Whatever happened to AMD/ATI's Ruby?

[blastingcap]

Haven't seen Ruby on any box covers or in any demos in years.

Maybe Nvidia's "claw," as JHH recently called NV's new logo, abducted her?

Edit: Never mind, it looks like she's been cloned and given away to promote APUs: http://hothardware.com/cs/forums/p/57764/416183.aspx

It's only being used by Sapphire, which is AMD's official board partner (like EVGA with NVIDIA).

I've bought Sapphire cards twice in a row now, and there was no Ruby on the box cover, just some chica who doesn't look like Ruby for the 6850, and an army girl for the 7970.

Sounds like she wasn't very popular, then. As a result, they murdered her and only her memory remains with us. :'(

She was a red. Don't get me wrong I like reds in the moment. But they aren't the stereotypical fantasy that lasts.

Maybe Kenny Rodgers knows, "Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town..."

I miss Ruby!! :wub:

She was the reason why I purchased my first ATI Card... it got me to look at the box.

Acquired by VTX3D for their marketing perhaps?

Do they still have GPU-specific demos for new graphics cards?

 

[SickBeast]

Ruby died.

 

[SlowSpyder]

I can't seem to find it right now, but I thought AMD used Ruby running from a robot for the 5870's tech demo.

Is it wrong if I laughed? [seriously...]

 

[Joseph F]

I thought that they had gotten rid of her when they had gotten rid of the ATI brand.

 

[Rubycon]

Oh the irony! Most here call me Ruby and my real name is Dawn...

That said, behold the power of Blonde...

JFAMD got her pregnant and she lost her figure .

Still waiting for GPUs to get powerful enough to render every single hair separately. [redacted]

Amusing, but this is a bit too graphic for the technical forums. Leave such fantasies for OT

Pipe Dream for the 9700 Pro is still my favorite.
