15 years of the history of video cards in pictures Bashny.Net

And what are you Ruban monsters on the screen ?!

Since the mid 90's, the computer industry of 3D-graphics and, in particular, has made a giant leap display adapters. Performance solutions for professionals, home users and enthusiasts has grown a hundred times. We got access to the entertainment and computer games, which previously could only dream of. Our foreign colleagues decided to trace the history of devices, without which today present three-dimensional graphics on a PC is almost impossible. This, of course, talking about the video adapter.
