Your GPU history -- What cards have you owned?

I'm interested to know what discrete graphics solution people here have owned, both for their desktops and laptops.

I'll start with mine. From oldest to newest. Thankfully, I've never had a single problem with any of my cards, though I did have a few overheats with my beloved Geforce 8800 GT, but nothing serious.

Desktop:
Riva TNT 2
Geforce Ti 4400
Geforce 6800 GS
Geforce 7600 GT
Geforce 8800 GT
Radeon HD 4670 (Sapphire Ultimate edition with passive cooling, for my HTPC)
Radeon HD 6850 2 GB
Radeon R9 280X

Laptop:
Geforce Go 6600 256 MB
Mobility Radeon HD 5650
Geforce GTX 850M

P.S. It's getting kinda tiring with all the 'versus' threads, it's like people can't Google for reviews and benchmarks. Are hardware review sites NSFW these days?  :lol: 
 

Rig: Intel Core i7-2600 / Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X / 2 x 8 GB DDR3-1600 / Seagate Hybrid SSHD 2 TB / FSP500-60APN 500W / 3x 20" 1600x900 LED / 51" Samsung F5000 plasma / Acer K330 LED projector
15.6" Clevo W650SJ: Intel Core i7-4810MQ / Geforce GTX 850M / 1 x 8 GB DDR3-1600 / Hitachi 1 TB 7200 rpm
14" Lenovo Y460: Intel Core i5-520M / Mobility Radeon HD 5650 / 2 x 4 GB DDR3-1333 / Hitachi 500 GB 5400 rpm

18 Patches later it's playable and the graphics look like they're actually from 2013 now. 

 

unfortunately Watchdogs 2 and COD 11 are heaps of dung.
