I can't use AMD

Can we stop using the Steven Crowder meme already. The guy is a total chode.

Oh please. There are better templates than this stupid Nazi cunt. I really don't want to see this fuckface.

I thought NixOS was the new Arch btw

At least the Arch people are not shilling for some corp.

Steven Crowder is a despicable human and does not deserve a meme template.

I run Stable Diffusion with ROCm. Who needs CUDA?

Earlier in my career, I compiled tensorflow with CUDA/cuDNN (NVIDIA) in one container and then in another machine and container compiled with ROCm (AMD) for cancerous tissue detection in computer vision tasks. GPU acceleration in training the model was significantly more performant with NVIDIA libraries.

It's not like you can't train deep neural networks without NVIDIA, but their deep learning libraries combined with tensor cores in Turing-era GPUs and later make things much faster.

Brother of "I need nVidia for raytracing" while only playing last decade games.

I'm holding out building a new gaming rig until AMD sorts out better ray-tracing and cuda support. I'm playing on a Deck now so I have plenty of time to work through my old backlog.

Mb zluda also works

Rocm is the AMD version

last I heard AMD is working on CUDA working on their GPUs and I saw a post saying it was pretty complete by now (although I myself don't keep up with that sort of stuff)

I need NVDA for the gainz

Edit: btw Raspberry PI is doing an IPO later this year, bullish on AMD

If anything AMD (for ML) is the hardware "I use [x] btw" (as in I go through unnecessary pain for purism or to one up my own superiority complex)

My only regret for picking team red is that DaVinci Resolve doesn’t support hardware encoding.

Man I just built a new rig last November and went with nvidia specifically to run some niche scientific computing software that only targets CUDA. It took a bit of effort to get it to play nice, but it at least runs pretty well. Unfortunately, now I'm trying to update to KDE6 and play games and boy howdy are there graphics glitches. I really wish HPC academics would ditch CUDA for GPU acceleration, and maybe ifort + mkl while they're at it.

Stable Diffusion works on Radeon 7900XTX on Ubuntu.

I do actually need nvidia for blender since AMD raytracing support is still a work in progress for it.

As soon as it's stable, works on linux, and a mid-range AMD card performs as well as my 3060 though I'm absolutely jumping to AMD.

No it's not

Back in my day, the AMD drivers were the janky ones...

3D rendering with optix. I don't do AI nonsense other than chatgpt for the occasional shell script or python function.

Yes. Haha. Amusing. But really....Blender, Davinci Resolve, and a host of others. It's not a hobby, it's quite literally a (albeit small) portion of my income.

And it has nothing to do with anime nudes.

Anime/waifu is literally for pedos wanting a loophole. Sorry, not sorry.
