Is this cool and rare enough for condition and package? Yes, it works.

They must keep the box if they want to resell the card later for a possible upgrade with another card, and/or for RMA/warranty service.
The box is really important to be kept.

You can RMA without box, box can't be requirement for RMA and never was unless you are living in interesting country which thinks thats carton box is valuable thing.


If you have original box that is wicked as hell, especially for older cards.

Several years ago, have seen in person that the GTX 1080 Ti 10GB would be recognized as "GTX 1080 Ti 10GB" and had 3200 cuda, but very sadly I did not take any photo. If anyone owns this card, could you please show us some photos including a GPU-Z specification? Much appreciated!

EXTREMELY RARE!! The NVIDIA GeForce 9900 GTX 1GB engineering samples!! From a Chinese collector.

According to some signs, there also may be the 9900 GTS and 9900 GX2. A known fact is that the 9900 GTX had eventually been launched as the GTX 280.

That was the best ATI card you could get until the Radeon range was released.

Yep, the best for four months! Or so everyone that has ever owned one wishes were true. Absolute nightmare card to get running effectively, and it's not just a driver problem but hardware as well. On paper incredible, in practice almost useless. I sold mine off to a more interested party within a few months, it simply wasn't worth the headache.

Oh I remember these showing up in leaks. The ONE BILLION transistor GPU (actually more, but that's what the tabloids ran with). Lots of people assumed that 9900 GTX was going to be the actual name, with the "9900 GTS" coming in behind it with something akin to the GTX 260's eventual specs. The naming was just NVIDIA trying to keep a cover on the name change for GT200 though, they didn't intend on releasing those as 9900 series.

Here guys,

You might be able to help me with this one.

Picked this up locally quite a few years ago but only just recently discovered its different than what is 'supposed" to be released.

IMG_9025.JPGIMG_9026.JPGIMG_9027.JPGIMG_9028.JPGIMG_9029.JPG

All the serials match up from retail box and card and doesn't look like they have been transferred, nice and clean looking with no fingernail peeling.

The PCB sticker even says, "Batman Edition" and on the HSF shroud says "Batman Edition" too.

What's odd is when you look at the card it says "Mac Edition" at the end of the card.

From what I can see online the top of the HSF shroud should have a sticker looking like this:

What do you guys think? Bit strange hey.

Cheers :toast:

Now I'm curious, what was the problem? I don't remember having any issues at all. Ran perfect for Windows and all the games I cared about at the time.

Did you use it with a ~550MHz Slot 1 system and Windows 98 SE? Because if so you found the sweet spot for compatibility. VIA, SiS, and ALi AGP chipsets throw all kinds of issues ranging from GART driver issues to D3D problems when running at 2x to simply not showing any image at all. ATI drivers after mid-2000 which require DX7 to be installed can also throw the card into a single-GPU only configuration with no toggle to revert it, so you're no better off with the Fury MAXX than a bog standard Rage 128 Pro which, funny enough, works fine with those drivers. NT4/Win2K/WinXP are nearly a complete write-off with no dual-GPU support and many games not working at all on the Fury MAXX when using those operating systems and their respective drivers.

Basically if you have a Slot 1 Pentium III system and only intend to run Windows 98 SE with a handful of 1997-1999 games, the Fury MAXX can kick ass. At reasonably high resolution when AFR works it's as fast as a GF256 DDR... However unlike any of its peers it simply cannot function beyond its tiny window of relevance and falls flat when faced with newer hardware, drivers, and games. It's especially annoying as the Rage 128 series generally just works fine and almost all compatibility and performance problems are unique to the Fury MAXX.

Actually, yeah I think so. 440BX mobo. Never had any issues. I only ever used the drivers that came on the CD though so maybe that was why. I gave my wife the card because it turned out that it was great for the art programs she was running all the time. So I got a Radeon later. It was one of the few times it was a win-win for both of us.

It was a very underwhelming card imo. Toasty, reject TU102 (bad clocks), and everything... To be fair, I was testing this on a X99 ewaste mining rig, but still.

Thank you very much mate! That's what I had been looking for. However, there is still one thing that I'm confused: the one I saw would show "GTX 1080 Ti 10GB" as the name in GPU-Z, but yours only showed "GTX 1080 Ti". What do you think caused this phenomenon?

Hey everyone!
I just made an account here just because I had the urgent purpose of finding out about a GPU that I just saw here on Facebook Marketplace from Chile.

It claims to be an AMD RX 6500 (not XT), very similar to the RX 6300 that was seen in China and eBay. But this one doesn't appear anywhere, and I can't find any information.

Does anyone have any idea about this? The seller is asking around 75 USD.

It's a Dell OEM RX 6500 made by ECS from a current generation Optiplex SFF. Device ID 1028:5081, Dell part number GJD3CAB.

Thank you very much. I have seen some references on the Dell site, but I did not find any product that uses it. And the doubt arose very strongly in my mind because there is no picture or information anywhere, even here.

I will see if I buy it to document it properly.
