![]() Moreover, at the time of this writing, all the mystery GPUs have disappeared from Visiontek’s site again. ![]() The 8400 GS and the HD 6450 are the only two cards we received that were not offered in those older, cheaper boxes. I also got a different (worse) version of the same GPU for my $5 PCIe card.Īs readers that skimmed our 2014 article on Visiontek’s mystery boxes may have noticed, these are basically the same cards that were being offered five years ago, except that they cost LESS: $1/$2/$3 for AGP/Radeon 2000-3000/Radeon 4000-5000 respectively. They did, however, send me a card for $10 that was exactly the same as a card they sent to Steve for $5. It’s safe to say that Visiontek didn’t recognize Steve and try to send him a ringer. ![]() None of the numbers etched into the die helped, but after some excessive effort that we’ll go into later, we had our list. Visiontek has worked almost exclusively with ATI/AMD in the recent-ish past, which made one unlabelled PCI GPU with an NVIDIA branded die difficult to look up. As mystery refurbs, none of the GPUs were packed in their original boxes, but identifying them was pretty easy, with one exception.
