I still find it odd that the G450 has a grounded heat sink.

You know, I was actually wondering what that wire was for!

Grounding the heatsink done for eliminating the internal current of the chip. The output quality is excellent, but unfortunately the memory bus is 64 bits.

🤯 I have never heard of such a thing in my life. That's really interesting. I wonder why Matrox felt the need to do this when basically no one else ever did for a graphics card?

Got myself a Dreamblaster S2. I too, have now experienced the hanging note bug. 😀

Welp, test results for lot one:

- X1950 Pro 256MB - dead, artefacting
- Quadro 4 750XGL - same
- FX5900XT 128MB - surprisingly WORKING!
- Terratec Gold 16/96 - not yet tested
- mainboards all work, Soyo needs a bit of in-depth recapping and so does the ST6-RAID as the fan doesn't work, it seems
