Hello all,
I have a broken GeForce FX 5950 Ultra by Leadtek and recently I brought it to a local repair center where I was told that the card has most probably a broken GPU. The card normally boots into Windows, no artifacts, but when running 3DMark - all hell breaks loose on the screen.
Fortunately, I have a Quadro FX1300 lying around that also has NV38 GPU (although NV38GL) that I would be willing to sacrifice to fix the Ultra.
My questions are
- Is there any "memtest" for these old cards? I would like to rule out a broken memory chip first.
- If the chip is broken as I described, can such memtest produce a reliable result?
- Would the chip from Quadro FX1300 work in the Ultra? I can try if it can run on the Ultra clockspeed first, but would the chip from the Quadro work in GeForce?
Thanks
