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
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.
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.
I fell out of my chair when you pulled up lock on to test.

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!
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.
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
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!
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...
@@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.
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.
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
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! ;)
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.
Some of that frustration with XP could have likely been mitigated by using the 32-bit version, instead of 64-bit.. XP-64 has always been kind of PITA when it comes to drivers.
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.
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.
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!
I'm surprised you got anything to work in Windows XP x64 Bit Edition. The compatibility with 32 bit drivers and applications wasn't really there until Vista.
5:27 Is that an AR magazine sitting on the motherboard?? Has some weird green arrow on it, I suppose it is some sort of heat sink for the chipset, I see a heat pipe going into it, but it sure does look like an AR mag.
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
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
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.
64 bit windows XP was an absolute nightmare to work with even back then. It only ran 64 bit code. Which nothing was back then so it barely functioned 😂
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 😂
The mid tier card will absolutely win. Sli is pretty much dead and proper support on modern games is non-existent, and in older games sli was crap thanks to bad support from Nvidia and AMD and most devs not adding proper sli support.
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 ||
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 :)
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.
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😂
Hey Dawid. This is an extremely late response, but these NV40-based cards are actually still native AGP. And that little die underneath the GPU die is the High Speed Interconnect chip. It's a bridge chip from AGP to PCI-e. At the time, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but using that chip actually causes a bit of an incompatibility with systems utilizing over 4GB system memory. I believe what you were experiencing is likely due to that. It's also why it worked when you installed Windows XP, as you are limited to
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
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'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 👍.
If you want an XP install disc, I made one myself, It won't ask a single question and be at the desktop lightning fast! And if this video did last 2 hours I would have still watched it all, your channel is awesome.
fun fact: the copper heatsink is not actually milled out of solid copper, the fins are created one at a time with a process called "skiving" and that's why they have a curve to them.
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.
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

You should do a video fo modern games with old sli cards, can you save money by buying 2 cheap cards insted of 1 modern mid tier one.
The mid tier card will absolutely win. Sli is pretty much dead and proper support on modern games is non-existent, and in older games sli was crap thanks to bad support from Nvidia and AMD and most devs not adding proper sli support.
we need more of this
I love your vids dawid. Keep it up!
Dawid's analogies. The silk pajamas man, etc make me piss myself laughing. AND he sends poor Anna out there to deal with the ass-clownery. 😂
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.
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 :)
I'm glad you used Windows XP for it because that was the latest consumer Windows operating system out at the time
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.
That black pin header is for the blue dvi output cable 👍 you can add it to a 2nd layer slot space.
How bout you try building an entire PC by buying the first compatible parts you see on Craigslist. Would be an interesting watch!
@Dawid Does Tech Stuff
Yo Dawid your evil twin is trying to scam me pls do something
Found this dude from a comment he made on an LTT video. I kinda liked this video so that's a good start
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😂
Hey Dawid. This is an extremely late response, but these NV40-based cards are actually still native AGP. And that little die underneath the GPU die is the High Speed Interconnect chip. It's a bridge chip from AGP to PCI-e. At the time, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but using that chip actually causes a bit of an incompatibility with systems utilizing over 4GB system memory. I believe what you were experiencing is likely due to that. It's also why it worked when you installed Windows XP, as you are limited to
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
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)
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'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 👍.
If you want an XP install disc, I made one myself, It won't ask a single question and be at the desktop lightning fast! And if this video did last 2 hours I would have still watched it all, your channel is awesome.
Should have played doom 3 on ultra. One of the few cards of the era with enough vram to do so ;)
Agreed
"What have we learned today?".. Dawid is a compleet and utter Masochist
fun fact: the copper heatsink is not actually milled out of solid copper, the fins are created one at a time with a process called "skiving" and that's why they have a curve to them.
I wonder if a modern linux distro would handle this card better or not
Possibly. The closed source drivers certainly won't support it, but the open source ones would have a high chance given the age.
G'day Dawid,
🤔What a coincidence as Phil's ComputerLab had a Quadro FX1300 for his Friday video, lots of cool Retro stuff for Oldschool guys like me 😁
That weird connector is for VGA with cable... and maybe used for stereo sound I have seen one with VGA
Vary underrated, the commentary can't be beat.
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
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
The cooler on that 775 board looks like it could do the blending of the GPU if pyjama man is interested
Also, FEAR is from 2005. So are Quake 4 and Doom 3's Resurrection of evil expansion.
We want a follow up video 🤓
Ditchit is my new go-to! Finally, a shopping experience I can trust. 🌟
Dawid, you are truly a crazy man! Thanks for the fun video and I look forward to what you'll do next! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you think you’d ever do a scrapyard wars style video and donate the build?
dam Dawid you're hardcore installing win xp 64bit version it's the OS equivalent of eating toast with mustard on it
Mustard AND Marmite (yeast extract (AKA yeast poop)). ;-)
newer tech with older operating systems is even more infuriating
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.
