They were at some point but they're better than NVidia now for normal desktop etc use at least on Linux. They went open source and upstreamed the drivers, like Intel.
On the GPGPU stack front it may be different but CUDA is also really low level and abstracted away by ML stacks. And some of them also had OpenCL / SYCL backends at one point, I wonder what's the story there.
- mikepavone 3y agoUnfortunately, the ROCm stack seems to use a fair bit of separate kernel code and it's not nearly as stable in my experience. I have a 5700 XT (not officially supported by ROCm, but close enough to some other cards that some have had success). It's perfectly stable for demanding games, but just straightforward DMA is enough to cause GPU hangs with ROCm for some reason.
