What was the worst GPU architecture of all time?
Was it Fermi? Geforce FX?
Whatever it is, you don't know about it. You've only heard of the products that were minimally viable for commercial release.
Anything you picked as "the worst," you would have loved to have two generations earlier.
maxwell

I meant from the ones that have been released, yeah.
And not just based on pure hardware power, more like price, efficiency, heat, disappointment factor, etc.

Well, then not counting $1000 workstation cards with the power of a $100 desktop card, probably the Matrox Parhelia.
voodoo2

>price, efficiency, heat, disappointment factor
fermi for sure.
AMD was completely buttblasting nvidya price:performance, and even had the single best GPU on the market at the time.
nshidya got so desperate they bought a bunch of startup companies (like physx) just to patent and try to claim they have something special which the competition can't do..
when really AMD gpus are more than capable of the samephysx style graphics... such a shit company doing such shit things...
>le .5gb meme
pretty sure they pulled the same bullshit with the gtx 470
>>51911549
wasn't the 300 series only released for mobile?
skipped over from 2x series (tesla) to 4x series (fermi)
CGA.
Don't evwn try to tell me that it doesn't count. That's the goddamn point. Shit doesn't even have raster interrupts.

Are you talking about the HD5870? If so, you do know they bought out PhysX quite a while before that card came out right?
Nvidia bought PhysX at the time the HD3000 series was out, and that was a fairly poor effort from AMD you know
>>51911558
i just saw a link to one thats like $4000 wtf
>>51911549
Good times. Also pork shoulders.
>>51911683
Well, why do you think is that? 1.7%, if I remember it right nvidia marketed 300 no worse than maxwell, but fucked up, god i hope they fuck up HBM this year.

I remember when they paid the developers of Assassins Creed to patch out their DX10.1 support, because it improved framerates on compatible hardware, and no Geforce card at the time supported DX10.1.
Larrabee was shit. Also voodoo3 was a pretty le epic fail lol
I miss 2009 /g/

Assuming you aren't just trying to rustle jimmies, the voodoo 3 was great and did great. It was the business side where 3dfx got fucked hard.

GCN HOUSEFIRE GARBAGE

GCN is pretty good aside from the housefire thing
Fermi was a bigger housefire
