      AMD’s compute capabilities are fine. CUDA is an artificially restricted API that is not permitted to recompile into anything else.

        Then it’s on AMD to develop a competing API, and ultimately on them for not being competitive enough to develop an alternative alongside the development of CUDA.

        It’s not Nvidia’s fault they developed a better product. And I say this as someone who prefers AMDs products, although I had to get a 3060 for my 3D modeling. I would have loved to go AMD, but I really couldn’t.

          Nvidia turning your own code into an anti-competitive lock-in is absogoddamnlutely their fault. Again: they actively prevent efforts to recompile CUDA into the competing APIs that already exist and work just fine - because they have to maintain their vice-grip on a market they got to first and turned into a weapon.

          I would have loved to go AMD, but I really couldn’t.

          THAT’S WHAT ANTI-COMPETITIVE MEANS.
