I don't sell anything, but would change these at least because of electricity consumpation - as that alone knows to pay back initial investment
If Michael couldn't get them going it's just too early and there is too much wrong with the CPU/Mobo combination.
On the other hand, having continued support for older hardware like my HD6870 on my work computer is comforting.
It'll all work out in the end unless the 2400G and 2200G are defective, I still want to do a uITX build but not until the frustration index goes down.

The old Core2Duo laptop I have with r600g ATI graphics seems to not render plasma themes on KDE that well. No idea why they look different than what they're meant to. Also Chromium chrome://gpu reports a tonne of issues with the driver not implementing things correctly.
All that aside, the GPU works amazing on the dated hardware and performance is good with no major issues, thanks to all contributors

That being said, for compatibility sake, it would be wise to go fo low to mid-range GCN 1.2+ GPU when/if prices get to normality, and since even HD 4350 is suficient enough for single display workflow with compositing and stuff, HD 6770 is more than sufficient, so there's no need for hurry, just consider it in some not so distant future (paying rent and stuff doesn't help either lol).
Anyway, great news, and year based versioning is more sane and logical for DDX, if ever needed to be updated few times per year, point versions would solve that problem.

Having access to clocks would be nice because perhaps the RAM is set to something low. Otherwise yes it worked.
I could get another GPU, but on "old" desktops like that the more pressing issue is slowly dying hard drives
