I can say that number is at least 1. I enjoy gaming, but I have been fully on Linux for a few years now. My PC builds always need high CPU performance, both multi threaded for compile workloads and single threaded for games, as well as good graphics performance for gaming, especially due to VR games. I am essentially the reverse of your described use case: I want high gaming performance with ML and GPGPU as a bonus.
I like what I am seeing in regards to the new AMD cards vs. my current RTX 3080 for gaming performance. Especially since Nvidia has raised prices to a point I am no longer even begrudgingly willing to pay. But, as I am currently playing around a bit with stable diffusion I am more inclined to stay with CUDA for the time being. However this is a very recent change in interests, so I am not sure whether my priorities will change long term. I am also not planning an upgrade any time soon, so I will wait for new developments on all sides.
- bavell 4y agoSame here, I'm planning to finally upgrade my workstation GPU this gen (I've been coasting along forever with my 970). ML/DL is just a fun side benefit, not enough for me to pay the Nvidia tax and the Linux headaches that come along with it.
- pezezin 4y agoThat makes us at least 3. I run Linux exclusively at home nowadays, and Steam/Proton has been a godsend for games. I don't really care for ML/DL that much, and for Linux AMD GPUs just work so much better. At work we have 20+ workstations running Nvidia on Linux, and they are such a pain in the ass. The idiots at my place don't even consider hardware-software compatibility issues before making the purchases, makes me mad.
