AMD's rather old Radeon VII can really smash a 2080 Ti if you're doing relatively simple streaming computation, like say video processing. That 1TB/s HBM is no joke, and there's 16GB of it, at ~half the price of the 2080 Ti with 11GB.

The Radeon VII is also pretty fast in training transformer networks. In some models that I trained, it was only ~25% slower than our Quadro RTX 5000s.

On Tensorflow ROC (or whatever the name is?)

Yes, I used Tensorflow from AMD's ROCm repositories. However, the performance difference compared to upstream Tensorflow was not very large anymore.
