Man....the first "3D accelerator" video card I recall was either the Diamond Monster 3D II 3DFX Voodoo2 6MB PCI or some 2MB PCI video card. Either way, we thought it was the best video card on the market. I remember playing the PC port of Final Fantasy VII with hardware accelerated graphics for the first time and nearly crapping my pants in excitement. I think that was around July 1998.

my first 3d accelerator was a
geforce 6100 D:
it was powerful back then
it still works and its waiting for an opportunity to kill me D:
I have one of those in a pc in this very room UNazo. It was an integrated card and it was a piece of shit for it's time
