I think everybody had one at the time .

Some pics of Abit I tested some time ago (unfortunately, it had artefacts even on BIOS screen):

Sucks that working 9700/9800 cards are getting more and more rare... I have never had a XT unless a biosflashed 9800 Pro @ XT counts


Tho I'm getting something way more special soon

have you already tried to put it in the oven for 10min at 190C?
I fixed one with this method

Card isn't mine. And I don't count that as repair .
Artefacts looked memory related. Maybe lowering the clocks would have helped.

well it's a last resort to make the card work again, better than leave it broken I guess.
then yes, even if it fixes the issue it's not guarantee to last forever...

have a few Radeon that aren't able to keep stock memory freq. but they don't have issues in 2D, so not sure that lowering the freq. would help if the problems are already visible during POST, but ye could be

I guess I post my gfx card collection too, do you want to see my CPU collection too?

ELSA GF3 Ti 200, works and OC's between GF3 and Ti 500 levels, cooler taken from dead 9700 Pro:

XFX 6600 GT, works but no cooler as it had the Zalman I put on HD 3850:

Gigabyte 6600 GT, works fine:

Gainward 7600 GS, dead:

Club 3D 7800 GS, dead:

Sapphire HD 3850, works

Club 3D 9550, works:

Gigabyte 9700 Pro, dead (before deshimming), stole the cooler from this to that GF3 Ti 200:

Connect 3D X800 Pro, works:

Gigabyte X800 XL, maybe dead..?:

Then, some PCIe ones:

Club 3D HD 3450, modifying it to a PCIe x1, work in progress

A dead Sapphire X1950 GT:

Gainward 7800 GT, works though the locking piece of PCIe is broken:

MSI 8800 GT Zilent:

Radeon HD 5770 with a fullcover block:

2x XFX HD 4890:

I also have an Asus GTX 560 Ti DCUII and Powercolor HD 7850 but they're in use

Nice collection. I totally miss HD48xx seris from my collection .

 

[Ruru]

Nice collection. I totally miss HD48xx seris from my collection .

4890 is without a doubt one of my favourite cards ever, in fact it was the first card to have an 1GHz factory OC model.

Also when I had my first 4890 in 2009, that also OC'd to 1040MHz. Sucks that neither of those which I have now won't go 1GHz.

 

[stef]

Found few fun ones to share from collection.
First two are PowerColor Radeon 9500, 128-bit and 256-bit version. Both unlockable to 8 pipes. 128-bit one even reaches 400+ Mhz on core with all pipes.

This I bought on other forum, It's Sapphire Vapor-X HD5770. Someone put Zerotherm cooler on it which was mainly used on PowerColor models.
But it works great on the card and looks much better then Sapphire's PoC cooler .

I remember those Zerotherm coolers, looks like a knockoff of VF900 which u seem to have too, but didn't those perform actually pretty ok?

 

[stef]

Zerotherm is heavier and has thicker pipe. Looks better too.

 

[80-watt Hamster]

Do I need to grab my 8800 GT and take a picture?

I'd join the party with a snap of my 9800 GT, but I can't find it.

 

[freeagent]

I had this bad girl in the other day, she still knows how to rock it

And I needed it to start my board because the 980 was incommunicado

Happened twice so she is a life saver too..

ooh I love ELSA cards, wish I have more than few
but this 721 had some very bad time, did you got it like this or you ripped off all the original cooling?
it should look like this

 

[QuietBob]

Sapphire HD 3850, works

I'd sink that Rialto bridge if you want the card to last. It hits crazy temps, higher than the GPU actually. Would be a shame to see it go.

I had this bad girl in the other day, she still knows how to rock it

So what does she have?

 

[freeagent]

I burned the bios eons ago with my favorite core/mem/voltage/fan curve.. only problem with that is I need a specific driver and specific version of gpu tweak to reprogram it.. and I don’t remember which version doesn’t crash.. they all do except for one. It runs at 920/1100. I can tweak it a little but need to open the taps on the voltage.. I have been here before where I have to download and install every single version and uninstall until I find the right one.. for the most part I have moved on

You don’t want to run it with minimal airflow, or worse in sli because it will easily hit 100c just running heaven in that config. So I can’t just sell it like this heheh.. but I’m pretty sure I have to roll all the way back to 314.xx.. something something.. ugh. Stock is like 817 core or something.. I think she got somewhere around 47-50K in 3dm06 with my 5600X.. somewhere around there..
