FS: Half-working ATI Radeon 4870 - $50 shipped

#1 Post by Medessec » Wed Jan 29, 2014 8:06 pm

Hello!

My roommate has this partially working 4870 he may want to get rid of... I'm just posting it on here to see if there's any interest.

It's really only useful for diagnostics or repair, which would be handy for someone who wants a GPU that is still substantially powerful.

Most of the time, getting a computer to POST with it works perfectly fine, but 5 to 10 minutes booting up to Windows will cause it to display severe artifacting, eventually resulting in discoloration and non-functioning video, or a BSOD. The card does require two PCI-E 6-pin power connectors and a 500W+ PSU to safely operate.

The video card looks exactly like this:

Aside from a bit of dust. I've also put fresh AS5 on it in hoping I could remedy the artifacting myself.

I'd take $50 shipped, or best offer. We might not even sell it... we're just looking to see if anyone can make good use of it in the first place. If you're interested, PLEASE send me a PM.
Trying my hardest to collect Thinkpads, but college and being broke kinda gets in the way. However...
