Ouch ... that brought back a painful memory.
ATI Rage Fury MAXX
(Image Credit: Internet)We had a client with a fair number of very proficient Photoshop drivers. They needed way more GPU than the then current "best" could give them.
So, we built a bleeding edge system with this card.
Everything seemed to pan out but then the drivers came back and bit us in the arse.
Ultimately, a very expensive failed experiment.
Remember the All-In-Wonder cards? I had one of those a long time that I used as a DVR. Same deal, but multiplied by 2 because of the TV tuner.
Yup. Lots of horror stories around ATI and their dismal driver record.
We just went through a round of pain with AMD/ATI RADEON PRO W5700 series cards flaking out in SolidWorks/3D CAD situations.
As much as things change, they sure remain the same.

I've got a 5600XT right now, and it's been good. That's really sad that the Pro W5700 has driver issues, the drivers are why we pay more for those sorts of cards!

Oh yeah.. I had one of those - love/hate relationship for sure!

Yes, but without the man bun.
