Most popular current card, or most popular card of all time?

Edit: answering my own question after actually reading the article 😅

Currently they’re most popular, as per the Steam Hardware Survey.

Historically, their best selling GPU was likely the ATI Radeon 9600 in the very early 2000s.

Well, it is legitimately a good card

As far as I can see, it is the only card still available at an OK price in retail.

I am considering getting one now for my next computer....

If I were in the market for a new GPU this would be the one I'd get for a more hassle free Linux gaming experience compared to Nvidia.

That is because you got Half Life 2 with that card. Or at least a coupon/key because the game wasn't even out back then. And before VALVe got hacked, leaked parts of the source code and postponed the releasereleased even further
