I tried extracting the drivers from those type of packs but without success. Those are for the embedded i752 from the i810e? chipset.

It's for the integrated i752, yeah. Should be identical to desktop with simply a different device ID. You should be able to force it with device manager. Perhaps there's a clever way to configure the device IDs too, but since Intel GPUs aren't a heavily invested topic among most I haven't heard about anything.

No dice. These were a very limited batch of ES cards. Very few even went out of the door.
Damn. Nice find though. There's got to be something out there that'll work otherwise how would Intel's R&D have made it work for testing...

You might be on to something with this. Perhaps it would work with the i740 drivers if the id was altered or inserted into the inf file.

I found reference to that card and a pic by @erek on [H]ardForum.
It might take the same drivers as a 752 TV tuner card for XP with any luck IMO.

The right side of picture three shows actual BIOS info. I believe it is flashed to Dell OEM by a pre-owner.

Not long ago I was able to buy a pair of ATI HD 2900XTX. They were looking a bit used, but still, not often somebody have an opportunity to buy at least one of those cards, so I was pretty exited.

2900xtx.jpg

So, what can I say - they both has the same revision and were made in the same day - Rev. 15 dated 14-th of December 2006, both GPU's were made on week 48 2006:

IMG_20211215_132856.jpgIMG_20211215_132934.jpg

IMG_20211215_140104.jpgIMG_20211215_140146.jpgIMG_20211215_140215.jpg

Holder on one of the cards was cut by previous owner, maybe there was not enough space in his computer case to run them in crossfire mode, who knows.

GPUz recognize them as ATI Radeon 2900XT and shows weather on Mars instead of correct GPU and memory clocks:

GPUZ.jpg

Videocard works in PCI-E 8x mode because I installed it in second slot on my test motherboard. However RivaTuner show correct clocks - for GPU 810 Mhz, for memory 2000 Mhz, so it's definately radeon 2900XTX:

2006 AA.jpg

When I disassembled them I found no dust on radiator and on the fan, absolute zero, like new ones. Black spots on copper radiator which I thought was dust it fact were remains of soldering between some of heat pipes and fins. Both cards were not able to run 3D applications with 10.2, 13.4, 9.11 drivers, but works fine with 7.6 driver under Windows XP x86 with original BIOS. From the beginning cards showed some artifacts, absolutely the same on both cards, but after clean install of 7.6 driver (before I installed them one by one without deleting previous one) picture become clean in all 3DMarks, here are some pics:

And final 3D Mark score:

I want to say, that this long cooling system is much better than retail one, only 50*C with 45-50% RPM. On 100% it is more loud then my vacuum cleaner and hair dryer together :laugh: And even more - on 100% RPM because of vibrations card jumped from PCI-E slot on my bench system :eek: So I did not tested it on 100% more thoroughly, I don't have bench table and without it it's impossible to fix card in a PCI-E slot properly. Hope it was interesting, later on I will upload original BIOS of one of my cards.

Is that a GeForce 5900 Ultra? It's ugly, but man, it's beautiful at the same time! o_O

Same as this! Cards like these used to be my dream when I was still rocking a Radeon 9600 XT. :rolleyes:

Very nice! I saw these for sale and was really hoping somebody in one of our communities would snap them up. Lovely to have matching cards from the same batch, and hey, look at that... Those are from the same lot as mine!

Glad you could bench them. Mine doesn't play nice with 3D at all. A12s seem to be a 50/50 whether they'll work right. Reporting as a 2900 XT is the correct behaviour for these cards, the firmware was mostly reused on the A13 XTX and then A13 XT. There's a few evaluation 1GB A13 XT boards that even have the A13 XTX firmware on them. The only thing that'll tell you which is the BIOS string info screen, which can be viewed in the Advanced tab of GPU-Z.

Sorry, no pre-release BIOS, updated to normal one. But still a ES card.

Earlier Version than Door 13 and door 14, this card has the pre release BIOS!

The earliest card with reduced GPU clock and more shaders than the three others.
