VR has been a revelation for me when it comes to simulation games. DCS World, Project Cars 2, iRacing. All elevated by the depth perception and presence in VR.

I think the only millennial being triggered here is the strawman he created.

The T7500 is a CAD workstation and should have enough power supply for SLI. Add big video card of your choice and install video games?

Is this finally the year when I replace my 7950?

It sounds like you need an NZXT grid like I have: https://www.nzxt.com/products/grid-plus-v2

I'm glad I didn't sink hundreds of dollars into this like a lot of my whale friends did.

If Zen is faster than a 2500K @ 4.4 GHz, I might consider upgrading to get on a more modern featureset.

D'oh! Name recycling got me there.

No, the Yamato was built in Kure, Hiroshima. Some of the UK-built battleships like Kongo and Fuso were basically rebuilt and upgraded in Japan. The US had built a few cruisers for Japan pre-WW1, but they had all been scrapped by the time WW2 started.

He's talking about using a cable like this where one power supply connector has 2x PCIe connectors at the video card end. It should work just fine.

Yeah, this probably isn't going to run too well on my 7950.

While that's often the case with various drivers, the Intel driver will give the same error on a clean install. I believe the installer looks at something in the BIOS.

As you've found out, the Intel version of the driver doesn't normally allow you to install their version. You'll need to download the zip version of the driver, and use device manager to manually install from wherever you unzip it.

This should be relatively simple to remedy. 0x7Es usually call out the offending driver. You could use something like bluescreenview to interpret the crash dump files and identify what driver is causing the issue.

Yeah, I'm not giving up my 7950 just yet.
