    I’d like to buy AMD, but I have all these use cases

    • HDMI 2.1 (4K @ 120Hz) - relevant after recent news, if planning to use open source drivers
    • CUDA + Machine Learning applications
    • DLSS still visually better than FSR
    • Ray Tracing still better on GeForce cards

      CUDA + Machine Learning applications

      AMD has HIP or Rocm, which unlike CUDA is free software. Any program that uses proprietary CUDA libraries is proprietary.

      • Possibly linux

        Well yes and no. There is proprietary software that uses CUDA but there also is other AI software that optionally uses CUDA. Usually there is a free software built version

      I think the first one can be circumvented by just using a DP->HDMI adapter. But yeah, those other points are why I’m a bit hesitant about swapping to AMD myself.
