Not enough people running nvidia realize just how much nvidia does to make sure you stick to their proprietary software. That you can close most of the performance gap with FOSS on AMD is an amazing finding.

Unfortunately it won't convince many who haven't already seen the benefits of a more open system.

Not enough people realize how much AMD does to make sure people stick to their proprietary software. Nvidia software that is.

A lack of ROCm support on consumer hardware is simply inexcusable. Nvidia makes a shit ton of money with the AI boom, because people like to work with stuff they already know. And it's infuriating, because Nvidia cards have way less VRAM.
