Description Reva Denis 2021-03-12 05:19:28 UTC

There are media-libs/amdvlk in GURU: AMD Open Source Driver for Vulkan. A year ago it compiles two hours. For now it takes 4-5 hours on my hardware.

An other side of coin is the videocard which I belong. My Radeon RX 560 2Gb isn't bad when I bought it, but now it's just too weak and can not run modern gaming projects, so I stopped play videogames.

I can not bought new Radeon GPU because I might acquire something like Xbox Series X and buy for change Nintendo Switch for ones price! Radeon RX 5700 costs more than all my PC's plus my server! 

Be cursed miners, be cursed speculators!

It not so trouble if I had descend (at least 400EUR/month) work but I didn't have it. I'm goddamn student who drop out from the Ufa's USATU university because I don't really like it, and I have to pass exams again.

So I had to drop media-libs/amdvlk which I took care of for three years.



Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
I read all again and sounds like I have some kind of depression once more… Or I've just tired.


My specs:
* Intel Core i5 6600k
* 16Gb the cheapest DDR4 memory 
* Radeon RX 560 2Gb
