@aaronage@mastodon.social I am tempted to take a dremel to the screw to get the heat sink off which would at least answer the RAM chip model number question and give more certainty about which of the available vBIOS might work. But I’m clumsy and I will destroy something important in the process.

I’m trying to find a slightly less dodgy vBIOS for it with more standard clock speeds so I can get a decent level of performance out of it. However the chance of me turning it into a paperweight in the process are high. Watch this space. 😆 Oh and I can’t get the heat sink off to check chip markings because one of the previous owners rounded out one of the screws. So very dodgy!

@aaronage@mastodon.social It seems well put together but a few things point to it being a “fake”. I wonder if the GPU itself has been scavenged off another card in the first place. 🤷

@aaronage@mastodon.social Hope you get away without any drama! 🤞

@ttscoff@nojack.easydns.ca I clicked a Facebook link for you but I will admit that it was worth it.

@feld@bikeshed.party Thanks. I hate it.

@nikdoof@mastodon.incognitus.net I love playing with slightly shit hardware. I’m £40 into this card even with new fans on the way so I’ll take a risk. I hope that is the case. I’ve found some firmware that should work but I’m having major trouble finding straight info about what the consequences of getting it wrong are.
