Ok this isn't going to take long for me, i'm just not old enough I guess!

First up I had two Gainward GTX570 Phantom 3's

Followed by two EVGA GTX780 reference Superclocks which I bought on release day.

and now I have two EVGA GTX780 Classifieds.

No old green ones i'm afraid, the card in our old home P4 has a bright red PCB, not very manly though unfortunately, Robot Wars was too much for it.

My list isn't that long since I was a console gamer throughout the late 90's and up until around 2006. I've also been on the green team more than the red one.

And currently - Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Vapor-X 3GB

The one I probably got the most milage out of would have been the 4870. I had it for the longest and did a lot of gaming on it.

Some Updates:

I replaced the 7950 with this:

Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X

I then had annoying driver related lock-ups, so I sold the 290 to switch to this, which is what I currently have.

As far as I can remember.
When I didnt' know anything about computers and my dad bought me the parts since he did:
ATI Rage 128
Some random stuff I really can't remember since I was about 7
Nvidia 7200GS

When I started to really get into computers:
Nvidia 8500GT

Went to Xbox/360 For a while, only played WoW on my PC so I missed out on the "CAN IT PLAY CRYSIS? hype"

Nvidia 9500GT
ATI 5850
AMD 6950 2GB unlocked to a 6970
AMD 7870XT
R9 280X crossfire
770 2GB
Still deciding what to buy in the next few weeks as I am RMA'ing this 770 :)

Why not,
my first graphics card before i knew anything about computers, i seen 1GB which means it can play any game. Oh how i was disappointed. HD5450
11166-02_HD5450_1GDDR3_PCIE_HDMI_DVI_VGA_C03_634418428969770899_600_600.jpg

then there was the hardcore cad graphics card, also a disappointment. Nvidia Quadro 3400.

Then TTL was a nice chap and gave me a loan of a 650, i think it was the 650 ti boost but im not completely sure, it was a great card, cant fault it really. No titan but it played everything i threw at it. And it looked great with my rig.

Then i for the best price to performance ratio msi gtx570, i own two of these now one in my personal rig and one in the family rig. Works great for everything i need.
