It's a good question, but suppose you had a competition for 280X only, would 7970 be allowed too? Same core different name. I know it's slightly different but it's all in a name.

 

At the end of the day I can only guess and I don't know the answer. Wait for one of the mods to make a decision.

 

 

Googled it now, and Ultra actually have lower clock speeds. I have to check my collection to see if I have pro or ultra or both.

I was confused on this also, wiki doesn't list Fury Pro as a Rage card at all, only the MAXX

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Rage_Series

 

And this old review seems to infer that Fury Pro = Rage Pro

So really not sure how to approach the stage, well other than use a Fury MAXX I guess.

So what is a "Fury Pro" then? As I see it every Rage 128 Pro-gpu based card that isn't a xpert 2000 Pro is in fact a Fury Pro.

 

I'm holding in my hand right now, a Rage 128 Pro that is neither Xpert 2000 or Fury Pro. I can post a pic if you like.

 

 

So they are separate cards? The Fury Pro is a Rage 128 Pro but not all Rage 128 Pro = Fury Pro?

*shrug* I guess. :o

But I don't think they were labelled "Fury Pro". Just that the Rage 128 Pro gpu was used for two cards, and those were sold as either Fury Pro or xpert 2000 Pro.

Seems that I have one not listed in those links, an ATI 3D Rage Pro Turbo.... However could be it is one of the linked cards with a different name, I dunno.

I have at least three variants of the Rgae cards including the one shown in the first link.

You have to lift the heat sink, if it doesn't say Rage 128 Pro on the heatspreader it's not a Fury-card.

 

Since its hard to tell which card is a Fury-card, I think that either all Rage 128 Pro based cards should be allowed or only Fury MAXX cards.

No heatspreader, looking at the bare core of the GPU to get the info of what it "is".

 

I agree, seems ATI made several variants of this card model but all look to be more or less the same in their overall specs. Maybe a touch more RAM on one model or something (Later revision?) but roughly the same thing.

I agree that the cores are effecitvely the same thing, but for the sake of not overcomplicating things can we just keep it to those with fury in the name.

 

Where does it say "Fury" on the card? On some sticker? On the PCB? Most of us don't have retail boxes.

Have we came up with a conclusion about the Fury stage ?

 

Which vga cards are allowed ? (other than fury maxx)

 

Which are the criteria of the moderating team in case of validation asked ?

Helpfull info ?

http://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/home/item/111-ati-rage-128-pro

 

Are we accepting the clocks shown by powerstrip ?

 

...and even more.

Since gpu-z is of NO use for this stage (usefull for dev_id) ?

 

Which software can we all of us agree to use ?

Aida ?
