I know Intel is dipping its toe into the GPU market, but let’s be real, AMD and nVidia are the only options and have been for the last 20+ years. The manufacturers/assemblers of the complete graphics cards are varied and widespread, but the core tech comes from two companies only.

Why is this the case? Or am I mistaken and am just brainwashed by marketing, and there are in fact other viable options for GPUs?

Cheers!

      AMD gpus are inside in Xbox and ps5, without taking into account the handhelds like steam deck.

      For the ML is usually better to use amd cards because they use to have more vram, and many many models can be trained using amd.

      And about the transcoding comment I will bother myself ait it.

      In summary, tells me you don’t have any clue without telling me you don’t have any clue

        AMD cards are not really better than Nvidia cards at anything. That’s not being a “shill”, it’s just the truth. They’re cheaper and easier to find in stock, that’s about it.

          AMD are not better than Nvidia -> sure

          I prefer Nvidia than AMD for everything -> perfect, it is your opinion and a respetable one

          With AMD you can not do AAA gaming, ML or just transcoding -> a lie, simply, nothing more to add

          And I will ignore the sentence about AMD not being a serious company because it is too absurd to discuss
