Hell yeah, I actually won a copy of Wing Commander Prophecy on a local radio station competition. I think it was one of my first 'multi disc cdrom' games.

Quake 2 was one of the first games I loaded up after installing my card. The coloured lighting, smoothed textures and silky smooth framerate were just totally mindblowing for me at the time.

It was all enough to make me forget about the fact that I had a janky heatsink/fan assembly with the PC case lying on its side. I gamed like that for at least a year or so until I could get an upgraded motherboard with AGP slot to support newer cards.
