pm me I am interested, I am located in Canada

Hello Habbs!

Like FalconFly says, it is better to trade here, at least for the moment.

I repeat, the card itself is in perfect shape, but the GPU has no more anything written on it, since I used some sandpaper to lap it. By lapping the surface of the GPU, I got a perfectly flat surface, more suitable to now put a new heatsink and a fan over it (to optimize the heat transfer).

Should you want to put back the stock heatsink and fan (which I still have of course), you would just need to use some thermal paste or a thermal pad (I prefer) in the center of the GPU and put some very strong glue on the edges of the GPU (in very small quantity). The heat would then transfer better than before anyway, because of the lapped GPU and because what 3dfx used to glue the heatsink was crappy as hell and didn't help heat transfer at all.

If you need some pictures because you're not really sure how my card looks like, just let me know, we'll talk about the price later, if you're still interested.

Of course it is! It's just sitting on a shelf inside an antistatic bag, waiting for somebody to take care of it!



Pictures maybe?

That's what I'm selling. The GPU has been lapped for better heat transfer, it isn't broken nor is anything wrong with it. I repeat, I am selling this card because I can't find an adequate heatsink and fan to fit with the holes beside the GPU. The card and the fan work perfectly. Simply use some glue and thermal paste and you're done! Notice the PCI version is much rarer than the AGP variant (you all know this I know...).

Here are the thoughts I would use to make up a price:

1- I bought this card on eBay last year for 50€, which is a lot (probably more than what it's worth today).

2- I always keep in mind that the PCI version of this card always gets higher prices and must therefore be rarer than the AGP version.

3- With this being said, I could say 35€ + shipping (which is 6€) would be my price.

4- But since I was so stupid to remove the heatsink and the fan, my price will go down to 36€ with shipping included. But then again everything is working properly, so it's just a matter of putting everything back together.

Correct, the PCI version is still in demand as it can be used in modern systems and it's not odd for people to have them installed for dual monitor & glide support.

sorry, it is too much... for me! because i dont need pci version.
