I've had a lot of GPUs in the past 20+ years but honestly?
Probably Vega 64. Yeah, Vega was cursed and ran hot and failed to match 1080Ti.
But I got mine for relatively cheap after the 2018 mining crash and had tons of fun tuning it. It was the first card I hybrid modded, something I do to all my cards now.
At 1700Mhz+ it was pretty damn good for 1080P gaming. I sold the PCB during the 2021 mining boom for a whopping $640 :-O I still have the painted shroud, been thinking of picking up a Vega Frontier Edition and sticking the modded parts on it for lulz.
Runner-up would probably be Radeon X1900XT. That thing was so fast for the time, lots of hours playing Oblivion and Gothic 3 on that one. It was the first card I had that could really handle lots of pixel shader effects.
Edit to add- it's too soon to really say, but the Arc A770 I recently picked up is quickly becoming one of my faves. Another weird cursed GPU that I'm having great fun tuning and modding.
