gollark: I've never heard of them shipping with cores *not working*.
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.
