AMD hardware is amazing. AMD software needs catching up to do. It's pretty amazing how Nvidia's strategy of making compute tools available on most consumer grade cards is paying off latent dividends -- consumers learn on their own hw and become developers/researchers using same stack, something AMD needs to realize. The result is Nvidia is a trillion dollar company and AMD only 1/5 of that.

> AMD hardware is amazing

How did you reach the conclusion? In almost all the metric, AMD is just 20-30% ahead or wildly behind. e.g. AMD is so much behind in tensor cores in consumer grade GPU or raytracing.

I'm just saying AMD hardware is (namely their compute line of cards). Nvidia has great scientists in light transport research and it shows in their Real-time ray tracers.

Did you read his post?

Software isn't catching up. For most AMD GPU owners, the software quality is getting worse over time.
