Now THAT is worthy of a moment's consideration, if you have the money(ouch!).

Because it's a debug board covered in testing interfaces. Cards can be revived too, and if it is revived it has a ton of potential for messing around with.

$400 is an awfully big gamble though...

Can you all help identify this card?

ES Quadro 64Mb DDR

ES Quadro 64Mb DDR

How did you get that?

ES Quadro 64Mb DDR

Is that a guess?

I'd remove the fan and look up any numbers found on the chip underneath.
Also google the part number on the memory to see what they are and what they were fitted to.
If it runs try GPU-z.

Edit: based on the board number it's a Nvidia Quaddro2 64mb Pro.

 

[lexluthermiester]

How did you get that?

Simple actually. There are several features that card has that would not be present on a retail card. The VBIOS chip has dual connection pads for standard and thin package EEPROMS. Retail cards rarely have those. The stand-off connectors at the top of the card are for debugging. The power delivery circuits use components that are easily tapped for voltage checks, uncommon on retail boards. And last, there's no branding anywhere in the face of the PCB. Even if it were a generic OEM channel card, NVidia requires their logo somewhere visible on the front face of the card. Engineering samples have no such requirement.

Whether or not it's a Quadro is debatable. It could be a Geforce. Additionally, the markings on the ram are difficult to make out so it could be a 128MB or even a 256MB model. It's tough to tell.

@lexluthermiester Thanks so much for the insight! That was a very helpful starting point.

Looks like a GeForce 256 DDR.

Ah there we go. Question is, will standard drivers work with it?

 

[Darthgrey]

How did you get that?

One guy from China has the same card. It also has higher clocks than usual 256.

 

[biffzinker]

The card in question above looks to have SDRAM.

Here’s a GeForce 256 DDR:

That also looks like an ES card.

 

[Caring1]

The pins along the top edge are not just for debugging, so don't allow that to let you confuse them with ES boards.

Can you all help identify this card?

Flip the card over and have a close look at the resistors on the rear.
If R122 is populated and R121 empty it's a Quadro 2 Pro, if it is empty and R121 is populated then it's a GeForce 2.

 

[Mr.Scott]

My Geforce DDR for comparison.
