Talk about dedication, an individual has actually managed to collect all GPU models from AMD and NVIDIA, and has integrated them into a single collection.
An Individual Has Managed to Collect GPUs From Over Three Decades, Featuring NVIDIA/AMD Models
Some occasions are exciting to report, and this is actually one of them, considering that it's the very first time I have seen someone having the whole GPU product lineup from AMD and NVIDIA, which is a feat that probably took decades, unless the individual had 'tons of money' to spend. He has posted a video on YouTube, showcasing 'priceless' GPUs on a long rack, starting with NVIDIA's NV1 GPU, the very first model, and progressing up to the GeForce RTX 5090. With AMD, he showed the Radeon DDR GPU and then progressed to the Radeon RX 9070 XT, demonstrating the evolution over nearly three decades.
The more interesting part here is that the user also had the NVIDIA Titan V 'Volta' GPU, which, for those unaware, was one of the first offerings to feature high-speed HBM2 memory and marked the beginning of high-end AI computation on GPUs. I couldn't spot any model that wasn't on both NVIDIA/AMD racks, and the SKUs displayed weren't vendor-limited either; instead, most of them were FE variants, apart from a few that were from AIB vendors like Zotac and Sapphire.
I was actually wondering what the value of the GPU gallery displayed by the individual would be. Based on a ballpark estimate, both NVIDIA/AMD models would be worth at least $200,000 to $300,000, but this is just an estimate for now, depending on the condition of individual SKUs, along with the prices the user managed to snag, especially for the older ones. However, this is indeed a rare occasion, and judging by its appearance, it is a GPU gallery that is one of a kind.
As a hardware enthusiast, it is remarkable to see how far GPUs have advanced over the past three decades, and as they move into the future, they are only going to become more powerful and robust. Companies like NVIDIA and AMD have made significant contributions to the PCMR, and we hope this trend continues.
