RTX 2000 Series:
>Good for implementing real time ray tracing into PC hardware
>Bad for how few games actually have a genuinely good implementation of real time ray tracing. You'd be hard pressed to name 5 titles where RTX truly makes a noticeable difference. Maybe that blame belongs to game developers, but Nvidia rebranded their entire lineup from GTX to RTX. I coasted through this generation with my GTX 1080, and never felt any desire to upgrade once the prices were revealed.
>Bad for drastically increasing pricing, while lowering VRAM amounts compared to similarly priced cards of last generation
>Bad for offering the lowest generational rasterization performance increase since Kepler (where the 80 Ti model was first introduced)
>Bad for over-promising how many titles would support RTX and/or DLSS at launch
>Bad for DLSS 1. 0 being horrible, and taking over a year to get a working implementation with DLSS 2. 0
>Prediction: likely to be bad for how much better Ampere and RDNA2 will be at ray tracing. Maybe this will be wrong, but I'm willing to be the ray tracing performance of Turing will look pitiful compared to the next gen cards.

The Crucial M4 was the most important early SSD imo, i feel like its the -budget- option that begun the first real downward spiral of SSD prices toward mainstream accessibility, especially with its 64GB option.
It was at that point that we all knew SSDs were not far off becoming the standard and that it would actually happen.

Great inductees to The Full Nerd PC hardware hall of fame. To make the MLC NAND pick less generic, how about changing it to Samsung MLC? Samsung still manufactures and sells their MLC NAND in their PRO series SSDs. I am considering a Samsung PRO Series SSD in my next build because they are the main MLC SSD seller right now.

The MLC pick should be more specific, it's a hall of fame after all. I was surprised by the Raspberry Pi being mentioned, but I completely agree with it. That Mac pick though. Certainly didn't see that coming in the PC World Hall of Fame. Should we bring the pitchforks and torches? Haha

Samsung always came in cheaper see after about 2-4 months of others doing it first. My first 512 was crucial because price Samsung as 20-30 pound more before that a expensive 256 buy so e we card maker I think smart scan but it was super cheap compared to other players.

Good picks. surprised the Pi got in, but agree 100%. Cheap way to get more people, esp kids, interested in code and computer tech in general. Also agree that MLC NAND was too generic. Adam; do your homework man, Lol. voice of the people was a good angle, though.

Agree with Gordon. Still rocking my 800d. was building antec back then (skeleton anyone) and the 800d was miles ahead. Damn it's still heavy after these years.
Ssd is ocz vertex with sandforce controller. Still rocking my 120gb vertex too.
God I'm old.

Next year's nominations: ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (aka the nVidia killer, Creative Labs SB16 sound card, and the product that set the stage for the ubiquity of AIO coolers these days, the original Koolance Exos.

The first 3dfx card upgraded pc's from running 3d games at a choppy 320x200 resolution to a 60fps 640x480 experience. It truly was a breakthrough in graphics. The upgrade in Quake was incredible.
