AMD does the exact same as Nvidia. They're just less successful with it. It doesn't really matter who you buy from in that regard, I think.

    Linux GPU drivers would like to have a word...

    Wake me up when Linux GPU drivers become components you can buy for building a Pc.

    What does that even mean? They are part of the components you buy

    So what do they have to do with a discussion on component prices? Other than the fact people love mentioning Linux on Lemmy of course.

    AMD doesn't gate the high vram to be only their top end model. They have generally higher vram across the board.

    They did but do their latest cards have an option for 24gb like my 7900xtx?

    I like them for Linux support but I don't doubt they would start doing the same crap if they could break CUDAs strangle hold on the ML LLM space

    Whether that's important or not is your choice as a consumer. If you use Blender for example, Nvidia gives you more bang for your buck. It just works much better with those cards. That's simply what the spread sheets say. If you need slightly higher VRAM for different reasons go for something else.

    But that's completely besides the argument. Whatever you choose doesn't change the fact that neither of those companies gives a shit about us end consumers. They're barely making any money from us compared to AI companies. They're all in on AI.
