Hello all,

I have bought a V5 that was supposed to be working, however, seems that only in 2D. Whenever I try to run 3D, the card locks up. From the inspection of the card, I identified 6 ripped capacitors, 1 big electrolytic SMD at the front (C74) and 5 small SMD caps at the back (C548, C556, C559, C562, C553).

What the card does is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JBIgnjPeRk

Quake 2 locks up on black screen, same 3DMark99.

I would like to know, if from these pictures and video, can someone tell me if both chips are actually OK and only the capacitors need to be replaced, or there is potentially more problems with the card. I was offered a discount, the card would be 230E in current condition, I wonder if it's worth it.

Thank you
