Remember when xfx used to make Nvidia cards.I got a 8800gt for 5$ at a garage sale.It works but displays horizontal line's all over the screen.Should i try the oven method ? or change the thermal pads,Changing thermal pads has worked for me once in the past on a card with same issue.

Planning a new build ? Take a look . -------- > http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/345793-ltt-increments-community-based-build-database/

ohh the  good old 2006-7, when the leadless solder was introduced and microprocessor died out by the dozens!

 

Yea lol also do you remember the capacitor problems though thinking about it I think it was late 90's earlyish 2000's.
