FX5800 had RAM failures mostly. Guess it's the DDR2, i'll hit the memory hard this time :) I had a similar problem on an FX5200 PCI. I tried using freeze spray for the first time ever, and it seemed to give me the answer. I sprayed each of the chips (including the GPU) with freeze spray and found …

What a VLB card! You will have to make something using a period correct CAD program to show it off. I like the original cost too, $999 🤣

That £8 lot is a steal! KustomPCs still have some modded sidepanels for Lian Li cases which have been tempting me but won't fit my Superflower clone.

Fake Artex :) Artex is a legend He even coined the term "do an artex". Which means to message the seller behind an auction which such a good offer than he closes it early. Hahaha. My legend precedes me Vetz! Good to see you and hope all is well. In full transparency I've not had much luck with " …

Can you take a photo of the output? What do the caps look like on the boards? I have a board similar to what you describe. If you have the issue using the dvi port on the card to a dvi port on the monitor (all digital) then it's not the ramdac I guess. This one is different: Trying to save a Quadro …

A fellow Quad DAMAGE SLI fan! If only it was possible with so many voodoos to hand. Nice Quadro II pro, looking for one of those for a while. I fear Artex's comeback may break the internet and/or be hazardous to other collectors state of mind 🤣

I'll see how get on in putting them in a X58 rig. Perhaps the AGP bridge driver part could be backported to older drivers.

yep, removed the tape with the help of my heat gun, but it was really difficult in some places as the top layer of the cardboard had already partly delaminated, also the box got obviously roughed up from shipping too. Nice work to restore it a bit. I need to wise up on how to clean and preserve …

I used to be like that, I didn't care at all for the boxes. But something happened along the way, now I think that a boxed item is much, much better. Especially for videocards from the 90s, the boxes are so cool. Has been exactly the same process for me. Not caring before but now, I just need a …

I know what you mean, it was shown as the box, manual, cd and padded ESD bag. Could not identify the gpu through the bag. It was 15 quid shipped internationally, guess the seller threw away the box. Agree with you, overseas classifieds are the only places I can get decent priced boxed stuff, eBay …

Bought a "Boxed" G200 AGP card brand new on yahoo auctions cheap. Box was shown, looked mint. By the time it reached me.. it was a GF2 MX and just the G200 manual/CD 🤣
