GPUs are used in Machine Learning to train Neural Networks. Everyone in the AI field uses NVidia GPUs. Also NVidia uses special machine learning cores in the GPU, Tensor cores, to accelerate Ray Tracing and DLSS. AMD does not have these type of chips on their GPU that’s why ray tracing performance on AMD cards is significantly slower.
