traded the dead GPU for a 5960X and an X99 board the board turned out to somehow be brand new in box with all the accessories I am losing my shit rn

i've been doing an exercise recently where i just try drawing without stopping for more than five seconds at a time, like just drawing Something and moving on to the next thing, and i am really feeling how important that skill is and how warped my priorities have gotten from losing touch with it

A wrong lesson to take from the Brazilian elections is that voting can defeat fascism. That's not true at all. Democracy is an incredibly frail system and the US almost took over the country through it. ORGANIZED PEOPLE DEFEATED FASCISM

It's another day, so let's talk about this. First of all, Lula didn't win the election alone. He won because more than half of the country FREAKED THE FUCK OUT and built a popular movement that organized several actions both irl and online.

took over station square yesterday. had a lot of evil plans but im noticing the infrastructure of this place is in desperate need of service. the train to the mystic ruins hasnt been serviced in over 6 months. thats a fucking disaster waiting to happen. and the potholes! god almighty.

bad news. it cooked half of itself. :xenia_cry:

considering how powerful just using even half the GPU is for a device from 2014, this thing must've been a MONSTER when it actually had Crossfire support in programs. can't imagine! gonna have to build an older system for it and try it out sometime.

Nice argument, but I have drawn myself as the smug Naga the White Serpent and you as the frazzled and angrily befuddled Lina Inverse.

alright I've got it all hooked up. I'm a little bit afraid of this GPU I can't lie but that must mean I'm doing it right.

oh wow it can run Voices of The Void shockingly well on a single 290X. only thing I changed from my 5700XT is view distance and it holds fine otherwise. #Radeon-R9-295X2 #Voices-of-The-Void

hey so yea does anyone know how to force vulkan to expose specific GPUs to software when both GPUs have identical vendor/device ids, because unless there's an unstated bit of syntax it seems like whoever made implicit layers didn't consider the possibility of choosing between two identical GPUs

poor decisions have occurred. #Radeon-R9-295X2

it works. there is zero chance it can function like it was designed to because of lack of modern driver support for crossfire but omfg dual GPU on a card hahaha! #Radeon-R9-295X2

testing with Elite Dangerous rn ig since I got dragged into it again by friends. I think this arch needs time to process the shaders or smth before they stop being stuttery? we'll see, but considering I came from the settings tuned for my RX 5700XT, and that it's only using one of the two GPUs,[...]

I saw an R9 295X2 GPU at a local parts store near me the other day and can't lie I have been drooling over it for a bit now...I have an FX 8350 and mainboard I got for free a couple months ago and it'd pair so well to make a monstrosity ehehe.......

this is by far the nicest GPU I've ever touched I think, considering the original retail of it in 2014 was like. $1500. it feels incredibly seriously built. also scarily heavy. I'm gonna have to do the classic dual PSU setup to test this. #Radeon-R9-295X2

was checking old CPU benchmarks and wowww piledriver CPUs were AWFUL. the highest end one was clocked to hit 5ghz and was STILL BEATEN by Intel offerings of the era at way lower clocks. I adore these space heaters with a CPU attached to them they're so silly.
