All-time favorite nvidia based GPU?

8800GTX followed by 980ti.

 

This GTX 1070 AMP! hands down.First time with a ZOTAC brand (EVGA was my preferred brand) had the 8800GT, GTX 260-216core and the GTX 670 SLi from them.

But this 1070 smashes them all big time.
Gamed a whole lot on the 260 though, lots of titles.

 

GTX285 from BFG. Those cards still work today, and I keep them as backups in case something fails. I also later purchased a second one, rev B, and did SLi, and learned how to make it work in games that supposedly didn't support SLi. I used them again for awhile when my GTX580 died.

 

8800 GTX - biggest generational leap in the history of gpu's.

Initially i bought 2 for sli, but when crysis still didn't run flawlessly at max settings, i ended up buying a 3rd for 3way sli (crysis still didn't run well at max settings though xD)

 

8800 GTX.

 

2080 ti.. the best Nvidia gpu is always the next one they release. All served me well and the people I sold it too after I was done with it.

They called a lot more money for this one. In the end, I say it’s worth it.

 

I remember the 8800 GTX/Ultra being such a great GPU. I personally didn't own one. I had a weaker card for that era. But damn, wish I would have gotten in on that one now. Seems to be the majority of what card is favored in history.

 

I had 8800GTS 320MB back then, 640MB was too much.. The worst part was not limited vram on 320MB, but the fact it died on me the next day when 24months warranty passed. It left a sour taste in my mouth, so I didn't vote for 8800 series

 

Voodoo 5 5500 AGP because boxart is everything

 

Tie between GTX275, GTX560Ti and GTX970..... If NVidia could make the GTX970 support adaptive-sync, I'd put it back in without hesitation...

 

8800GTX (and even the 8600GT) were really outstanding cards, but I have a soft spot for the 6600GT as a budget gamer. It really was a neat card for the time, especially after the 5000 series was so disappointing.

 

I don't know I look at it by series
68xx the 6800 pcie was cool an easy voltmod and 500+on the core the 68gs even more 550+
7800-7900- 7600 were ok
88gtx/s were ok so so more cooling then voltage but nice 88gt sucked thuo
98gtx were back rocking to 1000 with just 1.51-1.55 gx2 took time to love was a pita at launch but a few years later I found a foundness for it.
the 2xx was mostly shity needed cooling but 275 lightning was best card made in that series the 295 was ok just ok fun but pita too
4xx had the 460 was fun it spawned the best card that never was 460ti/560 ti hawk the card that I blew up the most loloolol I must of had 7 of those
I'd say the 4xx5xx were like a stripper girl friend fun while they last

aw crap sorry I ramble on like granpa lol

gtx 680 whole lot of fun(sure 2g but they benched lol) you get the right brand and a pos aio cooler 1450+ np bios mods? np hardmod np liked real cold too
the number one card for me gtx680 I think well besides the first Maxwell cheap 750ti

I had to forget a few

 

For me it has to be GTX 670 from ASUS. It was my first Nvidia card, and boy did it rock! Served well for almost 6 years, then gave up the ghost after almost 4 complete playthroughs of The Witcher 3. My 1080 performs amicably well also, and it has a 4 year warranty, so I plan on keeping it till the end.

 

To be honest my 280gtx was a pretty decent card, but the 8800gtx was groundbreaking for its time. 580gtx was ok but again i loved my 780gtx which even now is a great card at 1080P. 1080Ti for £695 was a great investment considering how high the price went.
Overall id say the 8800GTX had the biggest WOW factor.

 

Yeah, my vote goes for the same one. I needed to get a new card to play Skyrim. As always, I didn't care if it was from Ati or Nvidia. I decided to buy one close to Skyrim's release, whichever had a better offer right then and there. That autumn a local computer store had some x years anniversary sale of theirs, and they had a jolly offer for a 560 Ti, straight from the shelf with no wait time, so I chose it. A really nice card, all in all, ran Skyrim very well, as intended.

 

I think I would say the 970. Even with the gimped memory it was an amazing performer at 1080p and was a great bang for buck card.
The 970, 670 and ATI's 5850 are the only cards that I've held on to for 3+ years.
