im very impressed with how far amd has come since bulldozer

2021-01-02 21:45:16 UTC  

I wish I had been smart enough to get in on that action. Lol.

2021-01-02 21:45:29 UTC  

and glad that intel is finally doing something again

2021-01-02 21:45:49 UTC  

What's crazy is that they did it on a shoe string budget for their rnd.

2021-01-02 21:48:12 UTC  

With the beat down AMD is doing on Intel, now they need to focus on Nvidia. While they aren't great in the consumer GPU market, they are still quite competitive with the workstation market. Now if AMD can get the market off Cuda to open compute standards they will really take off in the workstation and server market.

2021-01-02 21:48:50 UTC  

i mean other than RTX the 6000 series is really good

2021-01-02 21:48:54 UTC  

I think navi was a great stepping stone.

2021-01-02 21:49:33 UTC  

i wonder if the 7000 series will be like the HD 7000 series

2021-01-02 21:49:46 UTC  

ie really damn good

2021-01-02 21:49:49 UTC  

Ray tracing is about on par with the 2000 series. Which is not bad considering they never did it before.

2021-01-02 21:49:58 UTC  

yeah

2021-01-02 21:50:39 UTC  

Well if the patent I read is true then it'll be awesome.

2021-01-02 21:50:48 UTC  

patent?

2021-01-02 21:51:21 UTC  

On dec 30th 2020 amd filed a parent for chiplet gpu cores.

2021-01-02 21:52:05 UTC  

hell yes, if that is anything like what it did for their CPUs it will be amazing

2021-01-02 21:52:06 UTC  

So it sounds like Rdna is about to get a whole lot better.

2021-01-02 21:54:26 UTC  

I still have my 7850 in one of my drawers just in case I need it to test a system that does not have a built in GPU. Particularly when my main workstation is water-cooled (including the GPUs) so testing isn't easy.

2021-01-02 21:55:17 UTC  

I have an ATI radeon 7000m in my laptop, boy i sure wish it was a HD 7000 series XD

2021-01-02 21:57:41 UTC  

and a Pentium 4 desktop file server has a Radeon HD 7570 custom pcie 1x edition

2021-01-02 21:58:43 UTC  

Why would they make a 1x PCIe edition?

2021-01-02 21:58:54 UTC  

so it could fit in the only pcie slot it had

2021-01-02 21:58:57 UTC  

pcie 1.1 1x

2021-01-02 21:59:12 UTC  

barely faster than pci, but pci cards are hard to find modern ones

2021-01-02 22:01:33 UTC  

the onboard graphics were unsupported, so i had to improvise

2021-01-02 22:02:11 UTC  

Sounds like it's time to update the system. Lol.

2021-01-02 22:02:31 UTC  

Nah, its the only PC i have that can read floppies

2021-01-02 22:02:38 UTC  

For archival purposes

2021-01-02 22:03:14 UTC  

not archiving TO floppies, but from them

2021-01-02 22:03:46 UTC  

And they didn't make it, i modded the card to be pcie 1x

2021-01-02 22:04:21 UTC  

kinda like this

2021-01-02 22:04:29 UTC  

its as easy as cutting off the extra lanes

2021-01-02 22:04:55 UTC  

Any GPU should be able to run at 1x however I'd recommend just using a PCIe extension rather than cutting the card.

2021-01-02 22:05:19 UTC  

Its a card i got for 5$ on ebay, and i didnt find any mining risers for 5$

2021-01-02 22:05:44 UTC  

not to mention mounting that in a BTX case would probably be a pain

2021-01-02 22:06:17 UTC  

I bought a usb floppy reader and writer. Like 15 or 20 bucks off Amazon in 2019. Lol.

2021-01-02 22:06:24 UTC  

Wow, you actually have one of those unicorn BTX cases

2021-01-02 22:06:24 UTC  

5.25 floppies

2021-01-02 22:06:39 UTC  

Ah. Those old ones.

2021-01-02 22:06:44 UTC  

I'm not paying 90$ for a kyroflux or whateve rthey are called
