Something I'm trying to help with. =) Of course, I'm sure I'll be sold out too, or at least I hope so, cause that means buying more GPUs! But at least I'm actively putting my own time/energy toward this goal.
> The second is that this costs money at all, vs. using the GPU you already have.
As much as I'd love to believe in some utopia that there is a world where every single GPU can be used for science, I don't think we are ever going to get there. AMD, while large, isn't an infinite resource company. We're talking about a speciality level of engineering too.
> You want the barrier to adoption to be level with the ground.
100% agreed, it is a good goal, but that's a much larger problem than just AMD supporting their 6-7 year old cards.
