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.

Component layout at least for the ASIC decoupling matches RV670. So 3850/3870.

Ok i got the gpuz pic. I think this is an oem 4730 but slower clocks.

I bought it for 5k huf (~15 USD) just for fun (it is on post). I will remove the cooler for the gpu markings.

Interesting, Fouquin was right, it is a RV670 (HD 38x0) chip with the same amount of funcitonal units and much lower clocks, but components are not placed in that order at least that one RAM chip that was at a 45° angle on a HD3870 card isn't...
A curious mess named HD 4xxx with HD38x0 weak AA/ROP performance no doubt...

More pictures about the fake 5970 2Gb
Box is unmarked white, driver and manual is some generic chinese for nvidia and ati cards.
No fan control, just a resistor on the fan cable.
I replaced the white thermal paste with gelid paste. When i have time i will test it!
A3850PR-LF rev1.0 on the pcb.
HYB18T512161B2F-20 ram 64mbx16 800mhz? 1Gb

That right there tells you everything - it's a Radeon HD 3850 low format (1 slot). Cute and all if it was dirt cheap, but man are these fakers getting desperate.

Ruru · Mar 10, 2022

The fake card manufacturers should even try.. even the fake Nvidias look more believable.

masterdeejay · Mar 10, 2022

It is very hot and loud. If i istall the driver i got BSOD for some atisomething.sys so it is possible the gpu is dead, or it is a wrong bios on the card.

Clocks are interesing, but the real clock is half of the real 3850. Only 333mhz gpu and DDR2-400 for the ram. I only can use with the default windows 10 drivers. (win 10 supports older ati cards just need wddm at least, i have an 5450 on my win11 big rig.)
Cant run benchmarks with the default driver, 3dmar01se is reporting only microsoft driver and runs on cpu.
Sometimes it shows the correct clocks.

pavle · Mar 11, 2022

If the driver worked on Win10 (D3D, OGL) I'd say try a HD3850 BIOS on the card with the clocks and voltages edited so they are like on this phony BIOS, but otherwise it's more or less a curious ornament.

masterdeejay · Mar 12, 2022

With 3850 bios i get no 3d acceleration.
I have modded the firmware to 4730 OEM, now it is working in 3d mark and games. I started testing it. A clocks are 2x than the original chinese bios.

3D01 Benchmark score is bugged.
Your high detail tests are all over the place.
Vantage GPU tests are half of what they should be.

Here's some HD 3850 DDR2 BIOSes if you want to try these: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios...sion=&interface=&memType=DDR2&memSize=&since=

TOMCAT · Mar 19, 2022

Just another hint for a matching HD 3850 DDR2 card.
The PowerColor AX3850 1GBD2 (LF R67B V1.0) has identical Qimonda DDR2 chips, but still a different PCB layout.

ExcuseMeWtf · Mar 19, 2022

Didn't know those could have DDR2 too. Then it is even further gimped lol. Not that it matters with how old it is.

masterdeejay · Mar 21, 2022

Another interesting card, the gpu is not rare, it was common on servers in integrated form. But i think this card version is not common.
Xgi Volari Z11 1x Pcie.
http://www.sunix.com.tw/product/vga0411.html
There is no hw acceleration not even video decoding, it is just a 2D card for server console. Only 2W Tdp so no cooling.
Only one Vram Hynix H5PS5162GFR-Y5C 64Mb 32bit bandwith
Works on windows 7 64bit.
FullHD res is with 16 bit color only. Image quality is good. Not working on uefi motherboards. Not a good card for modern day use.

That is the one card could not get my hands on...but loved my old Kyro II.

Not rare but not common. From trash, bad condition, rust. PowerColor EvilKing 3 Extreme (183 marking on pcb)
Non reference yellow pcb 3Dfx Voodoo3 3000 that works on at 3500 clocks by default (183mhz gpu and vram). 5ns vram so 200mhz possible.
4 capacitor damaged or missing (sometimes artifacts on screen but stable), fan cable and connector damaged. I will fix it because i think it is the fastest voodoo3 3000.
After cleaned:

New-Old Ati 7000 pci. Pcb is from 2004, video bios is 2006. Very common gpu but it is a very late card.

That was a great card for PCs that didn't have an AGP slot! And it's the 64MB DDR version.

The King · Apr 4, 2022

I have a GPU collection that start many many years ago. Some rare GPU.
There are well over 300 GPUs the last time I checked.

I don't know if this is anything or not, but just in case it not "just" a chopped up 5970:
