This. What’s the point in an external GPU you can’t even use for deep learning. Why do apple get nVidia so much anyway?

  ... everything else people use GPUs for? There are other use cases :).

    Most scientific use cases need CUDA, not just DL ;) Also it is arguable that nvidia high-end GPUs is the best in terms of gaming performance.

      There are other reasons to pick AMD. Better Linux drivers. Business practices that I'm more comfortable supporting (they tend to be more open, e.g. non-proprietary, free to use FreeSync vs proprietary G-Sync). Stuff like that. I'll take a small performance hit for that.

      Most users don't buy high-end GPUs, and it's not like the high-end AMD GPUs are potatoes either. Plus don't forget about price.
