Laughs in AMD
Cries in hardware raytracing
I use Blender, it's GNU-GPL
Another related job
They have put out HIP (which is even hardware agnostic) but the bottleneck is at the hardware level if I'm well informed
Yes me too, I dearly hope some competition comes on the field, either from AMD or Intel, because this Nvidia monopoly has not been good for us !
Blender already has OpenCL raytracing kernels(shaders)
Yeah those fps and quality gains are just tricks of the eyes 🙄.
And I forgot AMD is just happily giving away those GPUs and not charging hundreds.
Oh no, zealots don't like me. WHAT WILL I DO!!!!!!??????
AMD can do that though?
Not really no, there's a factor of almost 4x in performance between the top cards (my use case specifically being GPU rendering in Blender using Optix or HIP)
