Well that and CUDA still means a load of professionals in various fields are stuck using Nvidia whether they like it or not. This means data centers are incentivised to go with Nvidia if they want those customers, which ultimately means if someone gonna work on code/tools that run in those data centers, you want the same architecture on your local machine for development and testing.

It's getting better, but the gap is still real. Hopefully the guys that are working on SCALE can actually get it working on the CDNA GPUs one day, since data centers are where a lot of the CUDA is running or perhaps the UDNA stuff AMD just announced will enable this.

The fact this is all hinging on the third party that develops SCALE, should highlight that AMD still doesn't seem to be playing the same game as Nvidia, which is why we're still in this position.

Definitely. CUDA has had a long headstart, and Nvidia were very clever in getting it entrenched early on, particularly in universities and such. It's also just... generally does the job.

My above comment was purely on the gaming side

Wait, didn't Zluda legally become a thing?
