Radeon X1950 crossfire

Hello, I have the chance to get 2 Radeon X1950 XTX cards, same model but different brands (they are visually the same, ati reference with that huge blowing fan). I found contradictories information about the chance to make them work in crossfire. It is mentioned a so called master card, but I can't …

Radeon pci x700: backside of the card seems to be missing something at c64 spot. Comparing it to this image: Wow what a good eye, you are definitely right it's missing, furthermore it seems it has been desoldered. Could it be a problem? Since I can't find a way to fix the fan i'm unable to properly …

PCIE: resolder the joints of the fan connector. If it doesn't work, replace the fan cable. PCI&AGP: check for damaged traces, *get datasheets for the main chips if available and measure +5V voltages. *Edited to clarify. Thank you for the tip, I can confirm that the fan connector works, I tried a 2 …
Bought some non working videocards

Hello, I bought a stock of 13 videocards for a low price, most of them are working, I tested them with a couple of dos benchmarks and in 3dmark99, while 3 are somehow damaged. The pci and agp cards simply don't boot, I can't see any physical damage on them. The ati pci express card instead boots …

Thank you for the answers. That made me know models that I didn't know or remember. It seems DFI it's not really liked around here. Well, it was around at least since socket 7 until lga 775. Talking with the series of nforce4, I remember it had so many options for memory timings that most of people …

for such old stuff, I usually use uniflash it's something like universal, it supports a wide range of systems, it's easy and let you backup the actual bios too.
Re: video card for athlon 64 build

I built a similar system, a few days ago. I have the A8N SLI Premium with an Opteron 180 (like a X2 4800+) and i combined it with two 9800GT in SLI. In most cases the CPU is the limiting factor, also with activated AA and AF. The 9800GT (or 8800GT - it is the same!) is very cheap on ebay at moment. …

Thank you for the tip, I could get the 950 for less than 60 eur, but if it is really overpowered it's going to be useless... I agree about less heat and power draw, that's why I'm going to pick a card that doesn't require any 6 or 8 pin power connector. Also ATI\amd would be fine as well...

When are the new chips arriving? Might want to seek a refund on the bogus SRAM. In a month or so, I just ordered the 10ns and the seller shipped it today. I just ordered 1 piece, should I have ordered more just to be sure? Nobody actually makes ancient DIP SRAMs like this anymore, clone or …

This is my chip: https://imgur.com/a/t7mUyEb I tried once again to test it on TL866, in both ways just to be sure, same result as before. I suppose you are right, I got a dead sram chip or just a piece of plastic.

The cache in the second eBay link looks similar to mine. Mine work with an 83 MHz FSB. Hi me passes. Memtest passes. CTCM shows all 64 mb is cacheable. But there is no guarantee you’re works - test it. I'm confused, if it shows 64 mb or the tag ram isn't working or ctcm doesn't detect the tag ram …

You can't really be sure - but at this price it doesn't matter, just see if the do the job or not. Generally this sort of old stuff sold cheap just works, regardless of whether some genius thought it was a good idea to re-do the label. You are right, but if they are cheap chinese clones maybe they …

The Dell park number is 5931D You can also search for TB400 and just look at the pictures as the older dell cards had the AU8820 chip (Vortex 1), while the newer ones had the AU8830 (Vortex 2). Thank you for the precious tip. Are those mainly sold in Usa? I tried to find them on ebay without …
