YIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS. YIIIIIIIIIISSSSSS. IT WORKS. THE 295 WORKS. rare stroke of luck. it was sold as faulty. These are the best feelings lol, nothing like getting working equipment listed as dead. :D awesome! I feel like I have the opposite experience way to often. When I buy a "Tested good" or …

Just noticed I've got 5ns memories too, but it's clocked at 182mhz in windows iirc. Whats the board part number & Bios Rev sticker on the front of the board? This card is this: 109-70700-20 & 70706. There is multiple revisions of the board and bios. 7200.PNG Same here. only difference seems to be I …

Creative/Msi TI4600. 30 eur. Artifacting most of the times. Sometimes starts without artifacts, then crashes and reboots. Can load windows despite the artifacts, but crashes pretty quickly. Has an Abit Siluro bios for some reason, but it's clearly a MSI. Could be the reason it doesn't work. I have …

Such an amazing thread! Love all the info and history. I spotted something strange though. You write that the Quadro 2 pro and the Ultra have identical cores (except that the first is binned). But in the attached table the Quadro shows as a 150nm productive process, while the Ultra is 180nm. What …

Found a reliable source. Answering myself: yes. NV15 Titanium was shrunk down from a 180nm production process to 150nm. http://www.yjfy.com/collection/collection-0037.htm

I don't follow the discussion 😜 I didn't want to bash on Creative I was just wondering if they were actually manufacturing cards at first, or if they always delegated to MSI since the very first cards.

I have never seen a Radeon 7200 with default 200mhz core and 200mhz memory?? Maybe a weird proto sample? It does have T5 memory though. cool. send a photo of the card? :P does it have the "new" geforce256 style heatsink or the slim one? It looks normal, for all intensive purposes. Maybe someone …

Hi everyone! That Creative was making use of MSI to sell graphics cards became obvious around the GF3Tis or maybe 4 IIRC? But what about the cards they made before? Was Creative producing them in house, or was MSI always behind the Creative Labs branded graphics cards, including the very early ones …

Which vendors used the fin in the past 25 ish years? and can you tell them apart? Like Dell, Alienware?, Apple, ... are there more? For example I never buy cards with the fin because if it's Apple cards they might not work on PC. But I imagine Dell and the others will work just fine.

Was it ever sold? a reference design might exist (like a voodoo1) but then what goes into production is made only by third parties. The Geforce 256 "founders edition" is Creative, since Creative built all their prototypes and it was one of the first investors in nvidia. Creative 256 was also the …

I find it funny a company thinks its worth the few cents to even bother adding a sticker if it has the original underneath as you can't even see it inside a computer. It's more useful when they hit the second-hand market and scrolling down search results. and not sure what EVGA were thinking with …

Matrox Productiva G100 MMS has a handle on the end: https://www.512bit.net/matrox/matrox_g100mms.html Its exactly the same. The end of the handle thins at the end to act as a runner that fits into the slot in the case. Oh my god this makes so much sense now. Lmao. I would love to see a modern-ish …
