NEW LISTINGIntel larrabee knights Ferry working prototype!!!​

https://www.ebay.com/itm/224805929892?hash=item34577a43a4:g:RaEAAOSwMPBh7uyJ

BTW it's not "The one and only working Larrabee prototype in the world")



There is at least one more. It gives picture, it can show Windows10 desktop and even can run Unigine Heaven on Low settings with default drivers. I was not sure if Larrabee itself render all the 3D, HDMI cable was inserted in Larrabee directly, so later I checked integrated GPU separately and it's 15 times faster

Aha, I had thought there were more working cards. I've been scouring the internet looking for references to another working Larrabee since Dani put theirs up for sale. I remember when their video/posts about that card made the rounds and somebody had posted about other working cards that had different BIOS builds.

Here is a strange unreleased version of Apple ATI Radeon HD3870, found it on ebay in November:



You can see, that this version of HD3870 don't have any crossfire connectors! Also she has 512Mb GDDR4 memory K4U52324QE-BC08 like any usual HD3870.



Bottom part of cooling system is made from aluminum + it has two separate radiators, one big made from copper for GPU and separate small one for memory.



Unfortunately this particular card is not working and was sold as for parts and not working, but still it's a cool piece of hardware.

Oh nice, have you plugged it into any Macs yet? I think I was chatting with CoolTweak, or maybe someone else, about buying this when it popped up. I still have all the listing photos saved in the event it disappeared.

No, stiil no, she has some broken caps on the back side, so still need to fix it. This card was sold twice actually: first time somebody bought it for $90 and later on sold again from new account for a higher price. I still wonder where it came from, in google pics there is a manual how to install it in Mac, but no live photos of card except in this manual.

I will describe that cooler as the very definition of "plain Jane" ...nice snag

One more experiment with Larrabee, now on AMD AM3 platform. My x6 1090T 100% don't have integrated video, so this is real Larrabee 3D performance in Unigine Heaven benchmark:

One would think it would have done better than that.

That GPU model could easily be an Intel mobile CPU name...

Does DX9 work with this card? If so, I wonder if it "likes" that any more than DX11

Unigine Heaven don't work in DirectX 9 and OpenGL mode with this card, also it's not working even in DX11, but on Windows7, only Windows 10.

Is this not just running on D3D WARP at this point?

 

[NoiseBox]

Apologies if these have been mentioned before, but anyone remember the Bitboyz Oy Glaze3D cards?

 

[Darthgrey]

I don't know, how can I check?

 

[pavle]

I don't know, how can I check?

Try dxdiag (Start->Run) and then DX9 tests... And also rthdribl (DX9 real time high dynamic range image based lighting) comes to mind, but alas original page (http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/rthdribl/) doesn't work, here's workupload's link.

 

[Darthgrey]

Well... It can run some DirectX 9 tests like 3DMark 2003, 2005, 2006. It can even run some games like Battlefield 3 and STALKER CoP with a very low frame rate. I checked more games, but not all of them works. If it works all CPU cores are fully loaded so yes, I think it is Windows advanced rasterization platform helps to run 3D scenes using extra CPU cores.

Where's the nudes

I managed to quickly snag another Abit OTES card that I've been searching for.

This one is a GeForce FX 5600 Ultra. It has survived in decent condition and completes 3dmark loops with no issues.

Like the OTES 1 on the GeForce 4 Ti4200-8x this cooler is two pin and runs at 100% all of the time but it is noticeably quieter than the OTES 1.

I'd love to find the Abit OTES GeForce FX 5800 but don't have high hopes that any will pop up.

I'd love to find the Abit OTES GeForce FX 5800 but don't have high hopes that any will pop up.

At least it looks to have the same (or at least similar) cooler and it's probably much better than the horrible dustbuster FlowFX Nvidia stock one.

 

[OtterSpace]

The 5800 OTES is a three pin version of the same cooler on the 5600 Ultra but has a different IO bracket and memory heatsinks. I'll probably take this one apart to see what the pinout is on the fan on the 5600 Ultra.

Edit: on further review all of the images of the 5800 OTES some are two pin and some are three pin and the memory heatsinks are slightly different for each version.

In looking at that header on the 5800 ultra it looks like this header is always 2 pins and not loaded. Perhaps the 3 pin version was a working prototype during 5800 ultra cooler development if Abit worked with nVidia? no idea.

It is a fake HD5970 but anyone know what GPU on this card? I only have this pictures. It is on a local auction page with no price but i want to buy it.
One D-sub, One DVI and a Svideo. Only One 6pin PCIE power. Sapphire marking is only a sticker. Mfd 2008.

I'd guess it's a HD5770 or even a HD 4850.

 

[Ruru]

Never seen that board design before. A HD 4850 could be a good guess from me as well.

A Sapphire 5970 should be an dual GPU card and look more like this:

HD 4850 1GB or 2GB

Strange design yes. It has the D-sub in the lower section of the bracket, which is not common on these. Can't see from the picture if it is a dual slot card.
"PWOERED BY"... lol
