What am I looking at?

ogeist ,

A free and open source GPU compiled by hands

geography082 ,

The free and open source comes with the fact it was hand made ? I don’t get it

TrickDacy ,

I don't get it either

Would assume that in this case that the gpu was created and assempled using a open blueprint/schematic thats freely available for anyone to see use and modify. Fairly common thing when it comes to stuff like 3d printing where many people freely share their models for others to use.

ogeist ,

The joke is in the eye of the beholder, for me it's funny because you have the buzzwords "free and open source" which means you can implement it however you want and the user here decided "fuck it, I will do it by hand".

shalva97 OP ,

I don't know, maybe it's not even a GPU

Pogogunner ,

Looks like an ISA card to me - might be RAM, but I'm not confident at all

ogeist ,

Serious response I agree with Pogo, it looks like a handmade RAM.

JustZ ,

Did you see the pic of the front?

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

Dudewitbow ,

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

What's its name

aka FTX (F for Fire and to pay respects)

Why does this look like when i first iterate a pcb and need to bodge the hell out of it to make it work.

TWeaK ,

Can it play Crysis?

Only gamers will get that joke

It certainly can cause crisis

rtxn ,

Still more reliable than Wayland on nvidia.

PowerCore7 ,

Judging by the craiglist watermark on the bottom right, it's probably just a meme listing.

shalva97 OP ,

I have stolen it from Chinese website

Typical spaghetti code

fluxion ,

-O2 from the looks of it

RacoonVegetable ,

Me when I forget about FPGAs

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

And the fact that more-than-0-layer PCBs exist

Messy cabling. Pull them out.

Socks outside vs inside

JustZ ,

Wow even looks like a GPU.

What is it?

also doubles as an electrical fire generator, very versatile

cmnybo ,

If you are worried about that, then don't look behind the panel on any computers with a wire wrapped backplane.

papertowels ,

The design is very human

Dedication to wire this up manually is amazing.

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

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".

FooBarrington ,

You switched two wires.

Treczoks ,

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.
