Lol, no, I work for a Norwegian university. And yes, it is for a work computer, but as I've been working from home for the past two years, it has naturally been located there. For the work I do, there isn't much of a difference between a personal and work computer, given that my work is studying video games. It's the kind of job that is simultaneously fantastic - part of my job is literally playing games! - and horrible - playing games is now work, and far less enjoyable. And it's not the type of work that's easily confined to regular working hours, meaning it would be extremely detrimental to my work if that GPU was kept at an away-from-home office.

... so, maybe rather than trying some meaningless "gotcha" for something you know jack-shit about, maybe keep it to yourself the next time around?
Not really as research grants are the money of the taxpayer and you spent it on a 6900 XT.

... I spent it on necessary equipment for conducting the research I am doing. And who the F are you to question the validity of this? Seriously? Please take your self-righteous bullshit somewhere else. You know literally nothing about what this situation entails, so please, stop making yourself look like an ass.

I have the right to be pissed if it was the swedish taxpayer who paid for your 6900 XT but if it was the norwegian taxpayer then that's cool and that oil rich country could probably afford it.

I have a 6900xt XFX Merc 319 and no problem so far! Chosen this one because of the lights where you can read the RADEON RX 6900 XT XFX

I would never buy it because of the stupid branding "Merc 319". I don't like Merc, and I don't like this particular number. Finds it ridiculous and nonsense.

... so I guess it's cool that you feel qualified to judge what equipment is necessary for a research project without knowing anything about it - that must be a great and highly useful skill to have! Seriously, dude, please stop deluding yourself. You're just making yourself look incredibly silly.

Hey, for once we agree on something! :D
