Still more reliable than Wayland on nvidia.

This looks more like the boards they used in the 60s and 70s in prototyping. I have done such a board myself in my youth. All 40xx and 74LSxx DIL chips and a plain dot board. And a sh-tload of patching wire where I had to remove the isolation paint before I could solder that stuff.
I don't think you could build a working GPU with that wirewrap technology, the frequncies needed are simply to high.
25 0 ReplyIf it's open, looks don't matter. Also doesn't matter if the drivers are trash, or if it runs zero games. It's all fixable trash - that's the point.
(Also, that's not a GPU, but it's the thought that counts)

It looks like a wire wrapped prototype board of some kind, impossible to tell the purpose from that photo alone though.

some pci-e device. but the main chips are probably on the other side of the board.

Is there more info about this? I could only find Chinese forums like https://m-weibo-cn.translate.goog/status/OdaBMza1L?from=page_1005052963774131_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime&jumpfrom=weibocom
The chips (basic TTL logic, perhaps) are all DIP. This may predate the term "open source".
