Unpopular opinion but NVIDIA is not overpriced when you consider the fact that it's the only product that actually works.
I've also been burned so many times by AMD GPUs that I have more faith in Intel catching up in the ML space than AMD.
Would love to be wrong though.
- dlivingston 3y agoWould you mind commenting on how you've been burned by AMD GPUs in the past?
- bick_nyers 3y agoIn DDR3 era heat, drivers, crashes (lots of crashes) during gaming. In DDR4 era heat, drivers during game dev (substance painter, UE4 etc.). Lots of finicking with the card/drivers/software. On my home NAS (Ubuntu for longest time, now Kubuntu) I've had more random issues with my RX 580 than my 3060, I know it's not the most fair comparison due to their age but still.
- taeric 3y agoFor me, it was buying a graphics card that was endorsed by Intel that turned out to not support any of the advanced graphics that were happening at the time. I was less than happy. I think Matrox, back in the day, was also a bit of a disappointment. Supposedly they supported standards and were going to be amazing. Reality is they were not amazing.
- Hamuko 3y agoI've received two broken AMD cards in the last 30 days. It's also the very literal definition of "burned", as they're consistently hitting >110°C hot spot in minutes. The RMA process is also god awful and the software isn't that good. It feels like there's actually no other option than Nvidia.
