I was going though my box of stuff and found a Diamond Viper V550FP. Previously I haven't really paid much attention to it as I don't have any AGP 2x systems, but I was curious about one of the video out ports, which appears to be named FP. I have attached some images of the card to this post to see if anyone recognizes the port and if more information could be found out about the card.

Edit: Using DDG, I was able to find this, however as far as I can tell, all it contains are better quality images of the card.

Digital Flat Panel port (DFP). Precursor to DVI. Can be used with adapter.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Huh, I thought it might have been some sort of early digital format from the way it looked, more pins than VGA.

I'm wondering how rare this could be, I didn't know what DFP was until now.

Congrats, this is very rare card. I have never seen Riva TNT with DFP before.
I have DFP -> DVI cable, so I can confirm it works (at least it did on Rage Pro). Just don't expect resolution larger than 1024x768.... maybe 1280x1024.
