That thing CAN NOT run Morrowind.
My brother promised me it could, and being 13 and not as smart as he was, I belevied him.

To think that we now play multiplayer OpenMW on our phones.

>that madman who actually made a mock BitchinFast3D and software

It wasn't much of a GPU though. Not a complete embarrassment like ViRGE but it couldn't run half of the games at the time.

Battletoad force?

Monster1 was my first ever GPU. And i think Turok was the first game to test ot out. Oh boy

Why did box art become so shit for a while?

No way a 9600GT had hdmi or displayport

The same reason it is shit now, pandering to underage morons (gamers).

Any answer but radeon 4850, nvidia 8800 or 970 are invalid.

Probably to save a few pennies that it would cost to put artwork on the video cards.

This single-slot bad boy was the hottest thing around.
Bullshit, they stopped adding waifus way before normies gave enough shit about vidya to be a viable target for feminist lobbying (and that wasn't much of a thing either back then).

Go back.

I have this one, don't keep the box I think, but for sure I have the palit 9600 and the palit 250 gts. afterwards, and I can only remember the vga, too bad I am not at home this week so I can't check it out.

XFX 6600GT. That box was amazing.

It literally said it could run doom 3
fucking lie
Fuck that

jews.
>technical reason
jews and board layouts. memory like hbm can't be upgradable. it has to be fused to the interposer and directly connected to the core. its one of the reasons why it provide so much bandwidth.

gddr* is layed out the way it is because of maximizing shorter trace routes. for improved performance and latency. to have it upgradeable would mean it needs to have its own socket and the socket would have to be placed far away to not interfere with the cooler and everything else on the board. its just better to have it soldered on in an efficient layout.

>purple
yup, you had to be gay to buy the fx series from gayvideo. only straight men bought glorious ati 9000 series like the 9600 pro and 9800 pro.

Saying the phrases "pol" or "Jow Forums" should be an autoban, because literally only Israeli astroturfers tell people to go there.

That's a drawing

>When your video card is 3X longer than your case
How did they expect anybody to use this? To just leave your motherboard lying on a big table?

>using a case
lol. I bet you buy a case for your raspberry pi too

What's with the hablo speak?

Hey, the upside is automatic cooling for 2/3s of your card. And getting a fan for it would be easier since you could get any desktop model. :p

Fuck yeah

Mine had vga and dvi

Same here, with my 1st tax return, got it at Sam's club lol.

I had a FX5200 too, 128MB with 128bit bus. I used to play Cod2 online with it (ran fine on dx7 mode, dx9 was fine in single player but slow as balls in mp)

That unironically looks better

It was a joke advertisement for a product that didn't exist
It was basically saying "why buy all these separate cards when you can buy all of them on a single card" or some shit
