>Battlemage is still treated to fully open-source graphics driver support on Linux. I am hoping these are open in such a manner that they can be used in OpenBSD. Right now I avoid all hardware with a Nvidia GPU. That makes for somewhat slim pickings. If the firmware is acceptable to the OpenBSD folks, then I will happly use these.
Unlabelled graphs are infuriating. Are the charts average framerate? Mean framerate? Maximum framerate?
It's a real shame, the single slot a380 is a great performance for price light gaming and general use card for small machines.
IIRC that was one of the original goals of geohot's tinybox project, though I'm not sure exactly where that evolved
I'm really curious to see if these still rely heavily on resizable BAR. Putting these in old computers in linux without reBAR support makes the driver crash with literally any load rendering the cards completely unusable.

Very happy with my A770. Godsend for people like me who want plenty VRAM to play with neural nets, but don't have the money for workstation GPUs or massively overpriced Nvidia flagships. Works painlessly with linux, gaming performance is fine, price was the first time I haven't felt fleeced buying a GPU in many years. Not having CUDA does lead to some friction, but I think nVidia's CUDA moat is a temporary situation.
Prolly sit this one out unless they release another SKU with 16G or more ram. But if Intel survives long enough to release Celestial, I'll happily buy one.
I put an a360 Card into an old machine I turned into a plex server. It turned it into a transcoding powerhouse. I can do multiple indepdent streams now without it skipping a beat. Price-performance ratio was off the chart
Not a huge fan of the numbering system they've used. B > A doesn't parse as easily as 5xxx > 4xxx to me.

What is the newest platform that lacks resizable BAR? It was standardized in 2006. Is 4060-level graphics performance useful in whatever old computer has that problem?
Bit disappointed there's no 16gig(or more) version. But absolutely thrilled the rumours of Intel discrete graphics' demise were wildly exaggerated(looking at you, Moore's Law is Dead...).
