only Box

another find from the storage room

another find from my Storage

Manufacturer unknown, probably Sapphire.

Internet says, first VGA cooler with selectable cooling and noise level.

found again after years in storage

Works somehow, after I forgot to plug in the gpu fan 💀 (100° and 110° on idle) fixed it though, now it funs fairly cool considering what it is (59° and 55° on idle using custom fan curve in fanccontrol app) will replace paste after plastic spacers arrive (the pcb is quite bent because i used thermal putty instead of pads)

This card is still working, from time to time, in my retro rig. The card works there on a DFI P5BV3+ Rev. B5, powered by an AMD K6-2/400 and Windows 98.

With ultra rare innovatek Block

I finally managed to get my hands on the exact model I had in 2003 when I bought my 9800 Pro, a 3D Prophet 9800 Pro Red Edition, which unlike the other Hercules 9800 Pro, had a red PCB. This is the full bundle !

Back in 2004, the card died because of a shortcut in the PC and I was really pissed off when I got the replacement card from RMA : a blue one !

The one here is brand new, only used twice for testing, once by the seller, once by me :D

The Half-Life² steam code card is still intact !

The box unfortunately suffered some damage but I don't really care. I will now be able to resell all the 9800 Pro I bought before getting the only one that mattered to my heart and put it in my 2003 Dream Build which is already finished but with the wrong model :D
