-My understanding is that this project has been abandoned and as a result was taken open source.

The guy behind it was contracted by AMD, but as they got further along I think it was starting to get legally tenuous so AMD pulled the plug and the project went open source per the contract.

So I figure as CUDA gets new releases, new cards are released, and this project fallows, not much will come of this.

Cool nonetheless and a shame we don't have a proper unified direct compute language...
I imagine the industry will keep updating it.

And AMD has officially dropped the price of the 7700 XT down to $419.

Should check out CoD:MW2/MW3 benches, wonder why there's zero marketing around it and then think even less about AMD's marketing dept.
Yeah I remember I was into MW2 and the 7900XTX performed probably the best at it. I don't know if this is still true, but the card is up there.

I got a 7900xtx nitro+ waterblocked, only playing Diablo4 with it so far, but doesn't max 8350 out at 100% fulltime.

Let's see how low AMD's driver overhead can go...
Forget the drivers, AM3+ was still limited to PCIe 3 wasn't it?
XTX must be choking in there.
Sad GPU crying yellow.
It's extra funny because Nitro+ is like the ultimate of what Sapphire can produce.

At least give it a DDR4 based CPU, for pity's sake.

I initially thought he meant the i3 8350, but then I looked at his signature.
What the heck...why? Did his new mobo+cpu die?
And I looked at FX 8350 benchmarks and Jesus, I had no idea just how poor Bulldozer was. I know it was BAD, but not DOA on every single release between 2011-2015.
It's quite miraculous that AMD survived that.
