I recently bought this from a shop for 8 bucks, someone give me more info about this please.
I'm not sure I was born when this thing came out

Looks like a 15+ yo GPU that was maybe made for professional use

With 128MB VRAM I suspect it'll be totally unusable now except on a retro build playing stuff from the 90s...

I imagine the card will be fine for a retro gaming Pc or use in a home server use situation

It is by todays standards almost certainly outstripped by the latest onboard graphics solutions and even the IGPU found on modern processors.

Did you waste 8bucks? if you have a use case for it then no. if it was because you were simply curious well only you can know the answer.

I also got a floppy disk drive, a bomb (AKA Psu) and mobo (not sure what socket type)

yep, unusable. I don think it works. I put it in my system and it didnt boot.

It's a graphics card from 2004.

That card isn't worth using in a modern PC; any modern integrated graphics will run circles around it.

 

It would be great for a throwback XP build, though.

It might not work in UEFI mode since it's so old.

LOLz....your motherboard might be too advanced to recognise the card and also the drivers for the card could possibly be so old that getting them to work on modern hardware is iffy at best.

it might still work but you would need to test it much older hardware is my guess.

Dont forget it was designed when Athlon and Direct x 9 was the cats whiskers
