AMD Radeon GPU

“Deep down in some hardware is firmware I do not control, such as on the inside of my AMD GPUs.”

“found AND worked out of the box on day one multiple times now”

“AMD or Intel, who's GPUs literally do just work on any distro with no fuss”

“AMD is the only serious option on Linux. Not perfect, but far better than Nvidia, thanks to their open drivers”

“Their open-source philosophy and Linux compatibility, including a clean core distribution”

“the compatibility matrices and bugs and just general lacking software support for ML on their hardware makes it a total non-starter”

“they have had better support in the Linux kernel than NVIDIA”

“AMD's utter incompetence when it comes to the software side of things is truly, truly baffling to me.”

“Having a machine where I don't live in fear after every reboot is a killer feature for AMD”

“I can now run Sid without issue and upgrade my Kernel whenever I want to”

“both the AMD and Intel GPUs allow the user to choose between correct behavior and incorrect behavior”

“If you want a GPU that has comparable performance on Linux to Windows- you want AMD.”

“AMD is definitely night and day in terms of meeting the free software ecosystem properly”

“I would only buy AMD cards now due to the more integral support with Linux gaming”

“AMD has provided great support for far longer”

“That AMD works well on Linux only sweetened the deal.”

“AMD is the better choice due to support from Valve”

“AMD beats it out soundly on both cost and performance”

“AMD does a lot of work to ensure their support for Linux is first-class.”

“The final holdout, HDMI 2.1 support being blocked by the HDMI group, has been overcome”

“After a long gaming session, I usually get a GPU reset (AMD). I suspect a hardware malfunction.”

“those have had issues like video playback making the entire ui framerate drop”

“There are better learning resources and a better ecosystem available around Nvidia cards & software (cuda).”

“AMD did nothing about providing a software ecosystem, which amount to its hardware wasn't realistically usable”

“crippling firmware bugs that they didn't seem interested in getting a handle on”

“Developer tooling / experience appears to be something AMD does not understand, for some reason.”

“tried multiple times to do real AI work and given up every time with the AMD stack”

“AMD leaving a trillion dollars on the table because they can't compete with CUDA software APIs”

“It's half the price for nearly competitive performance and VRAM.”

“Similar support for my previous (desktop) AMD GPU generally worked fine.”

“I have been going all AMD due to their strong Linux support”

“AMD just makes sense, because they're already supported by most AI software the way Nvidia is”

“AMD GPUs just worked due to `amdgpu` being part of the kernel since forever”

“went with AMD just around a month ago, zero issues.”

“never had graphics related issues after an update”

“I just got a Radeon for $250 that runs circles around it”

“works and is 90% the perf/$ wins over "fastest brick"”

“They have the hardware but can’t manage to unlock its full potential due to them not knowing how to write firmware that does.”

“Switching from an Nvidia card to an AMD one I am now able to upgrade my kernel whenever without getting a blinking cursor after reboot.”

“It's insane to me that AMD is not spending billions and billions trying to fix their software.”
