I'm building a major open source stack on top of NVidia because of how bad my experience with AMD was.
- I bought a ROCm-supported card. Said so on the box. Paid out-of-pocket. An NVidia vendor had sent me a free card, for comparison.
- It never worked well, and a bit more than month after I bought it, AMD dropped support. Money down the drain.
- AMD itself was a black hole for any sort of contact or support.
I'm pretty sure this was a legal violation, as the card wasn't fit for the advertised purpose, but no one took responsibility, and small claims isn't worth it.
I'm very supportive of open, but there's enough wrong at AMD that I'm not hitching myself to that wagon, probably ever.
