My old 6800GT

[mandarpalshikar]

Found my old EVGA 6800GT 256MB AGP 8x in some old motherboard box today... 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.

Really man... friends used to stay at my home for a couple of days and we used to play Doom 3 at nights with Ultra settings on P4 HT 3.4GHz Socket 478 on Intel GBF865 mobo with 1GB Crucial memory... good ol'times

Cool! But i really never knew we needed gfx cards that time

 

[mandarpalshikar]

Remember "DOOM 3" and "Half-Life 2" !!!!!!

They were released on Windows platform in 2004

BTW someone was looking for a AGP card in TDF .. if you want to get rid of it then try selling it in the Bazaar session

 

[mandarpalshikar]

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 ), 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

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

I still have my old Celeron 800mhz Computer with 256mb SDRAM bought on year 2000 and it runs Windows Xp Sp2 perfectly. Its Power supply still works even after 12 years .
