Hi guys
I found this strange AGP card with a Cyrix Cx486 DX2-66 on it. It has me really puzzled. I tried googling for 'Cyrix Cx486 AGP card' and similar but I just can't find anything like it

I don't have any pics at the moment (it's at the workshop) but you can see it close up in this youtube video at 43:49 when I first dicover it.

What is it and is it unusual/rare?

Thanks
Rich

you know you can timestamp a video or just take a screenshot right? :p

anyways, someone just stuck that cyrix heatsink on a regular GPU that was apparently missing it's original heatsink, no 486 there.

Looks like a too big heatsink taken from an old Cyrix CPU, not the CPU itself which was PGA.
That heatsink even covers or hides some SMD components but does not touch them.
