That top card is the Original Radeon ddr before the number scheme. It came right after the Rage Fury Pro and Rage Fury Maxx. I have the 64mb version tucked away in my closet still in it's full retail box. My Rage Fury pro is residing in my win 98 rig.

I loled when I heard they didn't work on NT-based OSes. Biggest fail ever.

GreiverBlade · Sep 11, 2013

am i sane ...

i testing the AM2+ rigs with my 7870

the vibration from the 7200rpm hdd make the shroud of the gpu vibrate a bit

and the only HDD place is on the two last slot of the board :eek:

wich make a 2 slot card hang over the HDD haha i have to take some pics of Oldies meet Newies :roll:

its a little overkill for that rig over the original 3650

You okay. LOL I am getting ready to pop either a 6850 or a 7770 in my Am2 /Am2+ rig to replace the 4870 that's in it. I think it's time to retire the good ol' 4870 DK.

i was thinking of getting a single slot 7770 (GDDR5 ofc) due to the unusual HDD placement

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Sep 11, 2013

7770 would be great in that system. I have one in a 1055t rig I have and it's a pretty decent card. I have another one on the way to go in my Am2+ 970 be rig. But by the time it gets here I may change my mind and end up with both in my 1090t rig to replace the 6850's in there.

xvi · Sep 11, 2013

Even my 5870 made me regret sticking with my 4870/4850 for so long. They were/are decent cards, but I had to use a second PSU to power them. Power draw just wasn't worth it, certainly not crossfired together at least.

..and I have to say, that's a pretty sweet AM2 build, Greiver.

Jetster · Sep 12, 2013

Almost ready to fire up

GreiverBlade · Sep 12, 2013

so thats what i mean ... it even made me think of taking a Silverstone SST Sugo SG09B until

oh wait ---- that the 3 slot GTX480... woopsies
untill...

i decided to add a 5.25 to 3.5 rack top of the dvd writer and switch the 380w psu for the 600w GX Lite, since that case has a separated psu encosure and vented top its better than the Antec original one.

GreiverBlade · Sep 12, 2013

for the sake of the god old bag i have to say... this rigs rocks!

since i got it i didnt fired up neither of my "modern" HAF XB rigs
i can run Firefall smoothly on it (thanks to the 7870 i guess xD) with a fairly decent amount of "high settings"

next idea : i have brought a Arctic Accelero Hybride AIO watercooling and i will get it on the 480 for the oldie... new and old tech for the greater good ... dahahah ... now i hope i will get the delivery tomorrow morning...

lets laugh, the 1st screen is for hum ... :roll:

indeed old bag still kicks and rocks im almost tempted to resell my PhII X4 955 rigs :roll:

Jstn7477 · Sep 12, 2013

So the engineering department at the community college I attend was trying to get rid of a pile of brand new Centronics cables (never opened) and I managed to find this brand new bargain POS graphics card with a SiS 6326 core, 8MB EDO RAM and PCI interface. I tried it in my ASRock 4CoreDual-SATAII and it POSTs but the machine hangs with the monitor out of range when Windows tries to load. Also, those CompUSA bastards took a picture of an SDRAM-based model for the box but they at least slapped a heatsink on the GPU when the box photo omits one. Also notice the non-existent driver support for a card manufactured in late 1999. :roll:

Nostalgic enough?

torgoth · Sep 13, 2013

not as nostalgic as some around here, but still, its from the first PC I ever built! :toast:

also I miss Sapphire having these colourful designs

Ill have to clean it somehow xD

xvi · Sep 13, 2013

My first dedicated graphics card was a K6-2 500Mhz, GeForce 2 MX PCI (my Soyo brand board didn't power the AGP port properly). That makes me feel old.
It could play Star Wars Episode I: Racer at good frame rates and that made me happy.

TRWOV · Sep 13, 2013

My first was a CirrusLogic something 1MB card

First rig I built was a K6-2 333 system with the rage fury pro card I have in my win 98 rig. I still have the Star Wars Episode I Racer Pod Racing game.

Jetster · Sep 14, 2013

So now Im installing XP on this. And all I keep thinking is man I love W7

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Sep 14, 2013

I wish we could go back to win 98. Times where so great back then. LOL I mean having to format a re-install the os every couple months, then having to load drivers and such with floppy disks. The best thing was cleaning the ball and rollers of the mouse. Great times oh great times.

Jetster · Sep 14, 2013

I still have a PS2 ball mouse and PS2 keyboard. And a copy of 98, ME, 95. 3.11 and DOS 6.22

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Sep 14, 2013

Me too LOL. Some stuff I just can bear to part with.
