Nvidia just unveiled its “GeForce Trading Cards: Series 1,” a free series of collectable cards celebrating the company’s history in PC gaming. The series includes 14 different cards featuring artwork and designs from historical graphics cards, classic tech demos, and iconic games that have shaped the GeForce brand over the decades.
The cards include the NV1 from 1995, the GeForce 256 from 1999, the GeForce 3 from 2001, GeForce 7800 GTX from 2005, and GeForce GTX 1080 from 2016. The series also features cards inspired by tech demos such as Bubble, Chameleon, and Medusa, and games such as Unreal Tournament 2004 and Borderlands.
These collector cards are being given away free of charge as part of Nvidia’s “Summer of RTX” campaign via the company’s social media channels and at gaming conventions and events like Gamescom 2026. As such, these aren’t actual, usable trading cards.
According to Nvidia, the aim is to celebrate the graphics cards and games that have shaped generations of PC gamers. An added bonus is that even though the global memory shortage has driven up the prices of graphics cards, the GeForce Trading Cards: Series 1 cards are a type of Nvidia card that everyone can afford—although that might not be the case once they hit the second-hand market.
