I really should run some good benchmarks on it. But in an all-core workload I feel like it would hang with a 975.
My ATi GPU collection has gotten pretty epic; the flagship of basically every gen.
Rage Fury Maxx
Radeon DDR 64MB
Radeon 8500 128MB
Radeon 9700 Pro
Radeon 9800 XT

In the spring of '20, while I was on furlough during the COVID lock down, I decided to put together a '2000s Dream System'. I'd been wanting to do a dual socket AMD build for a while, originally around Athlon MPs, but couldn't find a motherboard that didn't have issues.
I still wanted the...
Aye. The 68040 was pretty amazing. You don't realize how amazing until you see a Quadra 950 doing web browsing in a basic (custom) browser, which basically nothing else of the period could even hope to do.
I grew up a Mac head, 68k and PowerPC era machines, but I felt like a lot of the magic...
Edit: Making an ISO backup from MakeMKV does seem to accomplish this, though the FAQ doesn't clearly state it. Closing thread...
I'm in an interesting spot here; I still buy DVDs, including a fair number of rare titles from overseas. I also have an Oppo Blu-ray player that is generally...
I probably have to say my Radeon 8500 LE. It was probably the inception of me paying attention to GPUs.
I also remember it being a sneaky good deal during its heyday.
Going back to ARM's inception in the 80s, *nobody* has had more to do with the success of the instruction set than Apple.
SoftBank should go shake a different tree.
It's funny how ad supported TV on paid streaming services is suddenly poison to people... especially considering that the commercial breaks on streaming are shorter than the commercial breaks on cable/satellite, which we all spent decades paying (more) for - and they still exist unchanged.

Limited-time deal: AMD...
Ahh, cool. Cool.
Be sure to ask the same question every time somebody around here expresses interest in old hardware that could simply be emulated instead.
You've gotta hand it to Apple... There is nothing that can hold a candle to the black MBP with an M3 Max.
Insane amount of power and display quality for something so thin and light.
And I think this marks their first black laptop since the PowerBook G3. Almost a quarter century ago...
This is interesting solely for the fact that Nvidia has the resources to actually make a splash if they fully commit.
But after seeing one ARM-ambition after another fizzle out, I'm not actually expecting much meaningful result here either.
