I loved ATI techdemos of that era, and there was usually a screensaver version included. I used this one even after I got my fancy new 9500 Pro

[@antdude]

9800 Pro for me! Ant Mobeus one was the best. ;)

[@jamesfmackenzie]

I remember these old screen savers and tech demos very fondly. For the 8500 i also remember a metallic looking seascape with rolling waves - great times!!

[@cihankenar1]

Love it Phil! I hope you do the other videos. Especially the Tunnels one ! Loved that one.

[@philscomputerlab]

This one? ruclips.net/video/6eJHVwHllV4/видео.html

[@mesterak]

Thanks for sharing Phil 👍

[@harleyn3089]

Super fun.
I never had an 8500, but I had a Radeon 9100 128 MB, which was a die shrink of the same card. That's the card I first played Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic on.

[@vl0guz]

It was not a die shrink

[@louistournas120]

Back then, I think I had the 9500 and I had the version that could be softmodded to run as a 9700.
I wanted to run the Dawn demo, the one where the fariy walks on a branch.
They had programmed it to use NV_register_combiner2 or 3 and so, the ATI cards did not have that feature.
It took years for OpenGL 2.0 to come along and along with it, GLSL which was universal.

G'day Phil,
I miss screen savers, especially cool ones like this, Tropical Fish, The one that made Terminators & especially 🐶Bad Dog

[@pc-sound-legacy]

Nice one! Thanks for sharing with us, Phil

[@j0eb0t0]

classic

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Very Nice... play it on a 4K 75" TV :-) very relaxing... Just upload the tune and bubbles without the RADEON logo in the corner, and it is perfect for playing in the living room as a relaxing screen saver.

[@RevDrCCoonansr]

Beautiful

[@SireSquish]

Phil, do you remember the realtime Animusic one? (The one with marbles falling onto instruments to make a tune)

[@philscomputerlab]

Yes check my Radeon 9700 video 😄

[@SneakiestDuke68]

Nice screen saver

[@carltonleboss]

Cool stuff.

[@JohnSmith-xq1pz]

Even coolor then the Vista/7 bubble screensaver

[@JohnnyIzGorodaN]

Cool

[@aussiepunkrocksV20]

Any tech demos for PowerVR Kyro?

[@philscomputerlab]

I don't think so, at least never heard of any...

[@laharl2k]

i always liked 3D screensavers but i never liked that they made the gpu get super hot, like it was a waste of electricity. If only they added frame limiters or something to avoid that happening....

[@philscomputerlab]

No doubt this one stresses the card to the max!

[@justice_1337]

If it cant give me a headache like maze I do not want !

[@cesaru3619]

Very cute but, Nvidia GeForce 3 MASTER RACE!

[@ecash00]

why is it bumping? tried it from 4k down and all setting are bumping. strange

[@Bassquake76]

Probably captured at wrong framerate. I see the regular frame jumping too.

[@AstroTechGuy]

Pffft... I'm playing it on 144p, what you wanna do? :P
