You're asking which GPU this is? Have you tried plugging it into a PC to see?

If you need help, you can at least take a better photo. The first photo is too blurry to read anything off the board. The interface is AGP, should be quite old (can't mine with it sort of old). Brand should be "Sapphire". Can't tell anything else.

Plug it in a PC, run a freeware tool called "GPU-Z", it will tell you all the specs.

Do you know anything about the manufacturer? Do you really need to know which card it is? I usually threw away old relics that I find.

You would have known it so much earlier if you just plugged that thing into your pc :-)

I have 2 pc's and they have no slot for this type of card

Why don't you just throw it away then?

This should go into the PCi Express slot, Usually the one with the clips that move to the side, or am I missing something

It looks like a Sapphire X1550 (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=4&sgid=333&pid=78&psn=&lid=1&leg=1).

EDIT: Actually, it might be an X1600 Pro, which I think is exactly the same card but with the RV530 GPU instead of the RV515. They're identical except for shader performance.

You're missing the fact that an AGP card does not even come close to fitting in a PCI-E slot. Square pegs don't go in round holes. I thought they taught that in kindergarten?

Foxpup is right, this card is AGP. PCIe (x16) is much longer.

Thanks a lot!

I wanted to know to see if I can play dota 2 with this video card!

I doubt it, and not just because actually installing the card is a prerequisite to playing games on it.

You can't. The message isn't in the transaction, it's on blockchain.info.

You can't. The message isn't in the transaction, it's on blockchain.info.

So if I carry out a transaction from my Blockchain.info wallet, can I do that?

Yes, you can do it only on your blockchain.info wallet.

That message is handled only by blockchain.info and the person who receives the payment will not know of the message unless they check blockchain.info

i.e: The public message is a third party addition , handled by blockchain.info and not a real part of the transaction.

Thanks for the explanation, I understand better now. Case closed. :)
