rofl I had one of those http://diablotek.com/v2.0/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/ATI_Rage_128_Pro_4aca8fe112fa8.jpg
Also had a nvidia 256 which was my DADS CARD! He was a real gamer yo. 😀 I was a kid and didn't even know I had the best graphics card available. 😀

I had a crappy ATI on board chip in my PC and a friend of mine got one that had an Nvidia TNT2 in it... 🙁

The new GPUs will be based on the same architecture like the 285, which is GCN 1.2.

you was sure this was not the dual Rage processors core, the first ever cards gpu's with dual gpu's never made.

ati whats in a name?
If AMD misses on this release they will be known as Radeon Fur-e not Fury!:butt:

I had ATI RageIIc and then I got RivaTNT 2 Pro... it was unbelievable. Things actually worked, no rendering problems and it actually accelerated games instead of slowing them down. RageIIc did so great job ruining my childhood gaming experience that I still hold grudges towards AMD. On top of that when I gave ATI second chance the X1800 XT died right after its one year warranty ended. So if I appear to lean towards the green side, you now know the reason why.

Yeah, brings back old memories 🙂

Makes sense, as anyone who buys one will be furyous.

I hope AMD doesn't do this...! People do not have fond memories of the pre-ArtX ATi, and I'm one of them. The Rage Fury was an awful product--it made me *furious* on more than one occasion.
Anecdote: I'd been running a 16MB Voodoo3 on a 2048x1536 Windows desktop when I decided to give the Rage Fury a shot...ROOB I couldn't get the card to support that resolution for the Windows desktop--I had to *call ATi* at the time and *speak to a driver programmer* who was interested in learning why I wanted to run my desktop at such a high resolution--and I learned that ATI "had no plans" to support such resolutions in the future (lol) and so that is where I first learned how to play with a Windows install .inf to be able to manipulate the resolutions a given display adapter could use.
But that wasn't the worst of it: the 3D ran like a slide show--it was really, really fast if you could coax it to 10 fps @ 640x400--all the while I was used to 3dfx's very playable 25-35 fps GLIDE gaming. I had a TNT1/2 in those days (which I had used with a 3dfx V2) that wasn't much better--nVidia loved to play up the fact that 3dfx wasn't running in 24-bit color in those days, but the fact was that 3dfx's 16/22-bit GLIDE hybrid mode ran much better than the either TNT product could run in 24-bit D3d/OpenGL. But the Rage Fury was even worse than the TNT/2...;) I returned it to Best Buy a few days later for a full refund--that was my last ATi product until the company turned the corner with R300 (courtesy of ArtX.)
Pre ArtX was not a good chapter in ATi's 3d-accelerator history, imo. In those days, 3dfx made everyone look bad...;) But I'll never forget my Rage Fury, and that's not such a good thing for ATi. AMD has in the past several years endeavored to distance itself from the old ATi marketing--I think that was/is the best course for the company. Looking back like that just seems sort of lame. If they want to go retro over something people have good memories of then the upcoming Fiji products should be tagged "R300A", or something else evocative of a bright period in ATi's past. "Rage Fury" surely was not it...:D

Fury will be unleashed. Time to cut some grass, green everywhere.

That 370 literally says Pitcairn though

I'm not sure I'm a fan of this. AMD's naming scheme is already a pretty complicated mess, adding the word "Fury" in the mix doesn't make things any easier. I also think they could easily do without all the rebrands. Drop the X suffix, take out all the un-changed rebrands (such as the current R9 360), and they have a decent lineup that's mostly (though not 100%) new tech. They don't NEED to have so many options. If they want to get rid of old stock, keep the old names as they are, continue to sell them, and just drop the price. If someone is intending to get something like an R9 360, they're obviously not striving for the latest and greatest.
lol you mean furry?

Not sure if the new Radeon Fury card will beat the Titan X or not but it will give it a run for its money and the same for the 980ti. If I were going to purchase a 3xx card I would get a 390 (yeah I know its the same as the 290x) but 8gb of Vram can be very useful.
Well wasnt the Rage fury card a dual GPU card? Because I remember reading about that GPU in the history of GPUs right here on this site.

Voodoo 3 days were Good. Cept not having enough memory to load the textures for Tribes 2
ATi Rage 128 was dead to me, only spent a few days in a PC, rest of its life in a box before the bin. The thing never felt good to me.

nvidia started releasing maxwell 1.5 years ago and it has been in steps, ie 750ti, 750, then 980/970 then 960, then Titan X and now 980ti. I would not call that rushing at all and amd never sees to be in a rush releasing products any way. They still feature kepler era (discontinued) competition as their flagship line right now.

Idk, seems to me that Kepler cards cant compete with with current 280/290's. Last few games proved that. Thats why "fixing" is on the way but i would not count on that.
