the "weird connector" is for SDI, and the "S-Video connector" is actually for stereo 3D
STEREO 3D
I thought it was S-Video until I saw it was missing two pins. Thanks for the clarification!
the "weird connector" is a 14-pin header for nvidia quadro g-sync, and the round connector is a workstation stereo connector
correct (y) pressed like !
Yes!
At this point Dawid should just put together all of his haunted PC parts into a single system and finally complete his slip into madness
💖
No! if he did that Cthulhu himself would awaken and use the PC as a gateway into Earth.
Elder sign anyone no? Darn 😅
Your suffering for our entertainment will NEVER be taken for granted, Dawid! And props to Anna for engaging in the Craiglist Knife Battle with Silk Pajamas Man!
he can melt down and sell that copper heat sink down and sell it for its weight in gold value Hes lies that it is worth 3 penny's
@@raven4k998 You're right it's probably worth 4 pennies.

What you described around the 9 minute mark is what mechanics have to do with older rusty cars when something difficult to access needs repair. Funny stuff
That one cpu cooler at 7:58 looks wild asf
Those were really popular at the time lol. Always thought it looked like barbed wire.
It looks awesome! I kinda want one.
Early to mid 2000s components could get really wild.
I want one. Whats it called?
More funny that it appears from STATIC bag
I absolutely love the execution of your humor. I would listen to you talk about anything lol
msi afterburner is like the gpu's not trying at all🤣
The "heatsinked" memory chips are close to the VRM-part of the card and may get additional heat from there. So they gave them additional cooling. ^^
G'day Braden, I had the same thought about those MEM chips getting hotter,
plus while helping dissipate Heat those fins would also help guide the Airflow over the MEM Chips to the VRM Cooler
In the summer of 2007 I was able to purchase 4 of these cards for price of $ 3,400 from a Big Sams that was going out of business. I have been running these cards is quad sli ever since. Say what you will but with Windows XP I have been very happy with my rig. I am able to play Minecraft at 480p at 47 FPS. Eat your heart out Dawid!
what the fuck
That is God damned amazing. Also, I miss playing Minecraft Alpha and early Beta. It was so fun. Haven't played it since right before version 1.6 and it was on an old Dell Poweredge 2800 and a GT 610 PCIe x1. That server was s complete pig but it was all I had for late games for nearly a year.
No you haven't.
The FX 4400 doesn't support more than two cards in SLi.
It's only got one SLi finger.
@@chrunchyhoboThis is a satire comment.
Hi! I know the reason why you had all of these problems! This is card was made for the 32 bits era and it was expecting to work along with 32 bits drivers. Which even though you was installing 32 bits drivers because the working environment around was 64 bits, there was some issue on the common files usage (which at the time video card drivers were using all the time). By example, if you had installed a 32 bits of Windows XP Pro instead of the 64 one (which by the way, the 64 bits version of XP is known to be problematic aka unstable in many situation as this is a not a TRUE 64 bits environment, so many conflict happens) since the start 95% of the problem you had would have been resolved by itself due to the plug and play nature of Windows.
i noticed that too
"Windows XP x64"
that means he installed the super unstable janky 64 bit version of WinXP, which indeed was never meant to be, that along with the old ass GPU was just a recipe for problems
The 32-bit windows XP images are way easier to find as well.
I was very surprised to see him installing 64 bit XP as well. I heard there was nothing really available for it. 32 bit XP is fantastic and it STILL feels new to me sometimes.
@@DragoSmash There was nothing unstable or "janky" about Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. It was quite literally Windows Server 2003 x64 with a Windows XP UI slapped on it. Server 2003 was the last server version of Windows that was actually good.
I ran numerous machines with XP professional x64 Edition for years and never had any issues with it, besides not being able to run 16 bit software. It was my daily driver as well, and I gamed heavily on it. Driver support was spotty in the beginning, but quickly caught up with the Server 2003 x64 install base forcing hardware vendors to write good drivers.
There were two other 64 bit Windows XP versions that are relatively unknown, and those WERE janky and unstable. Windows XP 64 bit edition, or its long name, Windows XP 64 bit Edition for Itanium Systems. Then the followup Windows XP 2003 Edition, which was for Itanium 2 systems. Those versions saw almost no development and were extremely barren. The only reason they existed is because of Microsoft's contractual obligations, and when that went away, so did those versions of XP. I think both only had a lifespan of just a couple years and never did run right. Plus they were missing tons of functionality that existed in every other version of XP.
>which by the way, the 64 bits version of XP is known to be problematic aka unstable in many situation as this is a not a TRUE 64 bits environment, so many conflict happens)
Nonsense. Windows XP Professional x64 Edition was a pure 64 bit OS, just like Windows Server 2003 x64 it was derived from.
I fell out of my chair when you pulled up lock on to test. I legit couldn't think of the name of that game for about 3 years and finally found it a week ago, and here you are just randomly out of the blue playing it only 1 week after I remember what it was called. This moment has convinced me we live in a simulation.
+Sam H, writes _"This moment has convinced me we live in a simulation."_
Really, that's the kind of thing that convinces me we don't live in a simulation -- a simulation would be able to avoid that kind of coincidence.
@@fred_derf The sheer absurdity of it for me, makes it seem impossible to be a mere coincidence. The TV saying a word just after you said it is coincidence. Not hearing about this obscure game from the early 2000's for over a decade, randomly thinking about it here and there since the start of covid but never remembering it's name and then suddenly I find it. 1 week later a seemingly unrelated video looking at craigslist listings goes down a rabbit hole to have the video conclude with gameplay. I think I can now understand how some people can believe in that religion mumbo jumbo when events like this occur. Oh and im also using it to exaggerate a point.
@@samh3157 Why would it be impossible for it to be a coincidence It sounds like a prime example of a coincidence to me.
@@fred_derf if we lived in a simulation, the odds of there being a glitch or weird repeats of things is actually quite high, ever watched the matrix broski?
Yeah, this definitely sounds like a "reuse of cached content" type of thing, we do live in a simulation :)
Remember the little fans on video cards. Ah those were the days. Even better, passive cooling on the CPU. I remember when Pentiums required a fan (a FAN!) on the heatsink.
Now we're like 'eh, water cool it and it still hits 100C (looking at you Intel 13900K).
I really enjoy your videos - you always look like you're having a good time, even when you aren't!
when windows 10 can't handle it use windows 7🤣
I really love the look of the cooling shroud and fan. Sort of a mini-blower.
Shit man, I wish you'd let me know!
I, for this exact reason, have kept EVERY SINGLE Windows installation since 3.11.
I literally have a bootable USB installer for WinXp over here. Damn. You should obviously have known this! ;)
Your persistence is really admirable! I can so relate to the error on error fixes . . . . .
There’s something about the old Nvidia logo font that I love. There’s sort of a charm to it.
It's very of-the-era
@@rocketPower047 definitely
I still say whale needs to send Dawid an old ISA board and all the required parts from the '90s. One of the ones so old that the only I/O is a keyboard socket. Remove all the jumpers, mess up the dip switches and other "fun" stuff.
Then give him the challenge of not just installing DOS and Windows 3.1, but getting Doom to run in full VGA and with Sound Blaster support.
That would be awesome!
Dawid correctly pronouncing 'Gansbaai' gave away so much info :)
Watching the XP part was my life as a IT support guy back in 2009. Having to find the exact branded XP distro for the specific PC or laptop...some things have got better.
For real...I have used the same M.2 win10 install for the last 3 builds, completely differerent specs, even swapping from AMD to Intel processors...and it still works...mostly. I plan on doing a fresh install but wanted to see what would happen. So far only a printer via usb gives some weird issues, everything else just works.
@@Hughesburner lol you should really redo the install. the performance hit must be savage.
@@Hughesburner I have wondered about this myself and didn't know if it would work or not. I'm totally going to try this.
I think I've fallen in love with that X58 mainboard. Obviously the nicer part of all that grannies shown here^^
There's a second edition of that motherboard that just has a pistol as the northbridge heatsink, I think it looks a lot worse, but there's an article about New Zealand customs ripping someone's dual GPU monster of a system to try and get to the gun
That was fun fella!. How many of us have struggled for HOURS trying to set up a system & then had that 1 little idea pop into our heads that fixed everything. Suddenly, you are the next Einstein! Way to hang in there man!
1:55 $2400 in 2005 is nearly $3650 in todays bucks. Almost makes me want to go out and buy a 4090 lmao
Quadro cards are always expensive but when their age has passed for sometime their sell price in secondhand market isn't as high as normal GeForce cards.
I would love one of those cards for my XP system, quite jealous of you! Despite their niche market those cards frequently go for above the $100 mark, since it's the same GPU die as a GeForce 6800 Ultra under the hood (and those are even rarer)
The POST issues were because the card likely does not support UEFI BIOS, it needs legacy video ROM support. No Windows 10 drivers but the ones for 7 can be modded to run on 10 if you so desire...
I was under the impression the GTX 960 was (at least "officially") the "best" supported card for XP, is this a "period correct" configuration thing?
@@ffwast GTX Titan from the 900 generation is the best as far as I know. I've used my GTX 980 on XP in the past, but I prefer to use older, more period accurate video cards.
@@DavisMakesGames Any of the 900 series should work but *official* support only goes up to the 960 for some reason.
I’m pretty sure that lock on game is like the alpha for DCS World or something it’s extremely similar to older versions of the game. All of the “low fidelity” planes in DCS are those 6.
I enjoy watching your problem solving in action Dawid. Sums up dealing with life in general which we can all relate to.
The first GPU on my CL search was a PNY 4090 for $1790...I am pretty sure these scalpers relist daily
The cooling fins on that LGA 775 board looks aaaaawesome!
5:16 It probably doesn't support UEFI, try enabling CSM in these cases. Also, there seems to be a good windows xp iso on the internet archive.
This video sums up every recent retro experience I've had. Days of pain for minutes of fun.
Considering how collectible this card is you bought that at a steal of a price.
It's effectively a GeForce 6800 Ultra
The one problem you will have with these cards is they don't work in systems with more than 4GB of main memory. This has to do with them being a AGP card bridged to PCI-e using an on package chip and the way the bridge works causes havok if you got more than 4GB of RAM in the system.
@@cybercat1531 That is good to know. Thanks for sharing.
@@cybercat1531 I sincerely hope that was documented at the time. On the other hand, who had more than 4GB of RAM in 2005?
This is my favourite CZcams channel. Keep it up Dawid. Great stuff.
5:38 i love that stanag mag as a hear sink
great video that era of gpu gives me nostalgia of when got into system building also surprised dawid doesnt have a a 32bit xp install laying around
the "weird connector" is a 14-pin header for nvidia quadro g-sync, and the round connector is a workstation stereo connector
the "fractal" of problems is an amazingly fitting and clever description. I will use that from now on in my life.
I love your vids dawid. Keep it up!
the weird connector is actually the connector for the VGA Connector that card has a optional ribbon cable attached to a VGA connector its not for the stereo 3d like you think.. this card was produced back when DVI Was suppose to be the new thing and vga was a optional feature
Wow that takes me back. Looks like a typical weekend for me about 10 years ago. The joy of used pc parts. I think we've come a long way. I'm only one generation away from "new" now.
Your experience trying to install older systems is exactly why I image absolutely everything. I have drive images back to a PIII. It's far less stressful to get it working than trying to install from an ISO. I even have an image of SCO Unix system 5.
Hey Dawid! I really really like your work, like big time like! So much that you gave me the urging need to build my first ever PC, even though I'm mainly a console player!
Keep up the good work, I eat your videos at every meal.
Greetings from France!
That black pin header is for the blue dvi output cable 👍 you can add it to a 2nd layer slot space.
2:28 that other port for vga cable if u want dual monitor vga that what it for
i have few laying around have same slot and plug for it
Love your videos! The humor is on point lol
we need more of this
That weird connector is for VGA with cable... and maybe used for stereo sound I have seen one with VGA
I like that you and Ozzy don't do the typical 3000 dollar builds. You guys actually stay close to home testing things we might buy or are in the peasants range. Plus the expirements are awesome to sit through😂
What whiskey still looking CPU cooler is on the LGA775 mother board? I have never seen this one before. It looks like this setup could make some really premium cognac.
I forgot how cool those G1 boards are with the magazine and bullets.
I'm impressed you got XP x64 working. That *was* asking for extra headaches.
Almost half a million subs...been here from the early days. Well done my fellow Canuck.
I wished you tested more games on this old monster.still very cool gpu, had not seen it before
10:03 I had LOMAC back in the day. It's basically the first edition/version to what DSC is now.
Dawid, what overlay do you use for fps specs and such?
Vary underrated, the commentary can't be beat.
2:40 this isnt an s-video port, because i have an old quadro with that port. it is for some old 3d vision stereo monitor hub that communicates with nvidia 3d glasses. you can tell because it only has 3 small holes, s-video has 4.
I think the silk pajamas is a nice touch to lul you into a false sense of security when getting ready for the alleyway knife fight.
I recently tested a Quadro NVS 290 from 2007, and I went straight to Ubuntu server minimal installation. That worked flawlessly.
I’ve been watching the channel for a while now, and your accent continues to intrigue me 😂 I started off thinking ‘kind of Irish’ but as I watch more I’m less convinced by that 😂
Hey,Do you recommend 1650 GDDR6 for gaming (Apex Legends,Fortnite,Assassins creed odyssey)1080p High settings
The issue with the modern system not booting I experienced with my RX 470 and i5 11400 my solution was to boot it without the GPU on the iGPU which worked and then with the GPU again then it booted
Don’t know the reason but something similar might work in this case
LOL! That cooler design! Why the heck is it blowing hot air onto the RAM into the case instead of out the back?
lol that Thermaltake SpinQ cooler was nostalgic. Nice.
Dawid, you are truly a crazy man! Thanks for the fun video and I look forward to what you'll do next! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My first high end gaming rig that I built was an X58 platform. It was a i7 960 on an EVGA X58 SLI 3 motherboard, 6gb DDR3, 60gb OWC SSD. That was my first SSD and first time using a boot drive... (I paid an outrageous amount for that SSD) 2X MSI GTX 470 (fermi lol) in SLI. I still have all the parts minus the Case which was used in an upgrade then retired at some point, I think I should get a $30 case and put it back together. would be fun to see what it can run. Probably not much since the last driver update was 3/2018. Anyway, I love the content! keep up the great work!
You honestly make the best tech content! I miss Timmy Joe's "newb plebs" series and find this kind of content to be the best nowadays
What program are you using to show fps, gpu performance etc?
That cooler on the LGA 775 system is epic.
Those Sata 6/III ports were probably Marvell-based (eventually AsMedia but I believe the first was Marvell to make them) third party controller.. and in the end they were slower than ICH8R (or whatever can't remember the chipset if it was the 8 or 10) SataII native intel..
I had one in my old P55A UD4, but it was the same for the 1366, so you needed to install proper drivers during win install to make it boot. Only sequential was good, but 4k/4k random was terribly slower and with latency added than native sataII ports.
Bro this video makes me laugh your an amazing funny CZcamsr thank you for posting good sir
Also, FEAR is from 2005. So are Quake 4 and Doom 3's Resurrection of evil expansion.
We want a follow up video 🤓
Silly question Dawid... Have you tried ddu AND an DVI monitor?
Good idea with the old grafic cards, i'm going to try it 😀
Probably worse than my iGPU
Gotta love how much the software and hardware has changed over the past 25+ years. I still have my Win 3.1, and 3.11 disks as well as my Win95, Win95 SE, Win Millinium, Win 7,8, and 10 install CDs. But that being said it's mostly because I'm too lazy to toss the old stuff away. I'm also pretty sure I have one of the only Win Millinium CDs that actually worked on a PC.
This video brings me back to the golden days of windows xp, which was the best OS of all time in my opinion (2nd would be windows 98)
What is that barrel cooler on the second motherboard? It looks like it's made out of barbwire.
I've had issues with older quadros (quadro 400) not posting on newer hardware. You also need to install the proper driver, you can't just use the generic nvidia drivers, they have specific ones for quadro.
I picked up a used Gigabyte 1660 super 6gb OC edition off of FB marketplace for $100. Couple years later and it's still working like a champ. It's no powerhouse but it works well for what I do with it. Have it paired with a Ryzen 3 2300x and 16gb of memory. The whole system is used parts. All together in got about $300 in the whole system.
Still owning 6600GT 256MB, using it as GPU for some older platform testing. It works in Windows 10, and even 11 (though on that second it isn't stable, and driver generates artifacts and BSODs a lot).
Simple trick to install graphics drivers for older cards in newer OSes - just unpack the driver installer with some software like 7-zip (or run installer, and close it after unpacking - it is unpacked in C:\NVIDIA). Then install drivers manually via Device Manager. Works all the time for every NVIDIA/AMD/Intel graphics, as long, as the driver is for 64-bit OS, and supports Windows Vista or newer :)
What's the motherboard with the gun mag and the red dot, also the green pcie lanes. I'm just wondering, if anyone knows please let me know, I want to get a cool motherboard like that for my future build lol
I had the 6800 from back in the day and it wouldn't work with any OS after XP, something about lack of dx10 support and os based instructions.
You can still get the 64 bit Windows xp service pack 2 iso directly from Microsoft's website.
Most x58 motherboards only had working sata 2 ports the sata 3 ports were most likely a defunct Marvell controller which ran slower than sata 1 speeds.
2:25 It might be a VGA connector. Some GPUs had that to support VGA even if they don't have a connector on the back. But they were mostly SFF cards. It has 14 pins which is the same as VGA where you don't need one of the pins.
no its a Serial Digital Interface (SDI). This was a common connector on Quadro cards, even my k4000 has one. Its a serial interface thats gives direct I/O access over the card for (not many) but some implementations
There is a reason for those "classist" ram chips to have a heatsink and not the others. They are hotspots within close proximity to caps, law of TDE and whatnot. Also the ones on the header side were forsaken in favor of the rapid cyclone fan which more than compensated for the heatsink which would have required them to redesign the housing adding cost. I remember testing those cards quite well. I got a batch of 10 in '04 for integration runs. ||fixed typo to 03 ||
Except they were released in '05.
Jeez, think you need to clear out your memory! I have trouble remembering where I lived in 2003!
@@mistermudpie I had early releases for testing as they were officially released in 04 to OEM's and integrators.
I have my ancient LGA 775 system running Batocera Linux and it's very pleasant and surprisingly effective. The only part as old as that card is the Belkin PCI wifi card, which is working fine.
I'm quite surprised this didn't get the half life 2 treatment, as this card is closer to when that game launched. But all in all, great content as always. I love a good Dawid video on a Sunday morning 👍.
Ooh! A PhilsComputerLab/Dawid colab in the offering with that tasty retro FX 4400 from your nappy days! ;-)
I have the exact same motherboard in a set up still. It is not Windows 10 compatible itself. The X 58 chipset stop being compatible at a certain point in windows 10.
What you identified as an s-video port is actually a VESA 3 pin 3D sync port for connecting 3D glasses. You cannot plug an s-video cable to it. @Dawid Does Tech Stuff
That is absolutely ridiculous lmao. I miss the “3D era,” it was a much simpler time
@@kraio-sfu it was more common than you might think & hung around for quite a while on workstation cards like this as well as some consumer cards.
I'm glad you used Windows XP for it because that was the latest consumer Windows operating system out at the time
Windows XP 64 bit was also often an adventure unto itself.
I'd love to find one of these cards, a viable alternative to paying loads for a 6800 Ultra
Why this card or a 6800 ultra?
@@ffwast I'm building a gaming PC from 2004-2005

Thx for doing this
newer tech with older operating systems is even more infuriating
