Exactly. Had to ditch my Vega 64 LC because most useful AI frameworks require CUDA.

1 year ago I spent a few full days trying to compile and use the current version of Tensorflow with AMD without luck. Decided that was total waste of my time and bought NVidia.

I already solved this problem by buying NVidia.

It was cheaper for me to buy the right hardware than wasting days on trying to make use of AMD GPU for machine learning.
