Choosing a GPU (pawb.social)
submitted 1 year ago by awooo@pawb.social to c/tech@pawb.social

I'm looking to upgrade from a dying RX 590, and I'm eyeing the RX 6950 XT, which I can get for slightly less than 800 USD, I'm wondering if that'd be a good choice.

It's mostly for gaming, but I kinda want to run ML stuff and blender on the side, so I hope ROCm works well enough for that, I want to avoid NVIDIA because of Linux.

Thanks! GPU crashes worry me a bit, because they're hard to diagnose, but if it's only in niche things like that, it's probably fine. I will probably need 16 GB of VRAM since I'm mostly interested with experimenting on LMs, and maybe MusicGen, which are a bit bigger than SD.
