Now remind me I'm supposed to schedule a prostate exam.
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.

How about
then?
Oh I had that one it was great
I’m 30 and my back hurts. Has done for 8+ years. So this could apply to anyone ~22 or over in my experience.
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.
Do you mean this?
Yes, anyone over 30 is super old omg lol. I can't even imagine how horrible it must be!
So every GameCube owner? Since the GC has a “Graphics by ATi” sticker on the front.

Is ATI not still around? I thought I still saw Radeon GPUs pretty regularly, no?
They got bought up by AMD and their mobile GPU division got bought by qualcom.
AMD bought ATI a while ago. The ATI brand hasn't existed for about as long but AMD kept branding their GPUs with Radeon
they do, but for the reasons you think ;)
I love being 46 and in relatively good health. I remember ATI and nothing aches (งツ)ว
Fuck you, I wish you a continued long and healthy life ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
ATI 9800 pro held a special place in my heart. If I remember correctly it's what I played half life 2 on.
IIRC that was the ideal GPU to play Half-life 2. My 9700m could not keep up. I was only 16 at the time, so I fell for the lies from the DELL salesman when I was buying my first gaming machine for that game. He told me that mobile GPUs are almost as good as desktop GPUs, and that the 9700m was almost as good as the 9800 desktop card. It was not.
Barely got 30 FPS on medium, and I couldn't run it at the laptop's native resolution of 1900x1200. Had to settle for 1280x800 and the crappy upscaling of the time.
I worked my ass off an entire summer for that stupid brick of a laptop (it was a first gen XPS, BTW), and it couldn't even do 60 FPS in the latest games. I was betrayed so hard by that purchase that I learned how to build my own PCs so I'd never have to settle for an overpriced "gaming" laptop ever again.

I remember the Voodoo brand cards, so not only do my back and knees hurt, but I should probably start getting my prostate checked.
FUCK YOU, also yes :(
FFS. My first GPU was an ATI 9250. My knees are fine thank you!
I mean the cards were much lighter over what's made today.... So backs are ok.
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.
Consider getting a coloscopy.
They let you shit in a box and mail it now.
But remember, there is a specific lab you're supposed to send it to.

Not true. You can always send it to my boss's house if you'd prefer.
My back and knees hurt back when AMD bought ATI.
I've started yelling at clouds too. Are you happy now?
I work in IT supporting cloud based architecture. Yelling at clouds is my job.
My knees are fine and my back doesn't hurt from age.
Healthy knees and back ATI crew gather right here! 👇✋
Hah! Jokes on you my back started hurting when I was 10 and my knees when I was 18! :'(
Get off my lawn
fuck you
it's just my back. My knees are perfectly ok somehow
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!
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.
Yep
gonna fire up my ATI capture card and get my STANDARD DEF XL-1 footage into FCP 2.1....probably lay down some sweet Thievery Corporation track as a my background music.
How the fuck am I nostalgic for that?
Pfff. I had a Compaq laptop with a "blazing fast 12mbps" Express WiFi card. Everything hurts.
If you remember this brand and your back and knees hurt you probably shoulda spent more time exercising, but the good news is it probably isnt too late to eat healthy and take care of your body.
Pour one out for ATI :(
Fuck you No I'm actually doing very good. I know the brand from my parents
