Awesome!,Im surprised these engineering samples actually make it from outside the testing labs and are not destroyed once they are done with them...like for example when prototype cars have gone into production the prototypes 9/10 get destroyed/crushed.
2/5/ EDIT: actually I made boot with FS1 board with 19V new video with FS1 board: ruclips.net/video/0dJzyayY6kQ/видео.html It was tricky with drivers. I tried xx versions and WIN7 started to take down. But no artifacts or fireworks with all cards. Stupid question is ... do you want to see more action under full stress? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... allright
board maybe can be testet. start 12V if nothing happens 14volts if still nothing happens 18volts. stop at 19volts. it looks like a mobile device board. keep the good work, have a nice weekend !
Yes this is logical way - baterries or adapters for laptops flying around 17-20V. But this is ES board and you can‘t be sure for 100%. Undervoltage can damage anything too.
I've got an A12 revision 2900 XTX too with a different BIOS which has almost everything stripped out of it. Won't load a driver at all. Can you submit your BIOS to the TechPowerUp VGA BIOS database for other XTX owners to look at and experiment with? I've also got the same Radeon HD 6990. What you have should be a review/partner reference board. It's the final version sent out for partners to use in their system displays, and for online reviewers. They originally came in a small aluminum briefcase. They have a BIOS switch directly behind the crossfire connector, so don't forget to check both before giving up on the card! You can also flash retail 6990 firmware to them on the second BIOS position.
ES stuff is fun. I wouldn't mind running some of this in a setup and see just how it compares speed wise to the release cards and how crash happy they are.
Bro, you need to test the motherboard for us. A 19.5V will do. Like in one of those universal laptop PSUs with a voltage regulator switch. Have a good one 👍
2900 was the card I dreamed of back in the day of ATi (only had 2400 pro :( ). It was huge and innefficient compared with competition but who cares haha :)) It was the first DX10 MONSTER Keep up the nice work! You earned a sub from me! :D
Best guess for that last prototype motherboard would be 19v charger. Most fs1 socket laptops use 19v and that battery connectior is similar what (samsung?) laptops use.
Very nice cards, I have a few like these myself. I've also got a GTX 285 prototype which has some daughter board on it like the socketed outputs do on yours.
Man I remember drooling over the 6990 when SLI and crossfire was a thing I did find a GTX 560 Duke nukem edition for like $120 it was used but it had box collector's edition manual everything it was practically brand new good memories
I wish manufacturers would make laptop boards in ATX form. Or some way to use laptop chips in regular computers, without the need for extensive modification. Someone call Asrock. If you have any crazy idea in your head, all you need to see them realised is a dozen Asrock engineers, and about 80 lines of coke.
Yeah, i wish i can have an AMD HD2900XTX. That was a monster at that time. What about the other Dual-Gpu card ? was a 3850 or so ? Not working with driver because the GPU got "fucked up" . I have an AMD HD 7950 which behave the same. A few artefacts on screen and looks like i cannot play nothing anymore on that card. R.I.P enthusiast video cards, they are not ment to function more than 4-5 years.Anyway, thanks for video, cheers :)
Over 800MHz core in dev probably by late 2006. Those are HD5870 speeds. Very early ATI unified shader design held back by compromised design and little to no cheating.
I don't know if your familiar with but I have an original OCZ gladiator cpu all copper heat sink that originally came with a 6k rpm fan. Fastest air cooling fan ever. It was for Athlon XP cpu's.
Wow! These bones are treasures !! I even looked down on my knees! Haha It's a pity that the motherboard at the end of the movie can't be tested! Otherwise it will be very interesting !!! I really want to know how to get the engineering version of these development versions ^^!
Dude, how in the world you find these....most of your collection is worth 100s of Euros off of Ebay. Did you owned a computer company ? Or recycling center ?
Maybe Ben heck could get that mobo tested? Seems like most of those prototypes they just hadn't worked out the best cooling solution in terms of noise, the 5950 being the best except that had driver software implementation issues.
How do you get this crazy badass hardware? I have a small collection that I've started acquiring. I tried to get an HIS Ice Q 3 Radeon 3650 AGP but got out bid. I had to settle for an ATI version that was a buy it now. Should get on Saturday. Also have a Radeon X1300 that I should get on Saturday. I dig a lot of the old cool retro parts you put in your content.
Hi Sir, I love those cards or I can say those jet engines :) The 2900 and 6990 cards looked like Antonov 225 engines. How you get that funcky hardware? Ebay?
I love old amd cards! Red plastic, more smd elements for red smd God! Try to heat up 6990 gpu chips. first chip if not driver is start, then second. I think heatup help you to start videocard with driver. please, don't kill videocards with full stress test! only benchmarks...) 7:40 music?
Ahoj RETRO HW, mohl bych od tebe koupit GPU Nvidia MSI NX8800GTS-T2D320E-HD-OC a Nvidia Asus EN8800GTX/HTDP/768M/A nebo prosím, prosím o radu kde bych mohl sehnat. Na bazoši dlouhou dobu jsem nenarazil.
Hello we want some games benchmark from you. As a pc lover we can see some unbiased benchmark from you. Because all benchmark RUclips channel are biased and backed by either of Intel,amd or Nvidia.

Engineer 1: Should we use axial or radial fans?
Engineer 2: Yes
hahahahahaha
lmao
2900xtx best prototype GPU ever!! AMD should made card with vintage look hahaha this is amazing and beautiful design like 90' car
i had this really weird 2900 GT with 256mb i believe it was basically a stripped down 2900xt
mmmm I love it
Uhhhhh just when I thought your collection couldn't get anymore impressive 😮

Sure. I'm looking forward to seeing them. Show us Radeon HD2900XTX in action will be awesome. You need to find a better airflow for it.
Yes this is logical way - baterries or adapters for laptops flying around 17-20V. But this is ES board and you can‘t be sure for 100%. Undervoltage can damage anything too.

Thanks for info. I got problems with drivers too. No D3D working on XTX. Yep 6990 is final card for reviewers.
ES stuff is fun. I wouldn't mind running some of this in a setup and see just how it compares speed wise to the release cards and how crash happy they are.
Amazing 🤩 Love the 2900 XTX
Bro, you need to test the motherboard for us. A 19.5V will do. Like in one of those universal laptop PSUs with a voltage regulator switch. Have a good one 👍
I was one of the few people i know ever in my country to own a 2900xtx or xt and also 1900xt or xtx
So cool! All these unknown and unreleased products
2900 was the card I dreamed of back in the day of ATi (only had 2400 pro :( ).
It was huge and innefficient compared with competition but who cares haha :))
It was the first DX10 MONSTER
Keep up the nice work! You earned a sub from me! :D
hd 6990 was a trully first monster with 4 gb vram and use powers like crazy!
Best guess for that last prototype motherboard would be 19v charger. Most fs1 socket laptops use 19v and that battery connectior is similar what (samsung?) laptops use.
Juhasto it‘s not Samsung but the old toshiba connector
My old Asus A53/K53 with AMD APU looks very similar and it's PSU also works with a Fujitsu Lifebook U904.
Essas placas são show, hello from Brazil ❤👋
Very nice cards, I have a few like these myself. I've also got a GTX 285 prototype which has some daughter board on it like the socketed outputs do on yours.

2900xtx is monstrous!
I like Radeon red-copper transparent design. Wish AMD could revive it in future!
10:25: Turbine switching off - millions of users: "Thanks God!"
nice to see another video :) u have some great Relics there
6990 was near end of HD era when AMD changed to R series (R3, R5, R7, R9) and now RX. X2 for dual GPU, XT for high performance, and XTX the top end.
VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS SO SICK THANKS MAN CHEERS MUCH LOVE
16:22
This Card Is EDP(Enhanced Display Port)(LVDS) To Connect Laptop Displays
Is very interesting for me to have a Look at this old Hardware. Thank You!
I wish manufacturers would make laptop boards in ATX form. Or some way to use laptop chips in regular computers, without the need for extensive modification.
Someone call Asrock. If you have any crazy idea in your head, all you need to see them realised is a dozen Asrock engineers, and about 80 lines of coke.
now this is a tech channel
I've been following you for a while, and I always wonder, where do you get all this stuff from? Greetings from Serbia 👍
same question
Love these old cards
Красный кожух это конечно секс)
Я получаю удовольствие от увиденного
Wow un canal maravilloso 😻

gorgeous collection
hd 6990 fantastic piece!
wow retro, amazing graphics cards, interesting the e8860 i never see this grapics in my life. Good Video retro, Greetings from Argentina! ♥
they are very interesting pieces due to the type of graphic technology mix so varied and unique in a single video
Cool cards. My favourite is the laptop dev kit at the end.
wow best content on youtube!
back in the day, when the heatpipes were MASSIVE
I like your video. Cool graphics cards. You earned a sub
I don't know if your familiar with but I have an original OCZ gladiator cpu all copper heat sink that originally came with a 6k rpm fan. Fastest air cooling fan ever. It was for Athlon XP cpu's.

A HD6990 foi o sonho de consumo de muita gente. Faltou mostrar o GPU-Z dela.
pure amd relic
2900xtx 😍
the old style amd blowers were so loud lol
2020 and HD 6770 is still my graphics card 😭
3:12 thats a weird looking gpu with vram in the actuall chip
not really the ps3 had its vram on the rsx gpu substrate package aswell also amd fury gpu has hbm vram on die aswell
Great video

Dude, how in the world you find these....most of your collection is worth 100s of Euros off of Ebay. Did you owned a computer company ? Or recycling center ?
I think is 19v for your motherboard
Maybe Ben heck could get that mobo tested? Seems like most of those prototypes they just hadn't worked out the best cooling solution in terms of noise, the 5950 being the best except that had driver software implementation issues.
Great Vídeo and cards! About voltage, try using 11V than 12V than 13V, until it works!
Pretty nice content! Thanks!
17:56 try the universal notebook charger
Is that a motherboard at :40 seconds that doesn't have your typical cpu socket? What the hell is that? That's crazy!
How do you get this crazy badass hardware? I have a small collection that I've started acquiring. I tried to get an HIS Ice Q 3 Radeon 3650 AGP but got out bid. I had to settle for an ATI version that was a buy it now. Should get on Saturday. Also have a Radeon X1300 that I should get on Saturday.

Lets test this hell)
ahh yes the 6990 fan noise
Hi Sir, I love those cards or I can say those jet engines :) The 2900 and 6990 cards looked like Antonov 225 engines. How you get that funcky hardware? Ebay?
Holy Grails of amd !!!
very good video, like it
Why would they put usb ports on a gpu card? Other then to consolidate expand-ability. And a bizarre fan combo.
I thought at first they were USB but eventually saw they looked like HDMI.
You are our Guru 🙂
I forgot how loud old gpu’s are.
Would be great mining cards for Litecoin back in the day
а что с изображением на HD6990?
ta karta napravo je asi jen testovaci verze na 6 monitoru pres DP vyvedeny ven z bedny, nechtelo se jim zatim predelavat cely PCB kdyby to nejelo :)
for the a 1à amd cpu it will be about 19 volt i have a hp laptopn with amd a 6 cpu
Very intresting prototypes, I have one hd6990 and one x1950xt (if im not wrong) this never show display I only used it once and then I stored
bro that sick proto board uses 19 V at about 2 or 3 amps
Even the ocz is vintage!
I love old amd cards! Red plastic, more smd elements for red smd God!
Try to heat up 6990 gpu chips. first chip if not driver is start, then second. I think heatup help you to start videocard with driver.
please, don't kill videocards with full stress test! only benchmarks...)
7:40 music?
Benchs are usually 100% stress :-) Used music is everytime in video desctription.
@@RETROHardware not always. Furmark stronger, than 3dmark for ex.
hm... i can't find guitar solo from this timing.
Ethan Meixsell - In The Shadows
@@RETROHardware hm... second try to find that track is correct! thanks :) I saw this track in info, but my first try failed...
Do you buy these engineering examples? Or do people send them to you?
I don't like prototypes but this HD 2900 XTX... what is the price for it?
Olá cara gostaria tanto de ter acesso a algumas placas mães antigas...como eu faço pra conseguir uma baratinha
That 6990 can repairable... just need heatgun.
Likker GM man
it should be 19v because it looks like laptop board imho
와씨 저거 언제적거길래 메모리가 왤케 많냐 팬소음 지리네
Prečo si neodskúšal nejaké hry? a čo bola zač tá doska na konci?
WTB a 2900xtx either in red or black please PM price
I am currently using a HD2900xt in one of my builds..not the xtx tho
Ahoj RETRO HW, mohl bych od tebe koupit GPU Nvidia MSI NX8800GTS-T2D320E-HD-OC a Nvidia Asus EN8800GTX/HTDP/768M/A nebo prosím, prosím o radu kde bych mohl sehnat. Na bazoši dlouhou dobu jsem nenarazil.
Do you have any plans on trying to power that motherboard?
Yep I‘am collecting informations now.
"Veeery cool, veeeery quiet, amazinnng oc" ;p
Hello we want some games benchmark from you. As a pc lover we can see some unbiased benchmark from you. Because all benchmark RUclips channel are biased and backed by either of Intel,amd or Nvidia.
Lol. And people are crying about the Vega blowers .
Well i had 2x 2900xtx in crossfire to play my games
The Vega is really not that loud lol
Fuck the vega blower man, i bought a vega 64 for 200 bucks but i didnt know that the card ran THAT hot :(
This is OTVAL
14 pin & 16 pin , that a lot of power 😐 or it not like i think? 🤔
is that a vold fpga
Can it run crysis ?
hey do u can make most powerful pc (2009 late)?
Would be some core2 extreme qx and a 5970...
with extreme watercooled
ram right on the gpu. Bizarre.
The last as size of motherboard 😅
hello, could you help me, where could I download the game ,, colin mcrae rally 2.0 ,, thanks in advance. The video clips on your channel are great !!!
looks like laptop battery could connect
God help me.
Мне одному резал слух акцент?
How can you get engeering prototypes?
Oh man that HD2900 XTX has no PowerPlay support whatsoever
