You keep such antique for what de?

Just for remembrance and sentimental reason. My very 1st and very expensive hoot when I was in JC. Quake 2 and tomb raider ran like a dream.

Those were the good old days...

The relative pricing also.

Graphics card costs back then were a fraction of the rest of the PC.

Today, the rest of the PC is a fraction of the cost of the graphics card.

The first ever chip from Nvidia that uses 32MB DDR ram with TnL engine onboard. I remember it used to cost $350 plus when it first came out. No one else dared to do anything different. A seminal architecture change that revolutionized the graphic industry until today. And ever since then, no one beside ATI with their 9800pro ever came close. If anyone wants to give away their old cards, let me know. I am a collector of classics like these.

We can blame it on : Crypto miners - major , supply line disruptions - moderate and inflation - minor.
