Radeon HD4870.  Running with Catalyst 8.12 drivers on Gentoo Linux AMD64.

I used an 9800 many years back.  A fewer years back, an X1950XT.  They 
don't cut it anymore these days.  I remember though the X1950XT was nice 
with compositing and the open source radeon driver.  But that was not 
useful to me, since gaming performance (if games ran at all) was 
horrible with open source drivers.
