Graphics Cards recited from memory IN ORDER

Graphics Cards recited from memory IN ORDER, I won't remember all of them but I will try. Cards in bold means I have owned one. I love video cards each one improves upon the last, offering new features and faster framerates. The first video card I bought was a VGA 2 MB VESA card, and the first graphics accelerator I bought was the 3dfx Voodoo Banchee.

3DFX: 1995-2000
Voodoo, banchee, 2, 3000, 3500, 4, 5, 6

ATI: 1997-present
Rage, Radeon, Radeon 8500, 9500, 9600 pro, 9700 pro, 9800 pro*, x800, x800 pro x1600, x1650, x1800, x1900, x1900XTX, HD 3800, HD 4800
(Wow I am terrible at remembering ATI, their naming scheme is harder to remember and I never owned as many of their cards)

Nvidia: 1997-present
TNT, TNT2, TNT Ultra,
(All from here on have Geforce name before them ) Geforce 256, 2MX, 2GTS, 2Ultra,2 Ti, 3 ti 200, 3, 3 Ti 500, 4 ti 200, 4 ti 4600, FX 5600, FX 5700, FX 5800, FX 5900 Ultra, 6600, 6600GT, 6800, 6800 GS 6800GT, 6800 Ultra, 7600 GT, 7800 GS, 7800 GT, 7800 GTX, 7900 GT, 7900 GTX, 7950 gx2, 8500, 8600 GT, 8800 GT, 8800 GTS, 8800 GTX, 9600 GT, 9800 GTS, 9800 GTX, 9800 GX2

GTX 260 , GTX 280

Video card interfaces:
ISA, PCI, AGP, PCI Express

Note: this is mostly in terms of when they were released, but a few are in order of performance, for example; the Geforce 3 ti 200 came out after the geforce 3 but was actually slower.... Heh, I had a friend that "Upgraded" from the geforce 3 to the Geforce 3 ti 200, what an idiot... I may have missed a few this is reciting from memory hehe.
