I just got my hands on a Club3D version of the AGP flavour of the Radeon HD4670 and, well, I'm not getting any picture output. I've tried two different monitors, AGP and DVI.

I've confirmed with another GPU that everything should be working fine.

The motherboard I'm using is an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe Rev.2.0, 512MB of RAM and a 1.9GHz Pentium 4 (SL5VK) along with a PSU that should be more than capable of handling everything.

Is that card just not compatible with this motherboard?

Does your system post? Have you tried a different GPU?

Win98 rig: Athlon XP 2500+/512MB RAM/Gigabyte GA-7VT600/SB Audigy/GF FX5700/Voodoo2 12MB
WinXP rig: HP RP5800 - Pentium G850/2GB RAM/GF GT530 1GB
Amiga: A600/2MB RAM
PS3: Slim, CFW, mostly for RetroArch & PSX games
PS2: Fat, FMCB

I've had issues with my HD3850 with my Gigabyte GA-K8U it will stop POSTing (generally when I overclocked the system a bit too far) and the only way to get it to work again was to put another AGP card in the system, turn it on and boot to Windows, then shut it down and replace the HD3850. Probably not the issue you're having, but I thought I'd mention it.

After watching many YouTube videos about older computer hardware, YouTube began recommending videos about trains - are they trying to tell me something?

I haven't even gotten to the 'install the OS' part of the whole fiasco... I'm just now building the damn thing

upon further fuckery:

the system works with another Pentium 4 (2.8GHz, 800MHz FSB)

i've successfully slotted in two more 256MB dimms for a grand total of 1 entire gigabyte of ram.

the system seems to be doing system things - the caps lock and num lock lights work on command, all three lights flash on the keyboard for a second on boot. i just don't get ANY kind of signal off the GPU so I'm somewhat afraid I got a lemon...

I busted the retaining clamps on the damned cooler (whose idea was to make these out of plastic?) so any further fuckery is going to have to wait until i either find a new cooler or i the one i ordered arrives or has to be kept at short enough bursts so i can sustain proper-ish clamping bressure with my hand.

If you have one of those $10 PCI post code analyzer cards, it can be handy because you can see if you get through the full P.O.S.T. or not.

Your card is going to have an AGP / PCI bridge in there. If I remember correctly, some motherboard chipsets didn't like the bridges, but I think those were mainly the boards with the universal AGP slots. Your board should be good.
