And thank you everyone for liking it, wasnt expected

Nice read...It really is amazing to look back just 10 years ago and think of enthusists running these old cards

Makes a person wonder what the next 10 years will bring

Nice Post

I went from a Voodoo2->Geforce 2 MX->Geforce 3 Ti 200->Geforce FX 5700 Ultra->Geforce 6600GT->Geforce 8600GT -> GTX275.

It's been a fun ride

The Voodoo2 was by far my favorite card though, when I went from my 4mb Integated Graphics Chip to the Voodoo2, I saw 3D for the first time, and it was amazing. When I first ran Quake II in OpenGL I was AMAZED.... And the biggest benefit of having the voodoo2 back then was being able to run UltraHLE to play N64 games I wish I still had it around to SLI with for fun.

I was a huuuge 3DFX fan back in the day and the reason for the gap from the Voodoo2->Geforce 2 was because I was waiting for the Voodoo5s...
Honestly, the FX5700Ultra was not THAT bad, I actually liked the card a lot

Can't wait till the GT300 series are released though, that will be a nice upgrade, although really the only game that will benefit from it is Crysis (Which I really like) and Cryostasis(which I don't play much), everything else pretty much runs at 60fps+ (GTAIV Included)

I used to have a RivaTNT2, and a GeForce 2 MX at some point, those were the good old days

Holy crap I feel kinda out of place here saying my first nVidia card was an AGP 6800.
First card I remember shoving in a PC was an ATi Rage II. Then came the Voodoos and I entered the DirectX7 with a Matrox G400 MAX. Nuts to nVidia, this card was craaaazy fast. And crazy expensive. So expensive was the PC I built that couldn't afford a new one for a long time and I only just caught the very end of the DX8 era with a Radeon 9000. Went straight to a Geforce 6800 within a few months and have been with nVidia ever since.
