This will more than likely lower the price of the AMD cards... Cuda translated on AMD is faster than HIP ROCm on AMD.....

Which is pathetic at best for AMD and HIP ROCm.....

AMD scrapped Brook GPUPU compute when they bought ATI.... Many people forget that little fact.....

Brook is now Cuda, same guy runs the program that started it, still works for Nvidia after AMD canned it when he was at Stanford.... Wise choice, wasn't it.....

AMD has terrible market saturation, and they have nothing to compete with Cuda or Optix. Nothing, not even price per compute....

Market saturation of HIP ROCm in desktop programs, is dismal, at best.... Yes, it is in Blender. AMD paid them to put it in there....

Yeah, the AMD gpus are seen to be cheaper, etc. But they are also a very small part of the market share for a reason.

You don't need a 4090 to see crazy fast speeds in Nvidia compute, and AMD doesn't make a desktop card that can even compete with it..

You don't need a 4090 to get preview renders in seconds, Blender live preview on a 4k monitor in cycles, etc, either.

I can do final renders very quickly on a 4070ti. And I get more fps in any game I have than the monitor can display at 4k. Modded Cyberpunk runs fine, at 4k....

A 4070ti is about the same price as a 7900XTX, about the same speed, so why should it be cheaper? Oh wait, the Nvidia card was cheaper when I bought my 4070ti....

If you compare speeds of cards between AMD and Nvidia, the are comparably priced based on compute speed.

But you cant compare a 4090 to and AMD card, simply because AMD doesn't make one that can compete with a 4070ti super, 4080, 4080 super or a 4090 in compute speed.

People compare the 7900XTX to the 4090, asking why the 4090 costs so much more. And don't have a clue how much faster the 4090 actually is than a 7900XTX, not a clue....

If you want an AMD GPU, by all means buy one... Just remember that in compute, many times the Nvidia card is cheaper per compute.....

Stop using gaming benchmarks to justify compute prices, when you want it for compute..

The $800 AMD card and the $800 dollar Nvidia card are about the same speed in compute overall. Until you render in Optix, then the AMD gets destroyed....
