    pretending their games run better on one brand over the other…

    That’s absolutely a thing. There are a lot of benchmark channels showing noticeable changes in fps for some games between brands. Depending on the game, that might change the value proposition.

      CUDA support is what really pissed me off. I wanted to do some early machine learning (photogrammetry and computer vision stuff) 10-15 years ago, but the only way to use it was on nvidia hardware.
