The GeForce 256 was the first graphics card to use the term "GPU", and it is also an epoch-making graphics product. The product line developed by GeForce is still in use today.

British art designer @Bhaal_Spawn recreated this Nvidia GeForce 256 graphics card in LEGO blocks.

This is not @Bhaal_Spawn's first PC gaming-inspired LEGO project. This is after @Bhaal_Spawn has recreated 3Dfx Voodoo, LEGO Soundblaster Pro 2 and a vintage Adlib sound card from the 1980s.

Where is the inspiration behind these projects from? "I can’t remember why I started making them. It felt like a fun idea at the time! I like drawing and making things and PC gaming has always been an inspiration since I first played Sim City in 1990," @Bhaal_Spawn explained.

Many netizens are very interested in these PC hardware ideas created by LEGO. "People keep asking me to make a motherboard to put them on. So we shall see!" @Bhaal_Spawn said. I believe @Bhaal_Spawn will bring more LEGO ideas related to PC hardware in the future.
