Can You Identify This Video Card?

[yhelothar]

i have a card that i have problems with and i want to rma, but i can't find out what manufacturer it is.. here are pics...

pic #1

pic #2

so far i found MSI, Asus and Palit to be using purple PCBs, but the shade of purple is a bit brighter, and it uses a different fan...

G4 ti-4400

it says so in the last pic

If I didn't know better, I'd say it was a Gainward. That looks just like the HSF on my Ti4600 Gainward.

 

[Harabecw]

Didn't see any stickers for that...

I asked my friend who has a Purple MSI 4400 and he said it looks just like the one in the pic.

 

[yhelothar]

thanks for your help!

btw your friend's MSI card... does it have the same cooler as the one in the pic? or just the same board?

 

[Viper96720]

MSI makes the PNY boards so it maybe an MSI. I got a PNY that's the same color as your card. But there's a sticker on it that says pny. Mine doesn't have that sticker
in the second picture.

Can you get a whole pic of the front/back?

 

[CurtCold]

That's a VooDoo2 Sli. LOL

GF4, Gainward looking. First purple card I've seen.

Yes, he said the cooler and capacitor locations on the board look the same.

 

[leolaw]

lol did u spray it urself

 

[Metalloid]

It's is definetly a PNY board, I used to have one and would recognize the color anytime. Not sure about that heatsink though.

And I know that MSI makes PNY, but I believe that the MSI boards are red.

 

[Jayczar]

I had an MSI Championship edition that was purple like the PNY.
That heatsink looks spray painted IMHO.

Find the FCC sticker/ID on the card then click this link

 

[Viper96720]

It won't have an FCC ID if it has the tested to comply with fcc standards on it. Then a fcc id isn't needed.

 

[Viper96720]

It's a PNY board found a pic of a 4600 with the same sticker as yours. Just says M-GF4Ti4600APB instead of M-GF4Ti4400APB
PNY Ti 4600

I'd be using a PCI diagnostics utility, read the subsystem vendor ID and card ID registers. Then go www.pcisig.com to search the vendor database for the subsystem vendor ID.
