Imagine you are currently doing a new gaming PC together, and your father wants to help you. Sounds good at first! But what do you do as soon as it turns out that the graphics card that your value Mr. Papa still had somewhere in the closet is just almost 20 years old and therefore completely unusable? This is how this Reddit user has taken the matter with humor.

That's what it's about:Current graphics cards that are good usually have several gigabytes of video ram. Top models such as Nvidia's current flagship, the RTX 5090, even trumps up with extensive 32 GB VRAM. But there were also times when 256 MB video memory were already a lot. It is precisely from this time the old carrot that this father wanted to give his son.

The opposite of good is well meant:The father and his well -meaning intentions in all honor, but with a GeForce 7600 GT from 2006, unfortunately, there is absolutely no stab anymore. The fact that the father wants to give his son the card for the PC is of course simply heart and happy, despite all of this.

"I told my father that I was building a gaming PC. He said he had an extra nvidia card, so I was curious. Not necessarily what I had imagined, Lol, but my old man Has a heart of gold. "

Special attentionAlso deserves the packaging of the time -honored graphics card. From today's perspective, the design with the curious bats that wear sunglasses seems completely completely out of time. Of course there was no game from which these beings come, it is just cool and someone designed it especially for this shell.

In the comments, people literally overflow with nostalgic anecdotesvia this card or your respective graphics cards, which you have installed in your first self-compiled gaming PCs. The strange number of numbers and name of the graphics card manufacturers are also discussed extensively, such as the strange fact that the 8 series have been skipped several times.

What was your graphics card in the first self -made PC? And why did the father still have this old GPU bone in stock?
