    2. Oasis Driver: my deep dive using the Reverb G2
    3. An honest thank you to Mbucchia. I know AMD is not particually loved or cared for, for some. But your grit got my G2 working again and its happily humming along on my 7900XTX, finally getting it off the dust shelf. I'd buy you a beer if i could.
