It sounds nice but as soon as you experience AMD support you go back to Nvidia. Those are professional applications, not gaming and it just has to run and the support also needs to be top notch. What use it paying less when you waste your time on issues and thus do not earn money?

Unfortunately I've heard similar stories to PolCPP regarding AMD's professional cards. When the products work for your application they're great, but if they don't, you're probably not going to get any help with changing that.

The simple fact is that Nvidia have much larger teams able to handle this sort of thing than AMD do.

Depends on the usage, anything CUDA related is a nono.

In our case the pricing was what drove use to try them. IIRC was around half of the quadro solution (can't recall exactly, would need to check quotes from back then). And in the end there was a software feature that they had announced that i confirmed with their sales team,but the driver didn't support it. After losing like 2 months dealing with them ended buying the quadro's.

Yeah, no. Been there done that. Rather pay the extra $4k and go nvidia for professional stuff.

AMD support is just terrible for pro support, around 15 day last time i tried, Nvidia on the other side is pretty much next business day answer.

That's a large turnaround time indeed. But the fact that you get 2 Radeon Pro VII's for the price of one Quadro may be tilting scales towards AMD, don't you think, especially for medium enterprises.

AMD has taken wraps off the Radeon Pro VII workstation GPU aimed at industrial applications such as broadcasting, 8K video editing, and computer-aided engineering. The Radeon Pro VII is based on the same 7nm Vega 20 GPU as the Radeon VII and is being positioned as a cost-effective alternative for the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000, with two such Radeon Pro VII cards being comparable to the Quadro GV100 at a price of US$1,899.
