Have I ever told you one of my favourite political-actions is to file Freedom of Information/Access To Information requests and then riff on the results? It's good times.

I just got notification that my most recent FOI will be proceeding. It was hung up as the Office determined whether I was worthy of having the fees (~$100) waved. It looks like they might wave them. I'll know shortly and should have a response to my request, or more likely, a request to extend their search time, in the next 30 days.

@beebles Actually, #AMD @gpuopen needs to get their shit together and actually care aboit #Drivers and #Firmware working well at launch.

Nobody is gonna dish out 4 digits for their unstable af shit at launch as people like @fuchsiii basically have no week gone by when this stuff doesn't have issues!

There's a reason #AMD once has a 6% market share in dedicaded #GPU's on #Linux to the point that there were more #Intel #HD4000 #iGPUs in the #SteamSurvey for #Linux than all AMD + #ATi cards!

The humble ATI RAGE XL. Bought it for $13 with free shipping, and the thing looks brand new! Is someone actually manufacturing new ones? or is there just a TON of new old stock?

One of the coolest things I remember in the mid 2000's was the X1950 Pro, the first Value oriented chip from ATI that wasn't just all the specs of the high end cut in half, it was about 75% R580 based X1950 XTX specs wise, and used half the power, on top of this it was the first GPU to support Crossfire using an internal bridge, and not some terrible contraption connecting to DVI, not a fan of SLI or Crossfire, but it had it's place back then.

@Joseph @fuchsiii Yeah, it has a feckton of #bloat and #legacy code in it...

Just look at all the #EXT_ 's cuz there are companies that don't exist anymore like #SGI & #ATi inside it...

Also those "Extensions" very much fractured and complicated Support unnecessarily...

Heads up if you are watching the new Duggar Family/IBLP Amazon documentary “Shiny Happy People”:

In episode 4 at the 4 minute mark, they discuss what was in the CSA files on Josh Duggar’s computer. Skip to 4:20 to avoid.

xf86-video-ati 22.0 Released For Older #ATI / #AMD GPUs

Just gotta show off, because I think I'm done with this collection for now, until I get a bigger place at least :D
The collection is mainly centered around #ATI graphics cards, if you don't know who ATI are, they are the reason #AMD even makes graphics cards, AMD bought them in 2006, they became notable in 2002 by making R300 series GPU's that seemingly came out of nowhere and just dominated, changed a lot of conventional thinking regarding GPU designs

之前聊到單卡多GPU的產品
今天來聊聊單卡多GPU的鼻祖

#ATI Rage Fury MAXX

當然我還是要強調一下
這邊說的是 PC 端的鼻祖
當然我也可能有遺漏
歡迎幫忙補充

雖然早在 1998 年 #3dfx 就推出了 3D 加速卡 #Voodoo 2
並推出了 #SLI 技術使其可在兩張卡串聯的方式下運作

但真正第一張做到雙顯示晶片整合到同一張卡的產品
則是1999年的 ATI Rage Fury MAXX
串聯了兩顆 ATI Rage Pro 128 晶片
而串聯的技術正如其名
稱為 #MAXX
這個 MAXX 也被部分人認為是 ATi 以及後續 #AMD #CrossFire 技術的前身

而 3dfx 則是到了 2000 年才推出Voodoo5 5500
然而技術環境劇烈改變
已然不是只依靠核心堆疊就能追上跟其他廠商效能的差異

順帶一提
3dfx 後續被 #nvidia 收購
不過兩者的 SLI 技術
只有簡寫相同而已

@josephholsten @fuchsiii @bastetfurry @gpuopen I'd accept that if it was some old.abandonware by a defunct company (i.e. #Linux drivers for #3dfx cards) but not for a product that is beibg advertised to support #Linux and even if it wasn't costs 4 digits MSRP.

We ain't in 2007 anymore where everything but #Intel didn't work and #nvidia was like "here, take this binaryblob!" and #ATi was like "go fuck yourself!" when it comes to #GPU drivers.

Glad to see many familiar faces at an #ATI workshop in #Newcastle. Loved the first keynote by @CaitHRobin 👏

Athlon update: I found my Radeon 9200 SE and swapped it for the e-"""GeForce FX 5200.""" The """5200""" will be put in my Pentium II 350 desktop as originally planned. I also do have a CPU bracket now, but it's broken, so I need some superglue.
The 9200 didn't arrive in great shape so I'm not expecting it to work, it was packaged in bubble wrap and no antistatic bag, but might as well give it a shot. If not, maybe someone can use it to see what chips they can harves.

Finally got around to my new build (lol, 3+ years later). Bye Nvidia 👋 Hello #ati 👍 First is #Linux install, next Windows 11 eventually. #Archbtw

Here are some photos of BGA chips and a PGA chip from a laptop motherboard. The GPU is a ATI Radeon Mobility X700. One of the first PCI-Express chips from ATI. They were so proud of it that it was even written on the chips. :)
I used a hot air station to get it off the motherboard.
First i used 400°, but that didn't work. Then is used 500°, and that worked🔥

(I wonder which of these is the dominant tag, if any?)

It's tax refund season, and it's high time I built myself a new PC (or, since I'm increasingly lazy, have one built. Yes yes, I know). It's been literal decades since I've went with an #ATI/#AMD #GPU, because after getting screwed by the software suite, I once vowed that I'd never get one of their GPUs again until the Radeon software team is lined up against a wall and shot. I love AMD CPUs though and with one exception have been using them exclusively since the first Athlon, back when you could overclock them with a pencil.

But.

While Nvidia has served me well over the years, I'm not a fan of their self-immolating power connectors, and the dire state of Linux driver support.

So if you're still with me after this much text, some questions:

• Is the AMD GPU software suite in a better place than it was back in the era of Half-Life 2's release?
• What's the new hotness for a system builder that doesn't suck? I've heard positive rumblings about #Origin and #NZXT but would be interested to hear of other builder/sellers in the US of high repute.

@EeveeEuphoria
I've also had exceptionally bad times with #ATI. Current disaster is the abandoned Vega M chipset that will likely never work with # DirectX >= 12.

Jeg hintede at jeg hadde gang i flere retro prosjekter, normalt liker jeg å pushe ydelsen så høj at du ikke skal tænke på noget.
Min main DOS/Windows 9X gaming PC:
#AMD Athlon64 3200+
2x512MB DDR@400MHz CL2
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
#ATI Radeon X800 Pro 256MB
Kabinettet er et CoolerMaster Wavemaster(glemte å ta et bilde av fronten) Et av de peneste kabinetter fra det tidlige 2000. Kan skje kompatibilitet ikke er 100% skal teste med spesielt 16bit programvare.
#retrogaming #retrocomputing

Jeg var heldig å få tak i en gammel desktop som ble kastet.
#AMD Duron 700MHz
512MB@133MHz SD-RAM
Asus A7V hovedkort
#ATI Rage 128(oppgradert til et #3DFX Voodoo 3 3500 i bildet)
Kjøleren er ikke standard, det var en TT Volcano 12 jeg kjøpte(hadde planer om en annen retro PC før denne)
Fungere helt perfekt, har testet noen spil og Office97 på den. Har altid likt Duron, de føltes ikke ligeså ubrugelige som Celeron dengang gjorde 😩
