Dude what are you talking about, it was still here less than 15 years ago. The Nintendo Wii literally had an ATI GPU

I hate to break it to you but the Wii came out 17 years ago
It came out in 2006, but production didn’t stop until 2013. There is still a very active homebrew and modding community out there.
Not that much time
How about this one then?
Oh come on that's not even that old
Looks at release date
oh...
I was 9 when they were released lol
Oh I had that one it was great
Well most people wouldn't really know the name of a company like that until they were 15 or so, and 30 is when the back pain really starts to hit so it seems pretty accurate.
fuck you
yes
i would have went with this rule
I would have gone with the Antikythera Mechanism myself
or this tbh
Ooh that's a good one. Ow owie my powdered urned kneecaps
I learned to program on a CoCo3 that was hooked to a 13" CRT as a monitor.
How about this one:
Security Industry Specialists?
I worked for them. And also won a CLA against them for not paying my or my coworkers wages.
Damn, I hope you got a good payout. The logo is for a taiwanese foundry called Silicon Integrated Systems; they used to make very cheap chipsets and stuff like that.
I had one of these, it was terrible, me and my friends called it The Cyst.
My first "multimedia" computer back in '99 had an integrated SiS VGA card, with an amazing 8MB video RAM.
Before that, my computer was a keyboard-only monochrome 386 with windows 3.1
Yes, my back is killing me but my knees are surprisingly ok.
There was a 15 minute window where the 735 was the best Socket A chipset on the market.
Unfortunately, they couldn't get past cheapo ECS mainboards.
Thank you for the memory! The first "retail" card I ever purchased (from a small town computer shop), literally just said AGP Graphics Adapter on the box... and inside was a delightfully generic SiS board, with which I had many fun hours.
My super7 mainboard was the best! Upgrade to a k6-2 and I've overclocked the bus to 112mhz
So every GameCube owner? Since the GC has a “Graphics by ATi” sticker on the front.
Athlon64 days!
they do, but for the reasons you think ;)
My back and knees hurt back when AMD bought ATI.
I love being 46 and in relatively good health. I remember ATI and nothing aches (งツ)ว
Mid 40s and the two weeks my buddy lent me his voodoo 2, which was CPU-INDEPENDENT, were some of the best times I had playing FF7 on my DX4. I should have my prostate checked.
It ain't so bad. Just make sure you go home and take a shower and don't head back to work after....
Also choose your urologist by glove size.
You mean largest glove size right?👉🏻👈🏻
My first Video card was Cirrus Logic. Spent $110 dollars to get 2 512KB memory chips to add to the card, but combined the 2MB video made Wing Commander III look great!
Yep
I remember this brand fondly but, my back and knee pains aren't from age but from getting side-swipped by an SUV on my motorcycle a few years ago. 30s isn't old, it's just adult, instead of young adult of the 20s.
That's just mean :(
I mean the cards were much lighter over what's made today.... So backs are ok.
Fuck you No I'm actually doing very good. I know the brand from my parents
Only 25 but yes they do hurt.
A Tyre Inside?
Needs more 3Dfx
The 9x00 Gen ATI cards were awesome. The 9500 could be modded into an honest to goodness 9700. The 9700 was just a downclocked 9700pro. The things you could do with bios mods and a little overclocking were just great.
My back gets sore just thinking about all the time I spent crawling around my PC case on the floor.
Consider getting a coloscopy.
This could be a nursing meme and still 100% accurate lol
Monster voodoo 3d
The good old days when you had just two choices and were either in the Riva TNT or the Voodoo club for a graphics card.
