This is a graphics card that my father had in the past.
I couldn’t find this thing being sold on ebay or anywhere else on the internet. Is it a rare / unusual card? I have it listed for $30 on a Swedish site but I feel like I might sell it too cheap. Does anyone know the value of this graphics card?
