Combined with the color scheme of this site, this might be a cleverly disguised Nvidia ad.

Edit: Clicking through to their main page [1]: yeah, that's definitely an Nvidia ad.

I made this, and it's not an ad. Chose Nvidia colours, thinking that a GPU website should seem familiar

    You seem to be affiliated with sheets.works, so it appears to be an ad for that site then.

      I noticed that the list seemed a little Nvidia heavy when there were absolutely other cards that deserved a mention in the earlier years.

I don't think there's strong evidence of this being an ad. I was surprised to see the Intel Arc A770, a GPU I've never heard of, included on this list. I think it's just that Nvidia has been the dominant force in consumer-level GPUs for a while now.

    There is strong evidence. Click on the link above. It was posted by a viral marketing company. They even feature the GPU story on their website: https://sheets.works/data-viz

    Yes, because otherwise the ad would be too obvious.
