steps I did.

1. Insert card, see artifacts
2. Play HD movie (would not do much else without crashing)
3. Stop fan
4. Watch movie
5. Let card cool down
6. SUCCESS !

Found this setup much easier than using my oven for resurrecting graphics cards. At $20 this was a steal.

Wouldn't the card throttle and shut down if you stop the fan? :u

Thats a pretty nice method could try it with one 4870x2 and see if there is a go.

It seemed like the card had no driver support or anything. I was not able to run any game or even open up afterburner.
