Yesssir! 3300 A2. Even some sticker residue from the NFR stickers.. but they are not on the card. Also it looks like the little 4.7 coily thing is bent a bit.. (seller doesn't know how to ship) BUT I think everything will be OK. I'll report back later.

Like other 5500 4x cards it comes with 1.12 BIOS dated 7/21/2000. (no splash screen on startup however, which I read is normal) What is the going rate for these little guys? Dumped the BIOS here - http://rottentreats.com/4x/V5_5500_4X_BIOS.BIN

Well, you could trust me or not, but some of these don't necessarily have NFR sticker, although they are proto-cards ...or not. It depends by the story of the card.

I would leave the card as is, since we can't really know what there was behind.

If there is sticker residue it's kind of a dead giveaway there was one originally I would have thought. Often ebayers remove the stickers because they think they can't sell the card otherwise. I guess it's up to him.

Very nice card nevertheless.

Just use one from a dead V4/V5, the replacement itself is easy (if you know how to).

Ok, here is my story. /edited

I wanted to test the Rev.A0 5500 (pcb date 1500) in my V6K rig. Which has a Epox 8k3a+ motherboard in it. I tested a regular 5500 AGP last night and it worked fine.

So I got home and plugged in the Rev.A0 but I did not get any display. So then I tried a non-3dfx PCI card and it worked fine. (ruling out any system issues)

So I got out a spare 8K3A+ (pictured) Still no luck in the different motherboard with the Rev.A0. Computer booted fine with a non-3dfx PCI card and when I had the Rev.A0 plugged in as a "slave" it was not seen in windows.
