“25 years ago today, Nvidia released its first-ever GeForce GPU, the Nvidia GeForce 256”
The following table compares these two generations.

It was released on October 11, 1999!
NVIDIA’s GeForce 256 had 32MB of VRAM on a 128-bit memory bus with up to 4.6GB/sec of memory bandwidth, while the flagship GeForce RTX 4090 has 24GB of VRAM on a 384-bit memory bus with up to 1008GB/sec (1TB/sec+).
The GeForce 256 had a 50W TDP, while the GeForce RTX 4090 has a 450W+ TDP.
This means that the GPU transistor count between the GeForce 256 and GeForce RTX 4090 is a difference of 3300x while the VRAM capacity has blown up by 768,000x.

I would never use Nvidia again with open source operating systems … Only AMD Radeon. It is just counterproductive and I would have to literally reinvent the wheel just to get a FreeBSD functional system running …
As Linus Torvalds once said: “NVIDIA is the single worst company we have ever dealt with”

The Nouveau open source driver causes a lot of issues in general. That’s why many (including myself) prefer the proprietary Nvidia driver
