Nvidia will stop price gouging you for their cards and features when you stop buying them. (lemmy.one)

Sorry if I'm not the first to bring this up. It seems like a simple enough solution.

AMD has ROCm which tries to get close. I've been able to get some CUDA applications running on a 6700xt, although they are noticeably slower than running on a comparable NVidia card. Maybe we'll see more projects adding native ROCm support now that AMD is trying to cater to the enterprise market.

They kinda have that, yes. But it was not supported on windows until this year and is in general not officially supported on consumer graphics cards.

Still hoping it will improve, because AMD ships with more VRAM at the same price point, but ROCm feels kinda half assed when looking at the official support investment by AMD.

I don't own any nvidia hardware out of principal, but ROCm is no where even close to cuda as far as mindshare goes. At this point I rather just have a cuda->rocm shim I can use, in the same was as directx->vulkan does with proton. Trying to fight for mindshare sucks, so trying to get every dev to support it just feel like a massive uphill battle.
