You should try working with their CUDA tool chains. Good. Lord.
Comment on Jensen Huang says even free AI chips from his competitors can't beat Nvidia's GPUs

I’m free to choose any laptop I want for work. This means, that for me, the GPU and other processors are free. It turns out that I still avoid Nvidia like the plague. I don’t care if it is free, if the drivers are horrible.

I still won’t consider an AMD GPU because all 3 I’ve had throughout my life have had horrible driver experiences. Even the FirePro I had at work at one point required a special driver build that AMD eventually gave me to work even half decent. Never had any major issues with NVidia drivers.

I’ve had the opposite experience here on GNU/Linux. The AMD drivers are phenomenal.

And AMD or Intel are better? Everyone complains about the drivers.
snaggen@programming.dev 8 months ago
For Linux it is a huge difference. AMD and Intel have great open source drivers, while Nvidia have binary drivers with a lot of issues.

I find this strange, because I had nothing but trouble getting my R9 390 working with any Linux distro, but my RTX 3060 hasn’t given me a single issue on like 6 different distros.

Are you talking about a laptop or a desktop? If desktop, using offload or something like that?

And for AI at home? Since this is a story about AI DataCenters
I want to get an AMD but the integration of Nvidia GPUs for processing ML/AI stuff is much higher. So if I want to mess with running AI at home I only have 1 choice.
I hope AMD release something that competes on that front, and can still play games on the weekend, but currently, he is right there is no competition

I run AI stuff just fine on my AMD GPU using HIP. At least LLMs and Stable Diffusion work perfectly fine but that’s the only things I’ve tested.
