Worst graphics card ever made?

[Deniedstingray]

I was sitting here comparing graphics cards to my 1070 for the lols, and came across this: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1070-vs-Nvidia-GeForce-6200/3609vsm9463. Pretty crazy huh? Im just wondering what the absolute worst gpu of all time is.

You are comparing tom cruise with charlie chaplin.
Back in its days, it was a good card.

Oh yeah for sure, i just love doing this and seeing how far tech has come.

 

[Hellfire13]

Well, tech is going to go ahead forever. And then there will be one day, you will be comparing a gtx xxxxxxxx or watever with your 1070 and wondering the same.

Yeah! Its so cool to think about. This 1070 will be as good as a pineapple performance wise in 10 years.

Thats how technology works buddy.

Well S3 made some shit cards back in the day. I happen to have a Diamond Speedstar A90 (with a huge 16MB of Vram) based on the Savage 4 Pro+ gpu and that thing had the worst drivers ever. This was back when Unreal Tournament was fairly new and I wanted to use the special S3metal textures because they looked way way better than the normal ones. Well I got it to work some of the time and the rest of the time not so much. Also had issues with DX and OGL. Another card that had issues was my Voodoo 2. It did Glide perfect but other API's not so much..

Thats why they disappeared into oblivion. Could not stand the competition with nvidia or amd. Last i heard, they were into mobile graphics.

Oh and I happen to have two 6200s as well. An AGP (MSI) version and PCI (BFG brand) one both with 256MB DDR2... Both suck ass for gaming but I only used them for 2D and for hardware DVD decoding.

My brother happened to own one of these and we used to play half life 1 pretty neat.

Just went into the dungeon and found the MSI NX-6200AX-TD256 and all but one Capacitor is leaking.. But on the the BFG only about half are leaking.. Long term quality control check..... Lol.. Well gonna have to break out the soldering iron and replace them cause I like having working retro parts for old builds.

 

[Hellfire13]

Thats a kool hobby you have.

my 2 would have to be S3 Trio or a matrox millennium both where shit lol you kinda knew the S3 Trio was of the bat, the Matrox was suppose to be a good card but it really really wasn't!

 

[Hellfire13]

Back then, graphics standards and consistencies were still at a nascent stage. If you compare from now, that side of pc was still evolving. Well...kinda.

 

[fluffa]

as for the biggest hell yeah, would be getting my first Voodoo 1 card.

Anyone here ever use a VLbus video card?? They were much faster than the ISA and or EISA video cards at the time..

 

[Hellfire13]

No idea about that one

Hmmm .... was comparing my first and last GPUs. Paid over twice as much for the Riva TNT (not 2) from Dell as I did for this RX 480.

The 90mhz TNT was the bomb back then. Friends insisted a 3dfx card was required for 3D graphics. Showed them!

 

[Hellfire13]

I think it was followed by Vodoo2. Back then 3dfx was a front runner in graphic cards.

Probably first gen Intel integrated graphics
