> Choose your video card wisely, AMD does some things better than NVIDIA depending on what software you're running. Deep learning toolkits basically have two modes of operation: the CPU way, and the proprietary NVIDIA way. There is no point to putting an AMD chip in a machine you hope to use for deep learning. Some toolkits may go through the motions of supporting AMD via OpenCL, but that's not going to be the case that they make sure works well, or works at all. This is a problem, as NVIDIA is awful at maintaining drivers, results are being published based on "well, my NVIDIA black box decided to do this", and it contributes to deep learning veering toward a local maximum. But specifically choosing to do deep learning with an AMD chip is a pointless sacrifice.
