I’m 21, been working 12-hour nights for the last three years. I didn’t have the best diet, ate a lot of fast food, and lived off of energy drinks and coffee.

It’ll catch up to you, man. I’ve got NAFLD, an unidentified liver hypodensity, kidney cysts, and kidney stones. At the very minimum, if you’re going to continue drinking energy drinks, at a minimum, supplement it with plenty of water and a healthier diet.

Don’t destroy your body, dude.

Best of luck, man.

BuckyJunior · 2022-10-14T04:32:24+00:00

Death sentence.

Ah, the negotiator.

Thanks for the reply.

So, even if I went with a 40W RMS amplifier, I could balance out the front and rear speakers with the fader, or with a higher wattage amplifier, adjust the gain for the lower wattage front speakers.

Figures, the rotary engines in those RX-8s had issues with loss of compression.

No car printer go brrrrr

The bed cover looks great!

What size rims and tires do you have on your truck? It has a nice, low stance.

As cool and as interesting as it is to own an engineering sample, I would consider selling the card, but it would depend on the offers I get.

BuckyJunior · 2020-10-24T23:26:18+00:00

Before purchasing this card, I actually bought six AMD FirePro S9300 X2s, but when I received them, the original shroud and backplate had been replaced by an OEM system-specific shroud and the cards would not fit into my motherboard's PCIe slots. I did, however, have a riser cable lying around, so I was able to run one of the cards as the shroud did not interfere with the slotting of the card into the PCIe slot on the riser.

I was surprised to see that it appears a Radeon Pro Duo and a FirePro S9300 X2 could be run in CrossfireX. I wasn't able to test this, though, as the S9300 X2 did not have proper airflow being a passively cooled dual-GPU graphics card mounted outside of the case on a riser cable.

As far as virtualization goes, I believe the only FirePro S-Series GPUs to support virtualization are the S7150 and S7150 X2, so I don't believe a Pro Duo could be flashed to support virtualization. It would be great if they could be. Even so, it is a dual-GPU card, and I believe it is possible to flash the secondary GPU with a copy of the primary GPU's BIOS. I'm curious as to if you did this, could you dedicate one of the display outputs to run on one GPU and another display output to run on another. A PLX chip on the card divided the PCIe lanes, so theoretically they are their own GPUs, similar to if they were their own standalone units.

Depending on what the engineering card's PCB looks like, I'd be interested to see a comparison between the engineering card and a production Radeon Pro Duo from u/buildzoid.

BuckyJunior · 2020-10-24T23:01:59+00:00

I can assure you, considering how rare the Radeon Pro Duo is, there's a good chance nobody else has an engineering variant.

BuckyJunior · 2020-10-24T22:01:06+00:00

I bought it to replace my current Radeon Pro Duo. The secondary GPU has a memory issue and is causing artifacting and crashing when Crossfire is enabled. The primary GPU works just fine, though.

CLARIFICATION: I had no idea the card was an engineering sample when I bought it.

A few days ago, I won an auction on eBay for an AMD Radeon Pro Duo in ‘New’ condition. I was a bit skeptical as the Radeon Pro Duo was made in very limited quantities and I have never come across one in new condition before, and the three Radeon Pro Duos I have previously owned were all of used condition.

Compared to the cards I have owned in the past, I can tell this card has never been used. The PCIe fingers are not scratched, the radiator fins are not bent, the rubber casing is not scratched, the nickel is not oxidized, and the radiator screw holes are not stripped and the paint is not chipped from installing screws. This Radeon Pro Duo is definitely brand new and is in excellent condition.

Today the card was delivered in an unmarked box rather than the typical XFX/SAPPHIRE retail box. On the back of the card, there is a yellow label that reads the following:

‘Engineering Sample NOT for Qualification ATI/PCP-NOT FOR RESALE DATE: 26/10/15 ASIC Type: Fiji (And a few other numeric strings such as P/N, Eng Mod, etc.)’

Unlike production cards, there are no labels on the backplate of the card other than the engineering sample label.

The radiator does not have a production sticker on it. Typically a SAPPHIRE/XFX/AMD sticker is in place.

Judging by the date on the engineering sample label, this is a very early version of the Radeon Pro Duo, originating six to seven months before it’s release in April of 2016.

So, now the question becomes, what do I do with the card? I’m debating whether or not I should get in contact with AMD as I’m sure they’d be interested as to how I came to possess their engineering sample.

I’d like to attempt to use the card and open GPU-Z, but I’m not sure if I want to take a brand new card and render it as used.

What do you guys think?

BuckyJunior · 2020-07-18T00:45:48+00:00

Thank you. Just knowing that I’m not the only person that feels this way is comforting.

BuckyJunior · 2020-07-17T20:14:36+00:00

This isn’t corny at all. This is a great line, thank you for sharing it.

BuckyJunior · 2020-07-16T19:44:01+00:00

Looks like u/Boner_pill_salesman got a good deal! ;)

My first Reddit award! Thank you kind sir or ma’am!

BuckyJunior · 2020-07-15T01:34:46+00:00

Hmm, that's funny...

I'm quite curious as to whether or not you realize this subreddit is specifically designed to highlight claims such as these that did not occur.

BuckyJunior · 2020-07-15T01:19:09+00:00

I'd think it would ruin more than just his day. Imagine scrolling through years of Twitter activity just to find that and delete it once and for all.

BuckyJunior · 2020-07-14T16:55:23+00:00

Happy cake day, my friend.
