Mid 2000's were just incredible!

Nice one.
I remember most of those eras, and ATI/AMD were definitely rocking it from time to time.
Also, the 8800 was a HUGE leap when it came out. Damn.
you were saving that first post for a while eh!? neat video, kinda made me feel old though.
As mentioned in another thread, AMD cards often have had an advantage in raw compute power, but they don't have the backing in software to take advantage of it because it seems they always make architectures that go against industry trends. One could argue that NVIDIA carries a lot of influence currently with their dominant market position, which AMD needs to get there first before it can start dictating to the industry how 3D graphics and the hardware that drives it should evolve. I think one thing that happened with this lackluster low-level API trend, particularly asynchronous compute, is that AMD inadvertently showed how often their shader cores were idle during intense graphical workloads as opposed to NVIDIA's that were already running just about as efficiently as they could.Unfortunately GFLOPS lead didn't always translate into Gaming lead.
