Wait… your dad had a VIDEO card?! All I had was a VT100 terminal! sheesh… rich kids… LOL
BTW, given the location of the capacitors and ports, thats most likely a GT530 with 1GB of memory… not entirely a boat anchor, but only scores about 600 G3D marks.

“early 2000s”, that’s a GT530. It’s a workstation graphics card from 2013 primarily meant to fit into SFF desktops.

Why have GPUs ballooned in physical size? Nothing else has that I am aware of. Hard drives are smaller, ram is same size, CPUs all seem to be about the same, motherboards are the same size etc.
