Im still a mix, my personal rig is all AMD. My work is Intel+Nvidia due to software requirements. The only real positive with Nvidia is that outside of the 4090 they are ahead of AMD on power right now.
I noticed that a lot of software requires Nvidia for things to be optimal.
Yeah, Cuda has the first to market advantage and Nvidia has really invested in the dev tools for it. I just picked up an AMD MI25 so I can play with Stable Diffusion in my lab. 16gb of HBM for $75 yes please :)
Yeah, I remember seeing that Nvidia was better for Stable Diffusion. Is that still true? I see you went AMD for it.

Mostly just due to its perf/cost and RAM. Yes Nvidia is better, but if you want to mess around the MI25 is about the cheapest way you can and get 16gb which is more or less the minimum. Nvidia would be faster and probably less power, but god its hard to find anything with 16gb for under $100 used.
Awesome, thanks!
I'm also all AMD. Mostly due to price. It's been great.
Not sure why Linus was recording from a bathroom with airpods but I thought this was a great video and a nice new "format" for them. Some good humour, good co-hosting, loved Adam as Nvidia in the background.
Also great use of Labs as both a "set" and to show how little Nvidia cares about its gamer brand right now.
There was subtext that said his flight was delayed for recording. Not sure where he was.
