Warp3D work is for 5000 and 6000 at the moment.  4000 series cards are really difficult to obtain so the priority is getting it running on the later models- a very challenging experience so far.

Are they? There seems to be plenty of HD 4000 series cards on eBay.

When there's limited resources available and you can't do everything, then sometimes difficult decisions need to be made. I personally think that focusing on the 5xxx/6xxx series was the right decision.

That's perfectly understandable, and I agree with you.

They had to choose one GPU series, and it would be unrealistic to expect Amiga dealers to scrounge around on ebay for supported cards to deliver to their customers.

The discussion was about providing support for the existing userbase with Radeon HD 4000 cards, and not about dealers offering HD 4000 cards.

it is. less understandable is when the public is left in the dark about all development facts, except when someone finally complains, which is then an opportunity for some sudden and unexpected statement, like that the project has not actually been abandoned, and is very close to completion, which is usually followed by further years of silence and patient waiting.

I was only referring to the lack of development resources being a valid explanation of why HD 4000 series cards aren't going to be supported vs. the supposed unattainability of these cards by the driver developers. I get why the users are upset about the situation, which is why I decided to comment on it in the first place.

When someone pays for overpriced systems at least is necessary a good service.

I don't know what have got into me, when I replied to this thread. I should have known that my words will be twisted into the exact opposite of what I've said. I can't really blame anyone for getting caught in the crossfire. :hammer:
