I know there isn't any brand on the card (i guess) but maybe it could be identifiable by the PCB layout. Does any of you know this card or is it just silly OEM?

As some of you may know i got for "pretty cheap" a Creative Geforce Annihilator 256 DDR, but i had to have a SDR version of this card and this one was even cheaper so i couldn't let it go.

I'm thinking on building a retro rig around my old (and first computer ever) AMD k6 2 450 Mhz and this SDR seems to be a fair video card for this project, even more than the DDR version of it.

It's a Prolink PixelView GeForce 256 (Model MVGA-NVG256AL)
Pretty obscure Taiwan brand.

Thank you!
I find it odd that a Geforce card (even if the first models ever) use dual-in-line chips for their bioses.
Still i think it's a good video card for a AMD k6 i guess. I intend to run games from 1998 to early 2000. It will be interesting to see how my AMD k6 will work with a Geforce from that era, at the time i could only dream of getting such video card.
