Some people collect stamps and some junior editors collect graphics card GPUs (Die). Besides technical abilities you need a hammer and a chisel to separate those chips from the board. Since none of this is available in the PC Games Hardware office, junior editor Marc Sauter used an adequate alternative to get the Die off an X1950 XT: A screwdriver and a Radeon HD 3870 X2. The PCGH Fun video below reveals how well a HD 3870 X2 is performing as a replacement hammer.

Well, both graphic cards were defective. PCGH doesn`t destroy hardware just for fun.
