That is because AMD split graphics vs. compute and you look at a non-compute card. The Vega-based chips work quite well and the Radon VII is (or was, I'm afraid) an excellent value proposition.

So this is well outside my area of expertise; but that seems weird. I want AMD to shepherd the ecosystem to a point where I can run PyTorch with some support from a graphics card. Supporting some graphics cards and not others doesn't sound very promising.

It is amazing to watch how much of a struggle AMD is having with getting PyTorch to work with ROCm. It makes me appreciate what a good job Nvidia must have done with CUDA.

Nvidia has split lines too. But they understand the importance of getting developers on their platform.

(To be fair AMD has it planned, but it's behind several other priorities to them.)

> Vega-based chips work quite well

LOL what a fucking joke. Not even close.

Also that one VFIO bug makes one of the great advantages of Radeon disappear and there is no fix in sight.

Fuck AMD. Bunch of marketing hype and they ship garbage half baked crap to the market.
