Okay, but AMD isn't accelerated. It's godawful slow for anything to do with video, and really you just need an NVidia card if you're doing anything to do with video editing or motion graphics.

The built-in amdgpu drivers are awful, constantly crashy and with very poor hardware support of anything more than a couple of years old.

This is a bewildering assertion.

It doesn't have CUDA beacuse that's NVidia-only and it doesn't have OpenCL unless you use the binary-only drivers, which only work on a handful of very new cards.

What good is it?

You can't use it for editing video.

Well, duh.

> unless you use the binary-only drivers

Which you also have to do with nvidia cards.

> which only work on a handful of very new cards

So get a new card?

> You can't use it for editing video.

Yes I can.

I actually switched from a 7900 XTX to a 4090 BITD because I wanted CUDA, so I get that angle, but that doesn't mean I go around telling people "AMD isn't accelerated," because it's not true and it's a silly thing to try to claim.
