Rendition Video - AMD

[Saloei]

I remember when i was in here posting questions about my Rendition V2100 video card. I dont see any forums about Renditions in here. That card ran my CART RACING like a champ! funny how they dissapeared and now they're only ATI and nVidia as the 2 front runners. now that AMD acquired ATI we'll see good Physics Proccessing on video cards. I look forward to seeing this happen as ATI has always been a more efficient product as far as crunching out quality effects with slower cores and as a result--cooler cards.

That must have been under a different name, because it says that this is your first post. :confused:

I wouldn't expect that just because AMD merges with ATI that the physics engine developement will suddenly get better. If developers offer more utilization in their products then manufacturers will begin to build more.

Isn't it the other way around most of the time (e.g. dualcore/multicore sli/quad-sli) Hardware is always coming first, which is quite obvious IMHO, no-one can program something that utilises an accellerator that doesn't exist.
Concerning ati and amd, I think we shouldn't quite expect any results of the merger in the next year(s). The merger will take a lot of time until they are able to really work at top speed together.

These message boards have taken a couple dumps over the last 8 years or so. Obviously he hasn't posted here under his current name at all but as you said, he could have been here back in the rendition days even with the same name but he just never re-registered the last time the boards were wiped which was about 4 years ago.

I sure all that is pretty obvious though, I'm not actually sure why I'm even bothering to post this. I guess I just had an itch to type... Ignore me...

Well then, welcome back Saloei! :)

thanks Kougar. that was so long ago, i dont remember the username i used. as we have experienced, first comes the hardware then the support. the only exception to that rule is microsoft with their DirectX. i always read about DirectX first and then see the hardare appear.
