Amen to that, that card on my Pentium I was an absolute winner. The TNT2 on my P3 was even better.

Aah fond memories I have of all my nVidia cards... think the most versatile one still (and its still in use in my media center PC) is the 8800GT

In that scenerio: it's like when a girl/woman/lady asks you "Do I look fat in these jeans?", of course you're going to say something nice. :p

I don't suppose "You've got a fat ass or pear-shaped booty" would work, would it? :P

I would respond to your question: "Pfft, son, you don't look a day over... 40". :D

That is a trick question...always respond with "Would you like a glass of wine?"

Having said that...you're only as old as the one you feel.
 
First Card I bought with my own money was the NVIDIA GTX 750 ti 2gb OC Edition, got it at rAge for a nice cheap price, i see it goes for about R2 000, I got mine for about R1 600

All my cards that came before that I got for "free" from Christmas gifts or from it being past down the family to me.

My first few cards were interestingly enough:

Voodoo 2
Riva TNT 2
GeForce 2

After that it's all a blur of numbers and letters.

I miss the days of simple naming conventions.

Me too, remember wanting a Voodoo 2, then the TNT was released for cheaper, included 2D and 3D...and blew me away. Still remember seeing Quake 2 in OpenGL for the first time... :eek: Remember I had my desktop at a very low color setting, had to raise it higher to get GL to work.

Also, I still have my TNT 1 :D

That's one reason i don't get any radeon cards, the are all just random numbers to me, at least with NVIDIA i am able to understand that 970 is better than 750

Traffic was a mess on the N1 this evening. Two lanes closed as there was some dead person lying in the middle lane.

Had that once on a single lane road on the way home. A 20 minute journey took nearly 2 hours. Looked like some dude tried to run across the road but his fate was the same as insects during a long trip.


But traffic seems bad in Cape Town anyway? When I was there last month, getting onto the highway from Century City took ages. And we had to get to the airport.

My first card was a Voodoo Banshee, which lasted quite some time until I got a Geforce MX something-or-other. After that I dropped off gaming for a long time and had an XBOX360 and PS3 after that.

After going through 3 360's, decided to get back into PC gaming. Had a Lenovo Y500A for a year after which [MENTION=21]The Joker[/MENTION] built my current MiniMonster and I got a PS4 (which I haven't touched now for a year). Got an MSI GS70 about a month ago as well...

I work in Tyger Valley, so I don't really experience traffic normally.
