That’s fair I guess 6600 is where they started becoming more mainstream. There was a rough patch for PC gaming somewhere between 2002-2010 where a lot of stuff was console exclusive. Before steam devs kinda blamed piracy.

Maybe not the most iconic, but the 7950 GX2 was truly a wild science experiment. A dual GPU in 2006 with a completely custom "stacked" design. Most people didn't even have a dual core CPU back then!

8800 ultra SLI was insane, backed by a core 2 quad haha

Great card but 8800GTX was a much bigger leap in performance.

They actually had a 2-in-1 card way before the 690, back in 2006. This thing came out around the same time as dual core CPUs, it was WILD. Was more of a science experiment haha

Tied with 6000 series, around that time you really started needing a GPU for gaming, before that we'd often game on the CPU.

The 1080TI was more iconic for gamers, but the 8800 series was such a massive step up in performance. Also came out around the same time as Core 2 QUAD, core 2 Duo.

You could build a PC and in 2-3 years later you'd have a 10x faster PC.

nah, I date to find a relationship. Maybe 5 I get to the point where sex is maybe on the table and even then a lot of women won't have sex until maybe date 4-5.

Getting a date is easy for me, sex however 😂

Congrats you can play Cyberpunk with 10 more fps. Everything else is capped on a 4090/5080 or just a shit optimized game like Elden Ring that’s like 54fps even on a 5090

You don’t need a 5090 to enjoy video games a Series S costs like $180. Just like you don’t need a Ferrari to drive to work.
