Just been given an old PC but I don't have a clue what this card is and can't boot it yet as I don't have a VGA cable to hand. Any ideas?

looks somewhat like a Ti but here the pcb is quite more complex. so, more modern than a GeF 2 Ti for sure.

(my chrome tells me there's malware on this site but it's overclock.net :/ )

looks like some variant of a FX5200, possibly a Ultra

Yea I think ur right, it's a 5200

But, definitely NOT ultra, because ultra would have active cooling.

The 5200 must go down in history as the biggest wankin' card ever.

My geforce 4 Ti 4200 (premium 64gb vram), was way faster, especially since I had overclocked it to 4600 speeds. I could've probably hit 4800 speeds, but I couldn't afford memory sinks at the time. they were $50 :biggrin:

If you google geforce 5200 and check pics. Then it really must be one.

Very good spotted DigDog.

Finally got the pc fixed and booted (it was given to me as not working/scrap) 100% correct DigDog it is a FX5200. Kudos :D.

The machine is surprisingly responsive considering it has a single core (with HT) petium 4 @3.06ghz and about a million toolbars and other bits of crap installed on it, just got to see if I can find something to do with it now.
