I just wanted to share with you my amazing find as my sweet half does definitely not understand why I am so hyper !!
A few weeks back, while browsing my local ads, I noticed an ad for a box full of parts. In the middle of the picture there was a Quadro 980. As I was looking for one, I decided to take a closer look at the ad, I mean 20€ for 28 cards with a Quadro is a good deal in itself.
I zoomed and the batch and noticed few old looking Gpu. I used Google lens on the two most interesting cards as they kinda all look alike from afar. First result... A tnt2 ultra which is kinda rare where I live... Second card a GeForce 256 DDR... Needless to say I messaged the guy directly and told him I was free the next day to pick it up.
So yeah I got the most awesome deal of my retro collecting life!
But that's not all there were some nice sound card as well with it and to top it off the cards are in extremely good condition.
The GeForce DDR appeared to be faulty but with some help of vogoners I got it running very nicely after ( short story there were solder bridges on one ram module)
Notable pieces in the batch:
Quadro 980
Tnt2 ultra
GeForce 256 ddr
S3 virge 64
audician 32+
Soundblaster live digital
Yamaha waveforce
