NVIDIA GeForce 256, the world's first GPU becomes LEGO

A fan of LEGO and technology has created an NVIDIA GeForce 256 with the famous Danish bricks. This card is considered by many to be the first "modern" video card in history. This is why this London artist would like to celebrate her with a dedicated set. To do this, however, you need at least 10,000 comments on the LEGO Ideas website. Only in this way will it be possible to have a chance to send it into production.

The same artist had also created reproductions of the 3Dfx Voodoo, Soundblaster Pro 2 and Adlib, two 80s sound cards.

Before NVIDIA GeForce 256 3D acceleration and standard functions were managed by two different cards. Once absorbed the historical 3DFX, Nvidia had the intuition to combine these two components and create, in 1999, the first "modern" video card.

A small technological jewel, which the artist would like to celebrate by sending in production (and therefore in stores) a reproduction made with LEGO bricks. The design was published in the LEGO Ideas section of the Danish bricks official website. If it ever reaches 10,000 comments there will be a chance to see the project go into production. At the moment there are over 2300 evaluations and there is still a year before the "survey" expires.

Do you like it? Will you buy the set if it ever hits stores?

The 'world's first GPU', the Nvidia GeForce 256 (1999) is now available * in LEGO!

3D graphics have never been so blocky - in a good way.
