Are these older style Sanyo Poly's?

[jayjr1105]

Pulled these from an AGP graphics card so maybe 2001 or so. They test fine with 0.00 ESR. Just curious. I assume Poly because no vent marks for expansion.

very old polymers - check the uf because it does decay on the old blue and purple sanyo's

I did check them, within 10% and ESR was 0.00

Oscons?

Oscons?

Yes sir.

Re: Are these older style Sanyo Poly's?

Curious what graphics card you pulled them out of and was it working.

Just beware that some old GPUs like the GeForce 3 and 4 series sell for crazy prices online right now. Sell one like that and you can afford to buy almost a bucket of new poly caps.

Just FYI.

Re: Are these older style Sanyo Poly's?

i'v not seen oscons on gfx cards.
loads on old intel server boards though.

It's from a crappy AGP graphics card, It wasn't anything special. Yellow PCB, tiny little fan. I can look again when I get home. It's sitting in the scrap board box now.

Oh, I've seen them on plenty of old nVidia cards from the GeForce 3 / 4 / FX era (and equivalent Quadro.) It varied a bit between who the card was made for, but I have at least one GeForce 4 TI 4600 card here with those OSCON caps (I think it's one of my dead ones - those tiny stock coolers on the TI4400/4600 overheat and eventually kill even the wire-bonded GPU die used on these cards.)

That's because back in the day of early AGP, video cards simply didn't have the crazy heat dissipation like they do nowadays (or even compared to the generation that followed - i.e. Radeon 9700/9800 and the GeForce FX 5800 "dust buster".)

Sounds like you have an ASUS or PixelView board by that PCB color. Whichever the case, those OSCONs were expensive caps then, so I would be surprised if this is some low-end card like an MX 420 or Riva TNT64 or MX4000. Sounds more like you have a GeForce 3 on your hands or maybe GeForce 4 TI 4200 if the card's PCB is fairly small. On the other hand, if the PCB is fairly long (for that period of video cards anyways), it may be a TI 4400 or 4600.

and to think I have one of these sitting in my storage

^ For a second, I thought you re-posted a picture of my Leadtek GF TI4400, but then I realized I never posted it on BCN. (I guess that's another one to cue on my list of stuff to post, lol.)

You may want to get rid of the GSC / Evercon caps on it before selling it. That's how I got mine for cheap a few years back. The 40 mm fans were also extremely noisy with dry bearings. I've nearly fully restored it (needs a few temp caps replaced that I filled with old used caps) and it's a great retro AGP card. Runs a lot cooler than the stock cooler that comes with most TI 4400/4600.

You won't get 3DFX prices for it. But depending on the supply/demand at any time, they still usually go for $30 at a MINIMUM... and most of the time around $50 or more.

*EDIT*
Here is an example of how much one TI4600 is going for right now:

I think I'm hijacking the thread with the video card discussions. Sorry about that, I'll give it a rest.

Asus AGP-V7700/32M Rev 1.01

Re: Are these older style Sanyo Poly's?

^ Ah, GeForce 2 GTS. That's another classic I forgot about. Not as rare/sought after as the GeForce 3 and 4 series, but a good oldschool card nonetheless, especially if you ever plan to build an early Windows 95/98 era gaming PC. It may not have Glide support like the VooDoo GPUs, but it does beat a VooDoo 5.

Anyways, sorry again, I'll stop with the GPU discussion sidetracking, I promise.

Re: Are these older style Sanyo Poly's?

ah, i see. its a gf2 gts gpu most likely. can still sell for a small tidy sum online.

IIRC, I have. They were likely common on GeForce 4 Tis.

It is a 4600.

But if you want to talk retro, I also have a working Voodoo 5 5500 that TC has been trying to get his hands on for weeks

I have a TNT2 M64, worth anything lol (it's not)

Re: Are these older style Sanyo Poly's?

I just looked and it's the A250 Ultra. 4600 128m

I appearently already recapped some of it years ago and didn't remember. Some were polymers.
