Thanks guys! Was a ton of fun sitting down and chatting with you for this!

[lubomirslavov]

gpu prices so high that this guy made his own

[kaalsemulzii]

I mean he demonstrated what Terry A. Davis did with TempleOS. One man CAN do things like this. HE IS A MAN OF FOCUS AND SHEER FUCKIN' WILL.

I´m an electrical engineer myself also designing and building boards. It´s very inspiring what the guy did. Thx for the motivation !

[MarioGoatse]

Wait!? So he’s actually running games on this thing? I thought it was going to be a super basic GPU that could technically render but only low resolution images in a very basic engine. I didn’t expect it to be running real games. He’s actually running Quake 2 at 720p? That is incredible. Great work brother. I’m so proud of this guy!

[InnaciKorushka]

So I'm an electrical engineer, and it feels understated what exactly this man has accomplished. You can't simply read a book or watch some youtube vids and tinker to make a gpu from scratch like he did. This is an incredible outcome for a dauntless task. Extraordinary intuition and computational mindset. It's really incredible.

Dude has a big career at AMD, Nvidia, or Intel in the near future. Smart dude.

Edit: looks like he works at Respawn

After doing all the hardware and software design and development…
How do you not register at a university … then write it up, “defend, ” then get a “free” Ph.D. out of this?

Really cool that its a fpga! Fpga's are soo usefull they are litteraly the playground for chip designers and people who like making their own designs of chips and have the ability to erase/patch them without it being burned into the silicon. Fpga's are used to "emulate" old game console hardware for example if its dead or propiertary and are in some game consoles. They are even used in osciloscopes to do the processing and to hold most of the scope logic. Although it depends on what fpga you pick, they can be pretty expensive

I recognise that screenshot.
Descent!
A fantastic game from the mid 90's. I spent a lot of time playing that (with the sound off) when I was supposed to be revising for my GCSEs.

[dankoga]

Nice you showcased a homebrew passion project of one hobbyist. They need all exposure they can get.

[momomaz]

Now were taking about "diy" computer

[MrA]

youtube glitched and all i heard was "he had to install over 4 capacitors" and i was damn that sounds about right

[aetheralmeowstic]

He should add native support for Direct Draw, that'd make it great for RPG Maker games!

[Iedye]

The number of different skillsets and expertise this takes for one person to produce is just astounding and incredibly impressive. Dylan Barrie deserves so much recognition for such an accomplishment.

[bader]

I wish he had opened sourced it, so if there's a company that would carry on his work, they would be obligated to open source their work, too.
That way, he could be an entry point for companies that wish to rival in the GPU industry

[dogwithoutw]

Finally, these guy is getting recognized by bigger media. I hope someday, competition gets so high we come back to 1080 ti times of price to perfomance

[michaelhuss]

I'm a little surprised he didn't take the Intel Larabee approach and use a software rasterizer without the FPGA... he really went above and beyond for this project. Very cool.

[seanplace]

I wonder if this could be a good solution for classic PC gaming. It's pretty easy to find old CPU's, but old video cards are sometimes hard to come by if you're wanting a specific kind. With an FPGA, it could just be a matter of loading the correct configuration file and have the card re-program itself!
