I see it over and over- the question is asked which cards you guys like. Well I want to know what cards YOU DONT LIKE. cards you have tried and had problems with causing you to replace it,or still have it and hate it.
 
only card i had that i really hated was the diamond stealth used it for 2 days then got rid of it.
 
i never liked my ATI Radeon 9200SE 128mb that i bought from circuit city for $80. Games were pretty poor, played UT2004 on medium settings, and so on. I also have to say that the FX5500 is a pretty bad card.
 
anything integrated onto the motherboard... my first system had something like trident or something like that... the manfacturer claimed the system was good for gaming... i could only play combat flight simulator 1 in a window. i was not happy to say the least, the only integrated graphics i did think was half good was the nvidia ones
 
i didn't like my old video card fx5200, it runs doom3 at 640x480 with medium setting and halflife 2 at 800x600 with low settings, and prince of persia worriors within runs at 640x480 whith lowest setting, while my new video card 6600 runs all of these at 1024x768 with high setting

FIC Radeon 9200 64MB - Worst card ever.

No overclocking, no features, no performance. But for a budget card it's great, I guess.
 
GeForce 2 MX400.... WAS a good card, hell it ran Doom 3 at about 20 FPS on lowest settings.... but now, never again.
 
Never had a card I did not like :). Loved my TNT 2, Voodoo 4, Radeon 9000 Pro, Radeon 9600 Pro, Nvidia 6800GT.... Oops sorry :) you wanted video cards we don't like... My bad :).
 
voodoo 3. went from 2 voodoo 2's in sli, to that card and regretted it immensely. supposedly "the" card to run quake 3, about 40 fps slower than the dual voodoo 2's. pfft

hell yeah the fx5500 is rubbish
 
I believe that 3dfx started off the whole "hook to cards up" together thing. They called it SLI (scan line interleave (i think)). 3dfx went bust, nvidia bought the rights to 3dfx intellectual property.
nvidia make a new technology where you can hook 2 cards up together. They own the rights to the name SLI and use it as their new "thing". It does have a different meaning (i forgot what it means). Nvidia SLI has 3 modes of operation, one of which is the same as 3DFX's original version but also has 2 other modes of operation.
i hope that helps :)
