Have leftover:
  Nvidia P538
  Unknown with text VPEARV71 on board and marked "Made in China" just
as the other of course
  Asus HD6450-SL-2GD3-L
However in doubt any of these are of interest for you.
 
Also have a "Nvidia Quadro FX 3700". This is in use and useful for me
but pcb-rnd is much more important so if you need it I will send it.
