Trident VGA?

I got a 3DFX voodoo as soon as they came out. GL quake was mind-blowing.

I bought a Riva TNT

Then a GeForce 2

Then a Radeon 9000

Then for a bunch of years I just moved into laptop after laptop with discrete GPUs.

Now I still have a 1080 and a 2070 doing a little bit of light AI work and video transcoding for me. But I'm still relying on crappy laptop GPUs for all my gaming. They're good enough.

I was rocking Geeforce 2 and Soundblaster AWE 32. Good times😄

I got a 3Dfx from a computer fair in Liverpool just so I could play Quake 2 CTF, it was absolutely mind blowing not even an understatement.
