A 1MB Nvidia GPU I had in my Pentium 133.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

Geforce4 MX440. Not just a weak card, it was also essentially a rebrand from the Geforce 2 series.

 

I upgraded to a Geforce FX 5700 Ultra, and although the Geforce FX was generally regarded as a flop, that was still a big upgrade for me. Plus it had a nice red PCB and copper heatsink. And a fan! Amazing stuff. ^_^

660ti because it was my first GPU that I owned, it's not bad by any means... I mean I probably had worse GPUs in HP prebuilts that I had ages ago but I don't really remember what GPU's they were packing if any.

The least powerful graphics card I have ever owned was an ATi 9550 2560 MB AGP card

It was a beast, It played Need for Speed Most Wanted on High settings

Damn, it was 10 years ago... I feel old now

Intel HD graphics on a Pentium G840 CPU. Had to use it for a while when my trusty old 9600gt died...

 

Sheesh even on CS:GO it couldn't give me high fps on decent settings...

It was one of Nvidia's worst architecture's ever.

It caused them to convincingly lose the performance crown to ATi across the entire product range. And they struggled with the new (at the time) directX9 technology. Which was a big deal because Half Life 2 was the hyped game at the time.

It was so awful, I don't even know why they went 2x2 shader design with that card. It was crippled as fuck.

It didn't even have 24-bit precision.

The FX series was optimized for DirectX 7 and 8, where it performed reasonably well. Just not in DirectX 9.

 

The FX 5200 was an ultra low-end card though, so it would have been wrong to expect much of it. I mean my FX 5700 Ultra had three times as many vertex shaders and over four times the memory bandwidth, plus the core ran at nearly twice the clocks. And that was still just a midrange card.

By far the GeForce 7950 GT.... I actually owned two of them at a point in time, both failed hard on me. I had so many issues in so many games, namly everything running on the source engine. Fragments everywhere, constant freezes and crashes.... The 285 which came after them was like a saviour....

8600 GT. I didn't know what popped capacitors sounded like until I got this card. How many pops does it take to get to the GPU-dead zone of a GPU? Six....

Then again, the shit coolers back in the day clogged up easily, the fan stopped spinning and my card ran as hot as 120 C under load. I think that's what killed the capacitors, they were cooked because I took the opportunity of that high temperature to find out when would the GPU throttle or shut the system off. 116 C throttle and 120 C shutdown.

A pair of 7970's. Their performance ought to have been amazing but in practice due to the problems in AMDs drivers at the time the microstutter and extremely poor scaling for dual cards meant that performance was awful. When I combined it with all the other bugs in how they managed power and especially the crashing bugs it was a horribly expensive failure. By far the least stable least game capable graphics solution I ever owned, nearly put me off gaming until I finally bit the bullet and bought some 680's to replace it and immediately found the grass greener on the other side. Was a full year after that AMD finally admitted to the problems and started to fix it. Worse still was how few of the review sites were even mentioning the problem.
