Honorable mention, the Rendition Vérité 1000 https://fabiensanglard.net/vquake/index.html Released before the Voodoo 1 with glquake and gl support for Tomb Raider.
I don't believe this list was curated as the title suggests. It's just a semi-random list of popular-ish GPUs with LLM-generated descriptions. The site looks nice, which fools us into thinking thought and effort was put into this.
Dystopian future where AI pumps out slop and uses human feedback and comments to correct the output.
There's no horizontal scroll bar, apparently I need to click and drag the GPU section leftwards with the mouse. (Am I old now?)
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.
This is an ad from viral marketing company and everyone here is falling for it.
they arent a marketing company:
"Dashboards, CRMs, automations. We're a small consulting team that turns your messy spreadsheets into systems that run your business."
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I used my 1080 Ti for about eight years. The successor GPU is in some ways way faster (raytracing, AI features etc.), but in others really quite stagnant considering the huge stretch of time that passed between them. ~10 years for 2-3x performance in GPUs at higher nominal and real price points shows how slow silicon advances have been compared to the 90s and 2000s. The same period from 2000 to 2010 would've seen 100…
Well. The 5090ti is significantly faster than a 1080ti. It has 92b vs 12b transistors. That's the 10 years difference you mention. 10 years before the 1080ti we had the 8800 ultra with 600m transistors. So yeah you are a bit right. But stacked transistors in the future might become reality and enable transistor increase again.
The 5070 Ti would be the same spot.
If you compare these - the RTX 50 card has a bit higher TDP (which it will usually not reach due to clock limits), is a roughly 100mm² smaller die with around 4x the transistors and about 3x the compute (since much more of the chip is disabled compared to the 1080 Ti's chip). It has 5 GB more memory (11->16) and a lot more bandwidth.
I'd say Voodoo 3 mattered because it killed 3dfx.
And the Matrox Parhelia mattered for much the same reason.

It does start with the Voodoo, so I got what I came for.
