I was able to get this card for a pretty good price, mostly because the card was sold as defective because of the missing caps, from the picture it looks like it's missing 2 of them, if anybody knows the values it would be much appreciated, so i can get the ones i need.

Hi! 10uF, 16V, like the two still on there. Best replace those too while you're on it. Good luck! 😃

Thank you! also do you have a velocity? from what i heard it behaves pretty much like a 2000 once the second TMU is unlocked.

You're welcome!😃👍
I don't have that card, I got the values off pictures online. I think it only has 8MB of VRAM (vs. 16MB on regular V3 cards) but from what I know the main chip is a regular Avenger chip with one TMU disabled in software running at 143MHz. Once that's enabled it behaves like the Avenger chips on regular Voodoo3 2000 cards. Don't know what impact the lower memory has.
