so my old GPU died a few days ago and I was thinking which brand of GPU to get next. AMD or Nvidia? I’ve heard Nvidia drivers are very annoying with Linux but I’ve never had an AMD GPU before. Which would be better? I’ll sometimee switch to Windows to play specific games as well.
I use PyTorch daily at work and I’m happy to have gone AMD. Initial support for last gen was lacking but it’s there now. It mostly works , the performance is great but it crashes on some unusual tasks.
Yes, it is worth differentiating between writing AI yourself and trying to get some giant open source project to work where you have no idea why it fails.
Your comment is appreciated, because everyone has to decide for themselves if “it crashes on some unusual tasks.” is worth the performance or VRAM increase you can get with AMD.
Quick update to let you know that it works on all my tasks with ROCm 5.7
