Rare GPUs / Unreleased GPUs

[lexluthermiester]

Not sure how rare this is but not too many cards would have come with custom blocks back in the day!

Matching serials with the original retail box. It comes with a little torch light but unsure if this accessory is originally packaged with the card?

She boots and got through an 03. I just held a fan over the block to replicate a HSF without pumping water through just for now.

Very cool 15 year old card!

Good grief! Yeah, that's a rare one!

Danger Den water block

Danger Den water block

Yeah, seems to be.



And check out the fully sick keyring LED torch light.



I suppose they were supplying it to check for leaks?

I may have missed the answer...did you score it recently?

I know it's not a rare GPU, but the dual-purpose port discussion led me to recall a laptop I had many years ago that had an HDMI/USB port, so you could use the port for either purpose. It was in the early stages of HDMI adoption for PCs. I think I used it as a USB port 99% of the time.

Are you thinking of USB/eSATA combo ports or was it for sure HDMI? I cant imagine USB and HDMI existing in the same socket at all.

Hello everyone, I just bought this RX 6300 for cheap and need to upload the bios. I was wondering if it’s possible to flash into Radeon W6400 seeing as the pcb is the same except for the missing vram. I can add the missing chip but that’s a last resort.

You got me second guessing myself. I've been searching for reviews of what I thought the old laptop was, but I haven't had much luck. It was probably from about 2009, 2010. I do remember having the USB/eSATA ports on things, but not on a laptop. Hmm...

What about the RTX 4060 Ti? I'm pretty sure that's a fairly rare GPU. I mean, how many people have it?

Well, at least 30 people in Germany...

Probably not the best thread for this, I'd try the AMD/ATI GPU subforum > https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/forums/amd-ati-gpus.58/

@Outback Bronze
now start up nibitor 6.06 and have a look at how much volts the card runs.
was very easy to up it especially on watercooled ones.
and i dont have the led torch light

i think i still have a gtx260 same model and totally forgot this was danger den blocks thx to onemanhitsquad
good ol times

 

[Outback Bronze]

and i dont have the led torch light

Wow! Did you originally buy the card brand new or second hand? Do you think that torch light comes with it originally? Doesn't say anything on the box.

I believe they made a 9800 GTX exactly the same. Never seen one!

 

[basco]

yes i worked at a retailer in europe and nobody wanted it and got some evga black pearl cards and bfg ones.
will try to get it out of the cellar and post some pics.

no nothing on the box or never got the torch in europa

i will be giving away all my stuff soon if ya want look me up at hwbot.org
i have it alll still and some are not listed and i never pushed them too far

THAT was a very excellent card! This was when Gigabyte was at their best!

 

[SyWillCry]

Got myself an engineering sample HD 7970. Unfortunately they had slapped an "Amazon.com return" sticker wrapping around the card, which tore off some of the enginering sample sticker. I'll post a full picture and PCB pics when I get around to cleaning up the thing, but here is proof.

Gonna see if I can separate and unfold the squished part of the sticker. EDIT: Sticker was too torn up

I am struggling to tell if the date mark is 25/6/2012 or 25/5/2012. If it's the former, that'd be quite a strange sample, considering that'd put it 3 days after the launch of the GHz edition. The sticker did have "Rev. 1" printed on it, if that helps.

Definitely a 5, flat top of it is the giveaway for me.

To me it looks like a 6. The "5" in the 25 next to it is the clue.

Nice.

AMD Radeon RX 6300 Specs

AFAIK ECS isn't a common brand for video cards, at least Stateside.

Also the 2GB W6300 (apparently), exists:

AMD Radeon PRO W6300 Specs

AMD Navi 24, 2040 MHz, 768 Cores, 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 2048 MB GDDR6, 2000 MHz, 32 bit

www.techpowerup.com

Also, no need to flash it to a W6300 (or whatever).
Use these drivers, and in the install process, select Professional/Enterprise branding/featureset. The opposite is detailed in my thread about wanting to convert my 6500 XT to PRO W6X00. The Custom Drivers allow using the 'Radeon' or 'Radeon PRO' featuresets interchangeably on compatible hardware.

I happen to have taken a liking to Navi 24 cards. IMHO, They're a perfect match for the Gen4x4 chipset-slot on some boards (or a m.2 M-key Gen4 riser, if adventurous).
More pics and a GPU-z screenshot would be much-appreciated
(GPU-Z should let you rip and upload the vBIOS, as well)

Perhaps but it still seems like an unusually flat 6 top to me. Perhaps a better image would suffice? I'm willing to belive theres dark spots of the sticker making it harder to figure out

You could be right. The sticker itself doesn't have the greatest quality of printing. Engineering sample stickers never have been of the greatest quality as they were never intended to be public-facing..

They're the same quality as any other sticker, it's the font choice and size that makes them harder to read with these newer ones. They pack a lot of information into a tiny 13x44mm sticker, so the letters are only 0.5-0.75mm at the largest on some of them.
