Finally got a chance to try the card some days ago in my newly aquired dual G5 2ghz Power Mac.
The card was defect..showed alot of artifacts on the screen.
I comtacted the seller about a refund but he refused and just said all sales are final even though the card wasn't sold as defective or untested etc.
I've read with alot of sceptisism that you can bake a gfx card in the oven to solve these sort of problems so I though it was worth a shot before I threw the card in the recycle bin.
According to most guides on the net you place the card with the GPU facing down so I did.
After circa 5-6 mins in the oven set at 200C I hear something fall from the card on the oven plate! it was a solid state cap...shortly after a couple of more square components fall too *DOH!* 😵
I take out the card from the oven and turn it around an put these components back on the card so they can use Newtons law and solder themselves back...10 mins later and it worked! 😁
Was very sceptic when I fired up the machine with the newly baked Radeon X800XT....but it worked!! 😀
Now I can enjoy some Doom 3, Quake 4 etc omn my Mac which crawled with the Radeon 9600
