Resurrecting an old Radeon 9800 Pro? Nicely done! I have 2 of these, one 9800 XT, and a few X800 cards (2 AGP and 2 PCIe). These were some of the fastest GPUs that Windows 98 supported. Great for retro gaming!
Certain 8000 and 9000 series ATI cards are also considered extremely desirable by the retro Macintosh scene, since they're the most powerful and featureful cards that will support OS 9, OS X and Morph OS all at the same time. People actually take the PC versions of these cards and flash them with the Mac BIOS.
"How in the world games ran with 128mb of RAM, i dont know." Twenty-five years ago, I bought a pair of brand-new 3dfx VooDoo2 PCI video cards, which I ran in SLI. At the time, this $600 combination was pretty much the state of the art. It was fast, fast, FAST! Total ram between the two cards? 24MB. Almost nothing else available at the time could touch those two bad boys. Oh, and you had to have a third video card for 2D applications like the Windows desktop, because these cards did not do 2D at all. You connected your 2D video card to the first VooDoo2 with a passthrough cable, then connected the first VooDoo2 to the second in the same way, and then your monitor connected to the final VGA connector on the second VooDoo2 card. Finally, you had an SLI connector that went between the two cards. And of course, you have to make sure you had a big enough power supply, as each of these cards could draw a staggering 15 watts.
@@HaveYouTriedGuillotines Yeah, GPUs over 250W TDP(225-250W total power consumption) shouldn't exist. It was an engineering standard for over a decade for a good reason. AMD and Nvidia went berserk in the last couple of generations.
yeah. Took me a while to get ready for it but thanks to one of the viewers who provided me with a complete setup and a bunch of AGP cards to play with, i got it started. Hopefully it will attract some attention.
AGP 1.0 2.0 3.0 ran at 3.3v 1.5 and .8v. motherboards would support multiple standards in a universal socket by using the key to make the card only slide into a certain depth depending on the version. So the socket would have multiple rows of pins at different depths for each version. That's probably related to the issue he had with the one he was making.
@@Andrew-ky8oc8cq4n What do you mean by saying "certain depth"? You can't move cards back and forth or up and down. You either put a card into slot (depends of the key) or not.
Now we're talking! 🙂 Retro cards is where it's at! We want more of these 😀 I have three Hercules 3D Prophet Radeon 9800 PRO, and two of them are still sealed in their original box. 😁
Awesome to see some retro hardware repair! Brings me back to when I first started getting into PC gaming and building my own, so nostalgic. Thanks again for the great content!
Leaked schematics to all Gigabyte cards of the era are easy to find, which is a good thing since they're very close to reference and cover both ATI and Nvidia. Just have to figure out the weird gigabyte model numbers, that's the hard part.
Model numbers: Google. Schematics: electrotanya and various iron curtain forums like vlab and remont-aud. There won't be any board views and the part numbering on gigabyte cards is usually completely different, but if you have a picture to look at it helps because the placement is the same. So far I've been lucky but I've only had to do Nvidia.
About your riser. AGP was a couple of years back and some may not know, There were about 6 versions and a mix of two or three volt standards and although the different notches were supposed to help match standards some cards would not function even though the card fit due to voltage or signal voltage, mismatch.
A few things makes an immediate impression. Your voice is like Ben Mendelsohn's voice, wich is good. Second, when you're wondering, you sound like The Sorting Hat in Harry Potter, wich is also good. And finaly, every video, you make, have a very strong ASMR effect, wich is super awesome. For everything else, that you know and you can, you are God. Respect!
My first videocard was an expensive Hercules Radeon 9800 Pro with custom heatsink, purchased in 2003. I loved that card so much. I was playing Dungeon siege and it looked gorgeous.
I bought the Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb when it was first released and I was well happy!!!! That was until the released the 9800 XT and 7 or 8 months later if I remember right… gutted. The 9700 and 9800 Pro cards were amazing back then.
I have a Gecube 9600XT AGP with artifacts, I think the RAM went bad, it's such a nice card that I actually thought about sending it to you but I imagined you wouldn't even want to think about repairing an old AGP card, really nice coincidence because it's almost the same model I have.
I had that exact card in the first PC I built. The cheap ass Molex connecter caught fire while I was gaming. I only realized it because I started smelling burnt plastic and saw smoke exiting the PC exhaust. It was still on and gaming the whole time. I replaced the connector on the card and kept using it. Ahh, how I don't miss the old janky-ass Molex connectors. That reminds me of my old A-bit fatality board that needs fixing. I still have the AMD CPU and Corsair RAM with activity LEDs and the front panel display that came with the board. I need to work on that.
I don't think the connector part that's on the GPU should be the cause of the problem, though that may be the part to take most of the damage. The cable side connector sometimes has its pins unhook and slide back out which is bad news indeed for current carrying capability. Bad quality metal surface alloy is another problem on low quality connectors of this type. If the card has only linear regulators, as was usual in that era, it probably doesn't mind at all that some of the voltage got lost in transit.
@@SianaGearz LOL Yeah, it was the janky PSU I had. I'm pretty sure it was a pin on the PSU side. Although the connector on the GPU was damaged and fused to the PSU cable, the PSU side was the most crispy in the end. I just chopped off that connecter, and the GPU never showed any signs of being on fire, performance-wise.
love it - i have one with a tiny chip on the edge of the die but it still works fine - i think if you push the heatsink to much on one corner it can cause some damage - tough little beast - and they do suffer from knocked off components - but worth fixing
I have a X850XT PE that i intended on using in a retro PC. I am kind of afraid of powering it up, but this video makes me a little more confident that the card could be saved if it breaks :)
That was the first graphics I ever bought for the first PC I ever built... Well technically second. I originally about an Nvidia 5200FX and immediately got rid of it within a week and bought the 9800Pro instead. Such a great card back in the day. There was a rumor there was a so-called "pencil mod" you could do on the board of that card to turn it from a 9800Pro to a 9800XT. But that was my first computer and couldn't afford to buy a new card if I screwed it up, so I never had the nerve to try it. There's also a set of dip switches on that card (I think left of the cooler) that allows you to change the output format of the composite connection (middle round port connection on the backplate) between NTSC and PAL (was useful for me as I was moving from the states to the UK at the time). I don't have that card anymore, but I think I might still have the original cable accessories for it. I have no idea if I still have the original manual, but I doubt it.
9800 was a beast for its time. I still have my first Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop /w an ATI 9000 /w 64MB of video ram - I remember John Carmack saying that laptop's video card was what he said Doom 3 could run well on (while it was still in development). It ran ok at launch, but not all that super great from what I remember. I eventually gave up and went GTX 1070 and dropped all AMD gfx cards since then.
I like fixing old crap like this. Just saved an old as hell Kicker portable ipod speaker with every damn power rail in it blown out it's ass. 5 different mosfets, a cap and a diode all fried, hahaha, fun repair.
I've been following your repairs recently and was curious if you were able/ interested in repairing retro gpus from the AGP era. Might send mine in one day, when ever I have the funds and time too.
I know where to send my retro cards now! My favorite retro card is definitely the 9800 unbelievable performance for a 128M card 256bit helps as well. Recommend a better cooler and the card will last a bit longer as the 9800 has no temp sensor oddly enough.
Not sure where you got it but a lot of slot machines still use this card, mainly, the IGT AVP platform from the late 2000s/early 2010s. They eventually switched over to on board video because so many 9800s failed. The casino I work at as a slot tech had failures every day (we had 2200 machines total from various slot manufacturers, about 800 of which were the IGT AVP 2.0 machines). Our bench tech swapped out many fans and caps on the cards but eventually the casino ended up selling or destroying a majority of our IGT AVP machines lowering our dependence on 9800s (which were not available for sale into the mid 2010s). The casino still has a few (maybe 50 or so) with intermittent issues to this day. IGT still makes slot machines but I'm not aware of what video cards are in their current platform.
I'm a little late on your videos due to workload in the last week. Great news. Now comes the question... can I send my ATI 9800Pro to you? I bought it factory sealed back in 2003, used for a couple of months and moved it to my kids PC (at that time). It was sitting in a retro pc until a couple of months ago, when I tried to power on and it won't show video. I removed the cooler and nothing more than that. No knocked components, no scratches. It looks like new. I'm keeping it hoping I will learn someday to check what's wrong, but I would rather send to you for repair (and peharps become a video also...). It's a great retro card and I don't want to throw away. Regards!
This is a pretty weird riser design since the key for voltage is the opposite way in the slot compared to the connector, I wonder if it has been mounted incorrectly. That said, the card is universal so it shouldn't be an issue. However, it seems to me that the B side of the riser's connector is routed to the top of the connector, and that should match with the graphics card's component side (i.e. GPU side), so the card probably needs to be rotated 180°. The manufacturer's website doesn't have a description for this exact model, but there are other riser models that may match this setup better.
I have an old BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC that worked when I pulled it out of the machine and doesn't work now. It was in an ABIT AN7 MB and it sticks on Code 26 with no video and computer won't start. I replaced it with a BFG 6200 OC and that works fine. I can't find any broken traces or missing capacitors, resistors or any damage at all. I'm wondering if you are interested in giving it a go?
I often wonder what to do with my old gpus. Somewhere in the attic I have a 5950 ultra, diamond stealth vlb, matrox mystique, riva tnt2, voodoo 5500, voodoo 2, ati rage and more
It still cracks me up that people don't understand the technology Gap between this card and it's successors.. it was a great card don't get me wrong, but despite the bundling with Half-Life 2.. it was not exactly 2004 capable, things moved so fast back then.. and the difference between top of the line 2003 at the 9800 pro, versus top of the line 2004 at the 6800 ultra, or even 6600 GT were like night and day.. that said, with the development shift to the new consoles away from the pc.. you can kind of sit on that 6800 for a while whereas that 9800 didn't really have a long run.
nice video , do more videos about old cards hd 4000,5000,5000,6000,7000,R200,R300 , nvidia GTX200,400,500,600,700,900 , make it wonderful channel to watch you more,thank you
Hey, do you still have the schematics for the card, i can't find them anywhere. I have a 9800 Pro that i know worked before i knocked off 2 surface mount components. I'd love to get it to work again!
Mine has a problem on pin B18, SB_STB. Any ideas? Looking for a board diagram for the 9800 Pro to see what all could be going on. Any help is appreciated. Diode mode, nothing. Ohming it out shows about 9 million ohms.
I still have to wonder if it is possible to alter a card by changing the memory chips out to improve their capabilities (Some cards had the spots but werent populated from what I recall)
You can monitoring temp in hwmonitor or in aida 64, its show gpu temp. Old gpu(hardware) is my favorite part of repairing, i have bunch of this retro gpu with issues and don't now how to fix them, any repairman in my region dont wont to try to fix this old stuff 😐
I think I gave one of those away maybe even that exact one. I still have a 850XT I kept just to say I did. I got rid of all hardware that was pre ddr2 a year ago.
wow...these cards back in the day were the cats own ass! always wanted one of these cards and pair it with an AMD X57 on an nforce 2 board + 2 gigs ram. the memories..................
I think that these videos are great to watch . But i have a card that i get artifacts when i install the drivers. Can you help me figure out whats wrong whit it(or help me fix it)(gtx 780ti)
I have a love-hate relationship with this series. Love that it really forced things to progress dramatically in the name of performance. Hate how unreliable the cooler design, and the drivers were. Literal years of misery wasted on this series specifically.
I remember seeing these on eBay in 2007-2008 for $15-$20. I even got a Mint NIB real never used voodoo 3 3000 ago in original box for $50…. I gave it away to some little kid in 2013 and regretted it cause I seen them selling for over $3k. Hahahahahahahaah

Ah now here's a GPU I like, I feel my retro systems are lacking in the Graphics processing realm
That card is probably flashable with a 9800XT bios, as I did back then. You can easily overclock it too, just be sure to cool it adeguately.
Thanks for the vid, I really enjoyed watching it. Good job getting a fix without boardview or schematics.
I still have to wonder if it is possible to alter a card by changing the memory chips out to improve their capabilities (Some cards had the spots but werent populated from what I recall)
Neat!
You can monitoring temp in hwmonitor or in aida 64, its show gpu temp.
Old gpu(hardware) is my favorite part of repairing, i have bunch of this retro gpu with issues and don't now how to fix them, any repairman in my region dont wont to try to fix this old stuff 😐
I think I gave one of those away maybe even that exact one. I still have a 850XT I kept just to say I did. I got rid of all hardware that was pre ddr2 a year ago.
Круто=)
Just noticed multimeter with "True RMS my ass"🤣
Nice.
Riser socket on the wrong side of the pcb?
Nice
Wasnt Doom 3 too much for the current cards back at launch?
AGP my old friend...
wow...these cards back in the day were the cats own ass! always wanted one of these cards and pair it with an AMD X57 on an nforce 2 board + 2 gigs ram. the memories..................
I think that these videos are great to watch . But i have a card that i get artifacts when i install the drivers. Can you help me figure out whats wrong whit it(or help me fix it)(gtx 780ti)
I still have an old nvidia 9200 gt still works to this day.
I have a love-hate relationship with this series.
Love that it really forced things to progress dramatically in the name of performance.
Hate how unreliable the cooler design, and the drivers were. Literal years of misery wasted on this series specifically.
I had the IceQ version of the 9800 Pro. That helped a lot for me at the time
Could you fix my EVGA 9600GT 1GB?
🙏👏👏👏🙏
I remember I had the card with Serius SAM bundle... it was like ~550USD back then... with 256MB Vram
Would running something like HWMONITOR not work for temps of the GPU?
Don't know yet
awe..i still have gtx 750 ti..ti,maan..lool,and it works
Oh, I had this card in my Athlon pc 20 years ago. Successor to my old Voodoo 3 2000 PCI and Pentium 233MMX. Fck I'm old. 😔.
I got one of them…..working
I remember when i sold this cards in my computer shop.........
A good UPS will keep your card last for a crazy long time!
I remember seeing these on eBay in 2007-2008 for $15-$20. I even got a Mint NIB real never used voodoo 3 3000 ago in original box for $50…. I gave it away to some little kid in 2013 and regretted it cause I seen them selling for over $3k. Hahahahahahahaah
Yeah. Otherwise I wouldn't bother fixing it
It'd be cool if they started to make red pcbs again.
