TF2 Bandwidth Usage

For having 20 players in at one point, we only peaked at 1.5 Mbit outbound, a lot less than I expected. I don't know for sure if that's due to a QOS cap that kicked in at 1.5 or not, but even so, you can see the average was closer to 1 Mbit of traffic.

Inbound traffic hovered around 0.5 Mbit while gaming, but spiked to 8.2 Mbit when I was installing TF2 :-)

Goodbye, ATI

From Bloomberg Businessweek:

Advanced Micro Devices on Monday said it will remove the ATI name from its products by the end of the year, killing a brand name synonymous with graphics enthusiasts for 25 years.

AMD offers a range of graphics products under the ATI brand, including the Radeon, FirePro and Eyefinity offerings. The chip designer will instead attach the name AMD to those products by the end of the year, said Drew Erskine, an AMD spokesman.

The change in brand name won't affect the company's graphics product offerings or plans, Erskine said.
