I’m looking to buy a new GPU. My main use case will be training and running neural nets (tensorflow+pytorch); gaming isn’t really a priority.
Thing is, I use wayland (via sway), and so I’d really prefer to get an AMD GPU. Nvidia doesn’t seem very linux friendly at the moment, especially when it comes to wayland unfortunately.
On the other hand, Nvidia seems to be the clear frontrunner right now when it comes to NN acceleration. I’m worried that if I got an AMD GPU to accelerate my NN work, I’d just be wasting my money.
What do you all think?
Edit: I’ve used GPUs to accelerate NN models in the past, but they weren’t my own, they were provided by my uni’s research infra and/or google collab. So this would be the first time I’d be using my own GPU hardware for this purpose.
Damn, that’s a shame. I see he wrote about the messy state of the AMD drivers here, with a link out to the rant video I presume you’re referring to. I’ll take a look later, thanks.
