So i got my hands on 2 Radeon 3450 cards, ATI branded.
The only issue is that there is only a tv-out and a DMS-59 on the back of the cards. I dont want to buy adapters or cables for them because all my recent newegg purchases are nickel and diming me to death XD.
Can I use these for productivity? server? or just anything really without buying more bloody crap!?
ah,... I had to install a couple of these in older computer at my high school i interned at.
That connector on the back is DMS-59 it supports 2 monitors with a proper adapter I installed them on secretary computers who needed multiple monitors, there's no horsepower behind them but they get dual screens up pretty well for low profile cases
That or just coasters- I've got an old 2600XT/PRO i use as a coaster
One of them has a bent mounting bracket but otherwise all is well, and really its not even noticeable, still works fine. BUT I dont know if you are a big stickler for this, the fans make noise, not just air movement, the bearings are louder than any gpu fan ive ever heard. its not horrid, its just annoying. I can record a video and take a picture of the bracket if you like. I would be willing to give them to you if shipping isnt much. Also I can throw in the DMS-59 cable that I found, if goes out to 2 DVI-I female. Otherwise they will just go up on my wall with all the other old hardware XD
