First graphics card (for my personal rig, at least) was a Radeon 7500. Then I went... -Radeon 9100 -GeForce4 Ti4200 -Radeon 9700 Pro -GeForce 6800 (AGP) -GeForce 6600 (PCIe) -GeForce 6800GTO (PCIe) -GeForce 6800 (PCIe) -GeForce 6800GS (PCIe) -GeForce 8800GTS 320MB -Radeon HD 5870 -Radeon RX 480...

Yeah the prices suddenly jumped up from $300-500 to...a few times that amount. Amazingly I got a lot of comments trying to claim the card isn't rare.

I didn't say that. However it makes sense instead of tip-toeing around patents and figuring out driver development from scratch (as you alluded to) to instead snatch up a group that's already done it and holds those design patents. Why would AMD want to do that, you ask? Well, perhaps if...

I'm worried for AMD if they try to ride it out bleeding to death the whole way. NVIDIA has no intentions of playing fair, and it's a little tough to get R&D funds if your competitor has a stranglehold on the market. Legal challenges against GPP will take years, leaving AMD to fight against the...

Want to try that again in English?

I worry about AMD's future in the GPU world more than I worry about if Intel can be competitive. In fact, I kind of hope that after their collab on Hades Canyon that it might grease the skids for a Radeon Tech Group buyout sometime soon. Might do AMD some financial good to go lean and focus on...

Hey guys! Glad some of you found some enjoyment from my misfortune. The card wasn't actually supposed to run the fan at 100% in 2D mode. Idle temp was in the 40s (yes the GPU has a temp reader, perhaps one of the first) . Hardly at critical levels. Normally the fan runs at 50% on the desktop...
