Anyone seen one of these in the wild? I might start looking for a BitBoys Glaze3D video card soon...

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Did they ever get working silicon before they ran off to mobile? IIRC they had a design that was... troubling... to fab with the combined requirements for large eDRAM and high performance processing. Hence the Infineon partnership, right till Infineon shut down their DRAM fab and no one could make the things.
BUT... if any of their engineering boards made it out into the world, they would be as rarefied as the twenty 3dfx Rampage dev boards, just without the name recognition and nostalgia. It would be awesome to get a system running at least SOMETHING on a Hammer era engineering sample.
For those of you who don't know the history - you can buy a Bitboys GPU today, in the form of a Qualcomm SOC. Bitboys was bought by ATI, ATI renamed it Imageon. ATI was then bought by AMD and AMD sold the division to Qualcomm. Qualcomm renamed it Adreno, an anagram of Radeon.
