Thanks!

It is hard for me to watch certain tech youtubers, especially when it comes to retro/collectible stuff. I tend to get upset if they get even the smallest detail or fact wrong.

Recently aquired a Titan Black and a 2080 super. I have been wanting to complete collection of all 3 2000 series x80 cards for a while now.
I feel like my titan collection is complete for a while as well - I actually have 2x Titan Xp may swap one for a Titan X Pascal but that card seems boring because its basically same as 1080Ti. Titan V and Titan RTX one day...
I know what you mean.
"Stick to your last."
I have several lists to keep track of things.
Mostly based on the TPU-Database.
For example a screenshot of the GeForce3-Generation.
Those marked in green are part of my collection.

I would also like to have cards like the ones you have.
I could afford them, but then you think to yourself:
You could do something better with the money.

Where did you get your cards ?
Did they fall off the lorry ? ;)
I mean that's a lot of mostly the same model.
That's a small fortune you've got there.


Here's a TITAN RTX and TITAN V.
Tested with 3DMark 2001 SE.
They belong to a german forum member.
He tested a lot of high-priced cards with very old benchmarks and makes the data available to me.

Wow! That is pretty impressive! I also have many spreadsheets to keep track of things. Very similar to what you have shown. I also save off any nvidia whitepapers, marketing materials, reviews, block diagrams, BIOSs, etc. Have full thumb drive full of supporting material.
The first spreadsheet was also built mostly off the info in the TPU database, hand picking the specs I care about. and also marking the ones I have owned or currently own in a column at the end.
I find them mostly on ebay. Many of them look similar but are actually different (the green XFX cards - GTX260 core 192, core 216, 65nm vs 55nm GTX260, GTX280, 285, etc. I have 2 of each exact SKU/part # max. (but have many GTX280 for example, from different brands)
Sometimes I do look at them all and think it is waste of money when I want something new to play with instead, but really hard for me to sell any of them.

I have that same Armin van Buuren CD. I think he had several different years under the State of Trance title. I managed to collect 2005, 2007, and 2008.
Looks like I'm missing a lot of the collection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Armin_van_Buuren_compilation_albums

I'm looking for nvidia whitepapers, reviews and block diagrams.
Especially from the early years:
GeForce 256, 2, 3, 4, FX etc..
Rage, Radeon etc..
I would like to acquire more technical background.
Understand how these cards work.
And with lowest priority markerting material, because sometimes it's funny how AMD and nVIDIA advertise their cards.

Ahh sorry. I dont have anything that early aside from the hardware itself. most of my digital material dates from 8800GTX and onwards.
