Wtf, I just "fixed" another nvidia card, this shouldn't even be a problem revision of the GPU 🤔😵‍💫
Same symptoms as with the previous card: no DVI output, artifacts when connected to VGA, works flawlessly after bringing the die up to 100C for a couple of minutes 🫣

probably not in X1800, TruForm support was removed after Catalyst 5.8 and 5.8 is for X8xx and earlier

A real reality check for anyone wanting to spend big money on an FX 5950 Ultra 👌 this video saved me $200 😅

it is a part of PSU, so you will need an IBM style AT PSU

Hard to tell, bsky amplifies sound... could be just intensive heads activity

well, this little tv has a 6V (center negative😬) DC input from the factory 😀

P.S.
it seems the power consumption is not changing with the brightness, and the schematic confirms it: the lamp brightness is not controlled in any way
P.P.S. maybe an LED conversion at some point? 🤔
