I took a chance on a pair of these a year ago.Would not work with my Sam440ep-flex and my Sam460ex was broken. Once My Sam460ex was replaced months later I was happy to find out that the cards worked.
I put them in storage and used a HD6670 on the Sam460ex as I expected to see Wardp3d support for the HD6670 first.So I was happy at the Warp3d-SI announcement.:)

Yeah, I bought and downloaded the Warp3D to go with the updated RadeonHD drivers a while back, but could not find the time to locate a single slot Radeon board that had the correct chip set (http://hdrlab.org.nz/projects/amiga-os-4-projects/radeonhd-driver/radeonhd-driver-hardware-compatibility/).

Finally I just ordered one on the list (VisionTek 7750) for an average price, received it today, plugged it in and booted my A1 X1000 into OS4.1 FE; as is not typical, I did nothing more and fired up QuakeII in miniGL mode and BOOM!  Which is to say it worked beautifully.  No need for changes in monitor setting, nothing else; it just works "out of the box."  Crazy, right?

Actually for an X1000 or even an A1-500/Sam460ex with the Warps3D-SI driver a RadeonHD 7750 would be considered low end for 3D.When the Warp3D-NI (or whatever it will be called) driver is released then a Radeon HD5450 will be considerd low end for 3D on these machines .

I have a dumb question. If I buy this high end graphics card, for an X1000 Amiga, just what games are supported that make all this worthwhile?
Maybe you can tell I still use Motorola CPUed Amigas.

In Amiga OS 4.1 terms yes.
The Games that work with the older Amiga OS 4.1 machines and Radeon 7000 series and Radeon 9000 series cards and Warp3D now work on the newer machines with the Radeon HD 2D and 3D drivers with the supported Radeon HD SI cards. previously you had to use a Radeon 9200 series pci card in your X1000 for hardware 3D support.The results with the PCI card were not the best .

But, do any games exist to take advantage of it?
