Mine is getting old and make some nasty-strange noise.

For today is just a good looking card requires 6 pin power and is good for 2D app. forget gaming is too old

Those 7950GT go for cheap here. I spot one for auction/sale every once in a while. Good DX9 cards. That noise though, you might check if it is coil whine. It will be harder with that card, since it doesn't switch between 2D/3D clocks (to see if there's any change in noise intensity).

Yup. I see planty of them on eBay.

dorsetknob · May 5, 2012

back of card says Intel ADD LP AGP
Silk screen printed on front says LR2907 pcb rev c
Pulled it out from an old Fujitsu Siemens computer
As i understand its purpose was to feed the onboard intel intergrated Graphics from motherbord via the agp slot to moniter
A cheapskate graphics adapter

"edit"
culled this from the Silicon Image website
ADD cards are adapter cards that plug into AGP slots and provide digital video output (DVO) for connection of PC video to digital displays with HDMI® and DVI interfaces using the PC graphics controller to generate the video.

Without further ado...

That is one pretty card. I would test it once to make sure it works fine then frame it.

jp where do you get old hardware brooo

_JP_ · May 6, 2012

By scouting trough online/offline personal ads, auctions, garage sales, flea markets...the usual.
I was actually looking for something else (a cheap mobo sidegrade/upgrade), when I spotted that card.
