if you don't see any physical damage around the memory chips (but they're probably BGA?), damaged caps or the agp slot then i'd say yeah it's rather toasty.

clean the AGP connector, try another motherboard, thats about as much as you can do without trying to do any reballing/reflowing or the memory and/or nv chip, and even then the chances are slim.

Yeah, as foil_fresh said, try the card on a few other platforms (although, by the looks of it, the card is definitely dead).
I would not bother with any reflow/reballing for now, I imagine you paid quite a bit of money for this card, so ask for a refund ASAP. If in the end you get to keep the card (and also get your money back), then you might try and fix it (although chances are probably slim, unless you are Louis Rossmann 😀 )

In my experience they die as hard as Radeon 9700s. I had a number of ebay ones that were DOA.

This is the only AGP system I have. My 6800 GT works fine.

It's a shame. This is a really good looking card. It's got a purple pcb. Matches my mb.

I want to hit it with heat, but I'm waiting to hear back from the seller.

I bought a Ti 4200 because I'm drinking and it's purple. Do 4200s die at the same rate as 4600s?

Not in my experience, no, nor Ti4400s. But one can always be unlucky.

Some of them have dodgily attached heatsinks that can come loose, and that will kill the GPU.
It's more likely to be a problem after the heatsink has previously been removed and the pegs aren't in perfect condition anymore.

It's toast. I hit it with heat twice, but it's gone.

Ya, it's pretty dinky.

So what did the seller say?

Refunded

Plaid probably means that the GPU is toast. Some failing BGA memory chip will corrupt image buy you will see at least something.
