I threw one of those away, not too long ago.

Along with an Orchid Fahrenheit 1280 VLB.

Both cards would run at 50MHz on the vlb port; not all cards would, most would only do 33MHz.

I still have the 484dx4/100 and mobo that would run 50MHz...

I really need to look thru all my old stuff, lol.

Oh you should have Ebay'd those.

For preservation sake, please don't throw those away!

I've never even seen a VLB card live I guess AGP is just my thing when it comes to older hardware

 

[Grog6]

I'm going to go thru and look and see what I still have; it's possible I put that stuff in the basement, but I remember thinking "what do I need VLB for?"

Well, about $5k, lol.

I still have two IBM 330 EISA servers, I use for some A-2000 data aq cards; they're Dual Pentium Pro processors.
I think I still have the 230's as well; they were dual slot type, iirc.

I still have a cherry PC XT and PC AT that are stock, with floppies and all.
And a Model 50/286 PS2, lol.

It figures I'd toss the valuable stuff.

I've been helping a friend rebuild his AMD X5-133 system from his youth and it really is incredibly difficult to get good hardware in working condition. Finding that hardware at a fair price is another totally different issue.

I'm just glad I kept a few EISA I/O and VLB GUI accelerators, those seem to have all jumped in price.

Another find with the help of @HWC-Cowboy!

AMD Radeon R9 Fury Reference design for AIBs. Complete with both the original pre-release reference BIOS and a post-release BIOS.



Even has the Hitachi graphite pad.

AMD gets a lot of shit for shipping under performing reference coolers, and rightfully so. They have been creating cards like this (and the 390X posted awhile back) as reference designs for their AIBs since 2014, but what got shipped to customers (not counting the well equipped AIO cards) were cost-reduced blowers with some 'industrial design'. The behemoths they test in the labs and send to their partners as templates always seemed to stop just short of the consumer's hands, despite being functional, thoughtful designs built and ready to go.

Obviously the cost per unit goes up, and with it the return on investment plummets... But I think the improved consumer relations and avoidance of negative mindshare would have offset those costs by maybe shipping more units. Imagine if Vega Frontier Edition shipped with this exact cooler, with that cool blue brushed aluminum look and the little "R" accent cube? Cooler, quieter, and with more stable/predictable performance. Imagine not needing to toss out the stock cooler for an AIO or custom water on a (at the time) $1,000 GPU. Not saying it would have saved Vega at launch, it's just something to think about.

Anyway I'm stoked to have this card. It sits right between my R9 390X and Fury X engineering samples and fills in some more details of what AMD was doing and thinking behind the curtains back in 2015. Ideas that eventually came to market a mere four years later.

So it's just a card built by XFX and sold as OEM?

You've got it the wrong way around, this is the card built by AMD that XFX stuck their stickers to. See: Reference Cards

Now that's a heatsink!

I don't believe AMD ever did a reference cooler for that card. The fury X had the AIO and the fury Nano had a reference cooler. The XFX and Sapphire cards have similar cooler to each other and the model you have, but I would wager a bet that Pine Group manufactured the card you have.

My sapphire built OEM HD4850's were the exact same was, as are the multiple Asus 1070's I mined with. OEM card from whatever company, lacked a backplate, identical to a reference card from maker of your choice. OEM's like Dell will even have the AMD/NV sticker on the card instead of the Asus/Sapphire/Whatever.
