At the current state of things, AMD is definitely not a viable route, but that might change in the future with the "Boltzmann Initiative" [1]. Performance with OpenCL is not comparable with CUDA on NVIDIA GPUs at the moment, and support is lacking in most deep learning frameworks.

Thanks, your statement about performance is very helpful. Basically even if my tech stack supported OpenCL I would still be better of with a CUDA-compatible card.
