Help: Identify this Notebook Video Card

Hi,

I happen to come across this notebook video card. However, I can not find any P/N or Model # specified on it. I just know that it is for Dell Notebook

Can anyone here help me to identify what model it is?






Thanks in advance!

 

It could be anything . Since its from a Dell, its made harder. Possibilities are that it could be an ATI Mobility X1400, nVidia Go 6800, Go 7800, Go 7900 GS. I think that is it, but I may have missed a couple.

Do you know from which Dell notebook it is from?

 

I believe that it is from XPS family, but I am not sure which serie does it come from.

I can't find any label or words to identify whether it is ATI or Nvidia chipset.

This VIDEO card is quite big so I am sure that it should be from big sized XPS model. I suspect that is is from either XPS M1730 or XPS M2010. Can anyone who has these model help to clarify this?

Thanx!

 

This looks to me like it is from an E1705/M1710 or M2010. I think this is an nVidia card, as it has a green PCB (the Mobility X1400 had a blue one, I believe) and, as you say, is from an XPS model, which all used nVidia cards. Given that information, I think this is either a Go 7800 or a Go 7900 GS. It cannot be a Go 7900/7950 GTX because it only has one heatsink. I hope I'm right here.

EDIT: On second thought, it could still be a Go 6800/6800 Ultra or ATI Mobility X1800.

EDIT 2 : Actually, I think I've got it now. Its an ATI Mobilty X1800. I couldn't find any cards with a single heatpipe *and* with a curled heatpipe on the card. All the others that I looked at had a straight pipe on the card. But then I came around to looking for the Mobility X1800, and the card is exactly that in your pictures. The part number is actually on the card. I can see it on your pictyres, but cannot read. For the big sticker on the copper heatpipe, it should read CN-0DG005 for the first part, and on the underside, one of the stickers should start with CN-0JG367. Hopefully, if those markings are there, then your card is definitely an ATI Mobility X1800.

 

That card does look like a 7900GS found in the XPS 1710 model from Dell. My friend has a 7950GTX in his 1710 and it looks near identical, without relation to the second heatpipe.

This is a picture of the 7950GTX in my friends laptop:

I'm going to go with Zero and say the ATI x1800 256mb from the XPS M2010.

K-TRON, that is what I had originally thought. It looked very much like a Go 7900 GS card, but on closer inspection, you can see the heatsink on the Go 7900 GS is much smaller than the one in bemmy's pictures. Also, I could not find card which had one heatpipe and a straight heatpipe on the card. I fugured I may aswell have a look for the Mobility X1800, and it turned out to look exactly the same as the one in the pictures.

confusedsoul's post is very useful. I found the card at the following link:

Nice find guys, it does look like the x1800 now that I look back.

Gotcha!

Thank you for all your helps! Highly appreciated!

It is time to get rid of it as it won't fit my notebook ;-)

 

Where did you find it? I would also make sure it works before I sold it...

 

Bought it from someone in local area who claim that Dell has sent him the wrong part. It comes in Dell box (no papers though), so I feel that it should be in working condition.

 

I would either sell it "As is", or sell it with a 7-14 day guarantee.

 

Yes, prabably will sell it with one week warranty.

Thank you for your advice

 

No problem, and hope it works out for you, Bemmy!
