There's no horizontal scroll bar, apparently I need to click and drag the GPU section leftwards with the mouse. (Am I old now?)

Everything is designed for phones now.

Apparently it's a Millenial trait to insist on doing things with a "big screen".

nit: The 9070XT is listed as $599 but that price essentially never existed. I was lucky to get one for $730.

To this day I still use RX580 (8GB version) on Linux. This card is really underrated.

Kind of funny that a someone making a website about desktop hardware didn't expect anyone to use desktop hardware to look at their site.

It's basically AMD's 1080ti, except they just kept making them lol

I have a strong feeling that this website was designed by Claude Code using the /frontend-design skill.

Ok? Not bad to be able to throw something like that together with minimal effort. Works nicely enough.

I'd be really interested to see SGI on this chart. When did consumer hardware exceed what you could do on an SGI box?

I think Sun and HP had some 3d capabilities, but it was mostly aimed at engineering/CAD

It's probably just me being out of touch, but I don't think the GeForce RTX 4000 or 5000 series really mattered/matters that much. At the same time I'd add the S3 ViRGE and the Matrox G200. Both mattered a lot at the time, but not long term.

For a moment, a Matrox G400 DualHead was THE card to have for a multi-monitor setup.

This was a very sweet video card.

This is an ad from viral marketing company and everyone here is falling for it.

What are they advertising? Nvidia graphics cards?
