These look to be some power filtering/bypass caps. I don't think just the two of them missing would stop the card from working completly, though it's not entirely impossible. Just put some 100nF there with at least 16V rating and that's it. Hard to say from photos like these but probably 0603 size caps.

I think they're 100nf/0.1uf caps as Deunan said.. the card should still work.

If you're not a soldering guy you could leave it, or search on ebay. 0805 in/2012 mm is a good middle size. 16v - 50v. Ceramic capacitor.

oh, i have the same card but for MAC,

could you please dump bios image from you card?

ps.

card should work w/o capacitors 99%

Thank you all for the advice! Much appreciated 👍, yea unfortunately it doesn't boot pretty surprising because physically it's good shape.. but there is a possibility of something else being wrong too. I'll look around for some cheap ceramics!

Yup, like it being a Mac card with non-x86 ROM. Reflashing it without desoldering the chip might be tricky, not to mention there might be some configuration jumpers that need to be changed as well.

Should be able to just flash it to the PC ROM, IIRC the MAC rom simply has some extra boot code on it the MAC needs and there were no hardware changes.

Will need one of them flash adapters that clips onto the ROM, can find them on Evil Bay pretty easy.

Good point I never even considered it might be mac card.

Roger I'll see what I can find, as I have zero mac's in the house.

as i said before, i have same card, it is for PowerMAC

you can flash it using regular atiflash. it is not a problem, just boot from another vga card.

i flashed mine with ATI DDR 32mb image. it is working, but DVI is not available since original ATI DDR has no DVI.

looking for image with DVI enabled.

Did you need a special flash adapter? or did you just put it in a pci slot with a secondary video card to boot and flash it?

nothing special,
just one more vga card.

do not use ati card to not mess things in atiflash.

use atiflash utility for dos and image from radeon.ru:
