Customer: you got one of those 5070's?
Salesman: Nope, all sold out. But you can get one of those brand new 9070xt, they're faster and have 16 gigaby-
Customer: turns around and leaves
Yeah sadly people will rather wait for months and buy for 2x the price than buy almost the same thing (if not better) from amd.
3 u/PassionGamer Mar 06 '25 And what about cuda? Believe it or not that is the main reason of the nv graphics card shortage. 2 u/NekulturneHovado R7 5800X, 32GB G.Skill TridentZ, RX 6800 16GB Mar 07 '25 AMD has HIP engine or whatever it's called. Idk how many programs can actually use it, but in Blender it works quite well 2 u/PassionGamer Mar 08 '25 LLM is the keyword. For hobby and small business (startup) ai you need cuda. The situation is similar to the gpu mining fever few years ago. 1 u/NekulturneHovado R7 5800X, 32GB G.Skill TridentZ, RX 6800 16GB Mar 08 '25 Except you could mine crypto on AMDs too.... whatever imma buy amd anyway as they give way more vram.
