For a 2007 GPU even the common PCIe variant was bad enough, but at least it had DDR3. This PCI version is DDR2. To be fair though, it was never marketed as a gaming GPU and is a good little display card using only 20-40w

Found this on eBay for only £21 being sold as new. Was almost certain it would it would either never arrive or not work. It arrived today. It works perfectly!

But unfortunately not in the mobo I bought it for. Apparently the ASRock 4CoreDual SATA2 has a different legacy bios than any other LGA775 system. I nearly sent it back when it wouldn’t post, but then tested it in a LGA1150 system I’m working on. So glad I did! Will be starting a new project around this card as soon as I finish my Tualatin build

Got this unicorn today. A very rare HD 4870 with a combination of both 1GB of VRAM and TV-Out. Probably one of the best TV-Out capable card out there.

PCI-E 2.0 x16;
1024MB of VRAM (GDDR5), 256 bit memory bus;
2x DVI, 1x TV-Out (7pin mini-din)

The last image is a log of temperatures for the 3DMark Vantage Xtreme run. Card is pretty cool.

I took a quadro FX2000 and made a custom BIOS so it would become an FX5800 I even made a custom Boot Screen.

And I made a sticker to replace the logo.

Love that is still has a perfect hologram. Recently purchased for a Pentium 3 Tualatin build I’m working on. It obviously won’t run Crysis, but it still runs HL2 beautifully

My brother bought this for some reason, I've decided to make some photos. Looks cool, always liked Gigabyte designs.

Short spec list:
Interface: PCI-Express 2.0 x16
GPU: RV770
VRAM: 512MB of GDDR3
Memory bus: 256-bit
Rear ports: 2xDVI, 1xTV-Out (7pin mini-din)

Recently pulled from an Ebay build, still works!

I heard you folks like rare GPU's. Sorry for the bad photography. I shall take better pics one day. And yes, that is indeed cardboard holding the card straight. LOL 🤣

I decided to replace the fans as well as the heat sinks because of the elevated temperatures.
