Not too far from the truth, when looking back. Heres an IBM hard drive being delivered. Yes, that’s ONE hard drive unit, IBM model 350.

That's a staged promotional photo, if it were really being shipped it would be wrapped up, and importantly be facing the door of the plane and not the camera. /debbiedowner

And the drum would not be mounted, but packed separately

Only needs 10 x 4pin power supply, that will melt and/or burn, if you run the card over 25% capacity.

i have the 4080 so that's very accurate.

When I first got teh crysis game (when it just came out) played it on my (at teh time I thought)_ damn good PC I had built. Up till then, ran every game I played no real problems. 10 mins in, started to act sketchy. Then I smelled something wrong. Then the magic smoke came out of my machine. It killed my power supply. Built pc for years prior to this, never had software kill hardware. Was kinda neat.

When Crysis Remastered came out, it had a literal "Can it Run Crysis" setting. It pushes a 4090 down at 4K max.
laacis2
many games push 4090 close to 1080p 60 or even under with all settings maxed out. 4090 is kinda slow for UE5.

That's cause they put in settings that improve graphics by 0.1 percent and use 10x more resources

Anyone remember the VooDoo 5500?
theuserofmynameisme
VooDoo 2 sounds familiar. I started with CGA graphics... 4 colors. That's it. And no "graphics card" They had frame buffers. No 3d games. Remember Commander Keen?
Ventx
Man. I remember my dumbest question as a kid to some random guy at CompUSA. "I don't have the money for a VGA monitor, should I get a CGA monitor and then get an EGA monitor.." "Uh.. no, just wait another week idiot."
Iliekbirbs
Yes I remember selling this at Babbage's! (now Gamestop)

I still have a voodoo2 somewhere. For a long time it was unbeatable. Even after I upgraded to a TNT2 and later a Radeon, the voodoo2 was needed for anything that used Glide instead of DirectX or OpenGL (old games that bet on the wrong horse). Also Glide was similar to the 3D instructions on the N64, so UltraHLE could emulate many N64 games at playable FPS even in 1998 (something that couldn't be done otherwise for more than a decade)

The unreleased Voodoo 5 6000.
spiceass9000
I’m pretty sure I had the 5500

I forgot about this! Needed a full size case to even consider it. Crazy.

My first gaming graphics card was a Voodoo Banshee. Before that, I had a Matrox Millenium. VRAM was measured in MB back then and clock speeds were only hitting 100MHz.
PoopholeAintALoophole
My dude! Banshee was my first real GPU! Rogue Squadron was the TITS with my OC 333 Celery and 64MB RAM!

Sometimes you didn't even have a graphite cooler, it was straight up plastic.

Nice dude, my first actual 3d was the voodoo 3dfx the first one, on my P233 my 2nd year of college. That thing was amazing for Quake 2 and Xwing v TIE fighter. My one after that was the first AGP Viper 550...was a nightmare to get working right...never buy the first gen of a new tech. EVER. AGP took a while to settle in. After that was a Rage 128...the worst card I ever owned. Then the 8800GTS which was the best. Ah nostalgia hardware heh.

All of it running a 15" monitor that weighs as much as a 50" OLED does today.

Exactly
