Dude what are you talking about, it was still here less than 15 years ago. The Nintendo Wii literally had an ATI GPU

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.
fuck you
yes
Now remind me I'm supposed to schedule a prostate exam.
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
I love being 46 and in relatively good health. I remember ATI and nothing aches (งツ)ว

How about this one:
Security Industry Specialists?
I worked for them. And also won a CLA against them for not paying my or my coworkers wages.
Damn, I hope you got a good payout. The logo is for a taiwanese foundry called Silicon Integrated Systems; they used to make very cheap chipsets and stuff like that.
I had one of these, it was terrible, me and my friends called it The Cyst.

they do, but for the reasons you think ;)
I remember the Voodoo brand cards, so not only do my back and knees hurt, but I should probably start getting my prostate checked.
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.

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.

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.
FUCK YOU, also yes :(
My back and knees hurt back when AMD bought ATI.
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've started yelling at clouds too. Are you happy now?
I work in IT supporting cloud based architecture. Yelling at clouds is my job.
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.
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.
Get off my lawn
fuck you
it's just my back. My knees are perfectly ok somehow
Yep
Fuck you No I'm actually doing very good. I know the brand from my parents
That's just mean :(
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?
Only 25 but yes they do hurt.
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.
Pfff. I had a Compaq laptop with a "blazing fast 12mbps" Express WiFi card. Everything hurts.
