Awesome man! are you still going back to University of Delaware? My good friend works there in the Library.

No, I'm attending business classes at Wilmington University.
With two sessions per semester, I plan on taking 9 credits per session, 18 credits per semester.
So with the 12 I earn this Summer, I should have 48 accumulated by next Summer.

I will kick back and attend part time after that.

Once I get the business degree I may approach the U of D about further course work in Animal Science or Resource Economics.

And somewhere in there I want to work on my coding skills.
I hope to have an X5000 to play with during my limited spare time some time soon.

It has no where near the cpu power needed to use those cards. You were the one who wondered how the 2 boards compare, I just gave the best answers I could based on what information was available to me. Warp3D Nova supports low end R5 (230, 235 and 235X) cards anyway so you don't need a beast of a video card to take advantage of the new shader based API.

Sorry, that's an error in the documentation. Radeon R5 230/235/235X cards are actually variants of the Radeon HD 6450 (Caicos GPU), so they're NOT supported. The lowest end Southern Islands card that's currently supported is the Radeon HD R7 250E (NOTE: The "E" at the end is very important, as the R7 250 isn't supported yet).

Sorry about the confusion. I'll correct the docs for future versions.

The AmiBoing guys did a test that answers this question quite nicely (watch the youtube clip to see the difference).

I thought it was a bit odd that they should be supported in Nova when they aren't in Warp3D.

250E looks like a versatile card since there are low profile versions that would suitable for PCI based systems and at least one single slot card for Sam460 users not wanting to block off the the PCI slot. Hopefully they're not too difficult to find yet.

13-Nov-2003, waiting for the right company of people to bring back a revolutionary machine. Started on A.org, then they broke its layout, I came here.
Frikken old now. :(
