Manufacturer description
This is a very rare part. SLI dual GPU 8800 GTX 1Gb Graphics Card for Dell XPS M1730. I had it shipped here from England and I couldn't get it to display anything. When I received it, it looked like someone had already tried to reflow / bake it. I don't want to look at it anymore, reminding me how much I spent on it. Maybe someone can get some use or parts out of it. Extremely rare part. Selling 100% as is for parts or not working.
