Repairing R9.5k np - are there any reason to do that?

[Tonic]

Hello

I've found on native auction interesting thing :

I can buy this video card, which cost 56.8 USD, but there's
one problem - this card don't have one small chip - it have
mark :

F P27BV
FDS
(maybe) 6898

I thought that I should buy (for example, from persom, whom
have destroyed R9.5k np and doesn't need it) this chip and
give for person, which can solder this successfully

So, what are you thinking? How much this operation could cost?

i wouldnt bother. Can you afford it if it doesnt work out? If not, dont risk it.

If you can locate a dead 9500/9700 series card you should be able to replace it pretty easily, or send it to myself or hell~fire to have it done.

Get pictures before you buy it. Theres only so much anyone can do to repair something.

indeed, very good idea.

hmmm isnt that the chip that controls vgpu or vdimm?

how did it come off? sounds like somebody did a bad vmod and killed the card... wouldnt be surprised if the card still wont work, even with a new chip.

Okay, my thanks for advices, I've decided to buy more
worst graphics card, but completely efficient :)

It's Gainward 3TI 450 GS - it can work on 250/550 without artifacts :cool:
