i found this gpu and it seems like it doesnt exist on the internet does anyone have more info on it?

looks like the workstation variant of the firepro s10000 but it seems like they scrapped the idea of selling this one

its an engineering sample

 

[goosethesecond]

Probably wasn't released! This is dope though, let us know what else you find out! Try to get it to work? I wonder if any older drivers would even allow that to run?

IF this is in fact a AMD Professional GPU card it is a good chance that AMD Moderator for Pro GPUs might be able to identify that card @fsadough 

[Snifff]

it would be nice if @fsadough could take a look at it.

i will post more info of the card when it arrives.

[elstaci]

Hopefully it isn't a fake and it isn't defective.

There is a chance the person who had it originally might have changed the BIOS in that GPU Card since that is an Engineering test GPU card.

I added a extra pic that i got from the seller, it identifies itself as 2 w8000 gpus but the weird thing is there is no 3gb w8000.

it will arrive on Wednesday so looking forward to testing it

@fsadough?

[fsadough]

This is an engineering sample FirePro S10000 Dual GDDR5 6GB

[Snifff]

So they never thought about releasing a w9000x2? 
Because the S series would be for servers and the W series was for workstations.
How early off a sample would this be?

[fsadough]

The housing used on engineering samples are random.  So, when you have an engineering sample (which you should not have in first place) don't pay attention to what it says on it. The release date of FirePro S10000 Dual GDDR5 6GB was 2014 and is already EOL'ed

[Snifff]

is there a way to pull dates from those serial numbers?

[fsadough]

Yes. The ULC sticker tells you as well. ULC 1208 represents YYMM, whereas the serial number gives you YYWW (year and week).

[Snifff]

so that means its quite an early sample right?

looking forward to getting it, will post the bios to techpowerup

[fsadough]

As I said, it is an engineering sample and no idea how you got your hands on it. You will have no warranty and no support.

[Snifff]

i bought it as a collection item and hoped you knew more about it

[elstaci]

You bought that Engineering Sample GPU at an Auction House or Company by any chance?

Or from a private person?

[Snifff]

private person, i hope the naming isnt just a sticker 

[fsadough]

Good luck

[Snifff]

so you wouldnt know anyone that could have worked on these cards that could tell us a bigger story?

[elstaci]

In my opinion, Since your GPU card wasn't meant to be sold to the Public it seems like it was just meant to be used In-house by the AMD GPU Engineers or for compatibilty testing purpose by OEM Manufacturers.

Found this Reddit thread concerning GPU Engineering Sample: https://www.reddit.com/r/lowendgaming/comments/mux35n/engineering_sample_graphics_card/

What is interesting is that Nvidia requested to TechPowerUp to block all traffic to the website if it senses a Nvidia Engineering Sample GPU card being installed or used: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/88353/gpu-update-blocks-engineering-sample-leaks-shows-dlss-version/i...

[Snifff]

it will arrive tomorrow and then im hoping to find answers for these questions.

have to buy a mini dp to dp adapter first though.

[Snifff]

could someone pull some info from the text on those asics?
