Hi again!

This time XFX 6800 AGP which gives artifacts. I've done some research and from what I can see some caps are missing... I mean from what I could compare from the internet.

Question, does anybody has this card that can help me out pointing that definetily caps are missing? If yes, what would be Your guess about the caps specs?

Rev of my card is v.1.1

Thanks!!!

Well... I miss 80/90s ... End of story

I have this card, I can confirm that there are indeed missing caps on that part of the board.

I would suggest desoldering a similar one from the same part of the board (like C414) and measuring its capacity, as the values are likely to be the same given the size similarity.

Artifacts on these era of cards usually means a half-dead chip (Nvidia Bumpgate) and adding more ceramic caps won't help it.

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