Is the hole plating ripped or how do you know they make no internal connection? How many of them are broken?

Some photos would help.

You're right, there isn't much difference between the designs. Technically, the one with the reference plane is better, but in the case of the V2 it doesn't matter, the SLI interface is already dumbed down in the driver to work with the shitty cable. I'll upload some better pictures with the gold …

The FBI hsync plane is an import error, there is only a ground plane in the eagle files. The GND vias aren't needed, there is a continuous ground plane on the other layer tied to the connector GND pins. Not using vias also looks way better as there are no holes in the logo. Sadly I don't see how the …

The logo is not on the silkscreen, it's on the soldermask layer. It's basically a cutout exposing the gold plated copper.

There is a ground plane on the top layer, where the 3dfx logo is (you can check in the gerber files using gerbv). Kicad sometimes has problems importing polygons from eagle.

That's weird, what kicad version are you using? Also, what have you tried importing? Vogons says that V2_SLI_BRIDGE_V1A_V2A_SCH_PCB.zip has been downloaded 0 times (not sure how accurate this is). The other 2 archives only contain the gerber files.

Added the files to the previous post. Let me know if you have any problems importing them in kicad.

I'll upload the PCB project and the schematic. You'll find the pinout there.

Connectors are 9134-4500PL (black). Gerber files attached for both versions. Use ENIG finish for that bling logo and matte black soldermask. I'll upload the editable project later today. It's in eagle, but it should import fine in kicad. Edit: Attached V2_SLI_BRIDGE_V1A_V2A_SCH_PCB.zip containing …

Those values are not at all critical. 22uF 6V is fine.

There are some other weird looking things, but can't really tell much from those photos. Do you have a flatbed scanner? If you plan to solder back the loose caps, measure them first for shorts.

Hello, If you post some clear high res pictures of your card we might be able to tell where the cap goes. Edit: there is another damaged cap near to the sticker. Filename Screenshot_20220608-022101_Chrome.jpg File size 137.54 KiB Views 345 views

I don't know how to feel about this. What are the other PCI cards?

Can you take a high res photo of the damaged pins? Also a photo with the backside of the card.

Doubt that 1 missing cap will make the card not work. Right TMU has some funny looking pins, maybe check that. Edit: C193 sits sideways.

I don't know what you get for that price, for measuring hsync/vsync, sure, it should do it. But for other stuff it might be useless.

Looks weird indeed, like it's missing 1 leg. Maybe it's a diode and doesn't need the third leg. @Meatball do you have an oscilloscope? If the card doesn't throw any errors it's probably mostly OK. I had a card with the exact behaviour as yours, it was missing hsync or vsync, don't recall which one. …
