gollark: What?

gollark: Yes, there is (I don't think it's fully reliable though), but they shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

gollark: They literally added code to their drivers to make consumer cards' drivers not function in VMs, so that people would have to buy more expensive cards for no good reason.

gollark: Well, thanks to AMD being less evil, on Linux the drivers are just built into the kernel or something and work with basically no hassle.

gollark: Nvidia's drivers are worse. They try and push you into this "GeForce Experience" thing or something, work poorly on Linux, and deliberately don't work in VMs because Nvidia is Nvidia.
