In 1999, the first Nvidia graphics card was released with the Geforce name, which is still used today. To be more precise, it’s about the Ge force 256. An important milestone for the company that extends into 2024 and the current Geforce graphics cards of the RTX 4000 series. That’s exactly what Nvidia is celebrating in this official video from the GPU manufacturer on the 25th anniversary of the release of the Geforce 256. So if you want to take a quick look back into the past, you’ve come to the right place. If, on the other hand, you want a more detailed review in text form, we recommend our large graphics card history for Nvidia (even if the current version “only” extends back to 2018 or the RTX 2000 generation). Last but not least, also worth seeing for retro fans: the video about our retro PC with hardware from 1997, which we built to mark the 20th anniversary of GameStar in 2017.
