What is this nVidia GPU?

Hardware Hub GPU

Pulled this nVidia GPU out of an old Compaq PC.

I would like to know a few things-

What type of motherboard connector does it have? (Old PCIe, or something even older?)

What is the model of it? (It says VANTA-16 on the GPU it self)

What is a good GPU for a Linux machine that will fit in the motherboard socket?


Thanks you guys

-Marty

AGP stands for Accelerated Graphics Port. It was introduced by Intel around '96, I believe, as a successor to PCI dedicated specifically for graphics applications. There where a few versions that provided different bandwidth levels and higher levels of power.

It was superseded by PCIe in 2004.

It is completely worthless today. Coasterize it, shoot it, do anything with it you want except trying to jam it into a PCIe or PCI connector on your mobo.
