OpenCL is slowly being supported by some of the main deep learning packages. The annoying part of Nvidia's GPUs are drivers and closed souce CUDA. Their CuDNN extension is a proprietary blob (with bugs) that boost up perfs but remains out of touch from scientists and developers. My hunch is that OpenCL will become the standard for deep learning, thus opening up to a larger set of hardware options.
