    I never understand why in 2024 you'd buy nvidia, unless you like paying more for less, or buying from scalpers for even more money. I guess some people really just go "More money spent on it, more better" no matter what.

    Need cuda.

    [–] angel@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 8 months ago

    Haven’t tried it, but might be worth looking into: https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA

    Rocm might be worth looking into

    [–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Tell it to the people making the software I use. I'd switch immediately if they would support anything but Cuda and Optix.

    [–] squid_slime@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

    I ran into issues with rocm support it does suck,
    Zluda looked promising but reading news it would seem nvidia is actively trying to ban it

    People just think "gaming?? OH NO I NEED MY NVIDIA!!!!" while AMD is sitting there like "hey. Hey I have a card that'll work. Hey. Card. Right here. Works better in Linux. Less headaches. Hello. Hey person. Card. Hi."

    Only if you consider ray tracing to be a gimmik (which it is) then AMD is the obvious way to go.

    In reality It's because people bought their laptops and their Desktops before switching and want to Use their already existing graphic cards.

    [–] finkrat@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

    This is a very good point, I forgot gaming laptops are almost exclusively nvidia

    [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 8 months ago

    A 1070 is hardly a card anyone would buy in 2024. Maybe they were running Windows before that and didn't care that much.

    Also, hard to believe, but for a long while nVidia actually gave you the better experience on Linux. Before AMD had bought ATI. And probably a good while after the sale. The ATI drivers sucked ass.

    I'd like to buy AMD, but I have all these use cases

    • HDMI 2.1 (4K @ 120Hz) - relevant after recent news, if planning to use open source drivers
    • CUDA + Machine Learning applications
    • DLSS still visually better than FSR
    • Ray Tracing still better on GeForce cards
    [–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

    NVIDIA still have the best performing cards if you care about ray tracing. I honestly think that's the only reason to consider buying NVIDIA but you pay a heck of a premium for that.
