, well this is actually the 3rd 9800 Pro my Sawtooth has had in my ownership of that machine LOL, first one died as is all too common with 9800's, and the other was sent to @bunnspecial many moons ago, where it fitting lives in another sawtooth so I am pleased to have another one for it finally given the Sawtooth was my first PPC Mac (and 2nd Mac overall) its nice to be able to treat it to the best upgrades 
Not quite! 😁
its a bit of both, in that, the stock 9800 Pro cooler is pretty awful, so the GPU cooks itself that way, and I know also the memory can also die
thats always been an interesting card for me although I dont think I have ever seen another for sale sadly
and the fact that your special 6800 XT does work in an Sawtooth shows that the NV40 Core DOES have 3.3V AGP signalling support at least... (if you ignore the massive bottleneck that would be going via PCI rather then AGP)
They seem to be available on the eastern European market, Russia and Poland. But most i could google, a 128 MB variant. But mine is 256.
Isn't the 6200 NV40 too?
Yes, sure this could be dremeled out! What is a Quadro 4000 comparable to in performance?
According to Wikipedia, the FX 4000 is comparable to a 6800 GT, but it has a slightly higher core clock (375 vs 350 MHz).
The FX 4000 had better be. You need two dual-link DVI outputs to run "Big Bertha" at 48 Hz.and the fun thing about that card is it is a Dual Dual Link DVI Card IIRC
Not so sure about that!You need two dual-link DVI outputs to run "Big Bertha" at 48 Hz.

Yes, sad in a way it had to end there. Would have been nice to see i. e. a 8800 or even a GTX680 in a Quad...
Performance ain’t everything —DisplayPort 1.2 with support for 4K60 would have been cool as well
These are the ones I put in my Quad, 16GB of bliss!
