mm good old ati 9700 stock 275mhz overclocked to ~400-430mhz making it faster than a 9800xt and fx5950 brings a tear to my eye remembering benching it with aquamark

i think the ATI name stayed so long due to the color, green vs green would be confusing. i hope amd takes over red for good.

This. Intel has blue, nVidia has green, and it's just appropriate that AMD take the third spoke in the primary colour wheel now that they're competing with both. Who cares that rebranding AMD's logo might cost millions, it would be a minor convenience to some of us, and in the end that's what matters. Right?

Didn't AMD exist before nvidia? So nvidia needs to move off of AMD's color. Make them yellow! :rofl:

nV deserves red: their cards burn holes through floors.

Nvidia deserves the color yellow: the color of an egg, sunny side up! :p:

Yeah, but Rambus patented all shades of green and nVidia licensed its use as part of their recent agreement.

when i first started reading that i thought it was gonna be a joke about black vs red on accounting statements.

which then means AMD should be red, cause thats the only color they write their books in

The X1900XT was my first self-bought GPU. We had a 9600 Pro back in the day, though, in our family rig. Ohhhh, Quake 2 memories all of a sudden. :D

This will hurt "Intel+ati" fans the most I guess

I think it's time to drop the ATI name...

Can't really say I've had any real issues with either AMD's or Nvidia's drivers for the most part. A couple random occurrences or glitches, but never near the scale that some people make it out to be :shrug:

Agreed with that. Driver glitches were nVidia's thing when WinVista came out.

Last one was large quantities of G92 going to heaven due to some 2010 nvidia butched drivers.

At least they didn't deleted post like Apple does with "insignificant" problems in the Jobs religion.

Lol, who cares how it's called. It can be called "Turd Graphics" and wouldn't change anything if the hardware is good.
I was saying "AMD Radeon" after the acquisition of ATI for the most of their cards (released after), so it took quite long for the brand to change. It's the whole company image that has to be unified under a single brand. And that is "AMD". It makes perfect sense.
Having two different names only makes sense when they both produce same kind of products, just for different segments.
Like ASUS and AsRock. But it doesn't make much sense when one part is producing CPU's and other graphic cards.

Btw, i like the new CCC design posted on the first page. It looks really nice and sleek.

This should happen a long time ago...

p.s. The remaining goodwill of ATi should be written off in the next few quarters.

Am I the only one that thinks that this might have to do with Fusion and Bulldozer? With fusion it only makes sense to call it AMD graphics since it's on the same chip as an AMD CPU.
And with Bulldozer and SI/NI they might want a unified portfolio for marketing reasons. Imagine a system made from AMD only parts breaking the world record in 3Dmark at release. What do you think it does to AMDs image if you can't build a system able to beat the record without using at least some AMD parts.

Even if BD don't beat SB, NI might give BD a boost in sales.

Has AMD ever delivered a bad driver? :confused:
Of course ATi drivers had their problems, as all highend graphics drivers has. But I can't remember a single problem I had with AMDs drivers.

Rock solid chipsets with drivers that never fail.

Seems like about 50% of the people that posted in this thread either a) didn't read the title or article correctly or b) just saw KitGuru and ignored it...

I was wondering what was taking so long, AMD needs to get their name out there, some people might not realize they are actually behind ATI, they need to take more credit for what they're making:up:

Supporting two brands is hella expensive, AMD should have done it much earlier.

Also they should think about cutting some of their CPU brands, since there are simply too many: Sempron, Athlon, Phenom, Turion, Opteron.

Sempron in my eyes is a goner, Turion is also not needed in the mobile space (Athlon or Phenom mobile would be enough).

AMD simply should rethink their strategy when it comes to brands and their ability to support and promote them.

The release of Bulldozer, Llano and Bobcat won't make thing better I'm afraid.
