Which GPUs to Get for Deep Learning

Why I did not mention AMD cards: NVIDIA's standard libraries made it very easy to establish the first deep learning libraries in CUDA, while there are no such powerful standard libraries for AMD's OpenCL. Right now, there are just no deep learning libraries for AMD cards -- so you just cannot use AMD cards for deep learning.

i feel that you should have at least mentioned it, otherwise it feels like the article implicitly asserts that only NVIDIA GPUs exist, or perhaps even that you are some way not impartial (partial..? that sounds strange).

Thanks for your feedback. I updated the blog post with a small NVIDIA vs. AMD section.

That and Nvidia's OpenCL implementation is almost the bare minimum you can do to say you have one (unless things have changed significantly within the past year or so). Improvements to OpenCL libraries are unlikely to come from anyone already locked into using their hardware.

Sounds like an opportunity for someone.
