I never understand why in 2024 you’d buy nvidia, unless you like paying more for less, or buying from scalpers for even more money. I guess some people really just go “More money spent on it, more better” no matter what.
People just think “gaming?? OH NO I NEED MY NVIDIA!!!” while AMD is sitting there like “hey. Hey I have a card that’ll work. Hey. Card. Right here. Works better in Linux. Less headaches. Hello. Hey person. Card. Hi.”
NVIDIA still have the best performing cards if you care about ray tracing. I honestly think that’s the only reason to consider buying NVIDIA but you pay a heck of a premium for that.

Only if you consider ray tracing to be a gimmik (which it is) then AMD is the obvious way to go.
In reality It’s because people bought their laptops and their Desktops before switching and want to Use their already existing graphic cards.
This is a very good point, I forgot gaming laptops are almost exclusively nvidia

I’d like to buy AMD, but I have all these use cases
Need cuda.
Rocm might be worth looking into
Tell it to the people making the software I use. I’d switch immediately if they would support anything but Cuda and Optix.
I ran into issues with rocm support it does suck,
Zluda looked promising but reading news it would seem nvidia is actively trying to ban it
