...about damn time? Still, supporting only the halo card is not going to do anyone any favours. Why would a student or someone prototyping smaller models dish out $1k for a 7900 XTX when they can pay $300 and get an RTX 3060?
This is important as what AMD should do is establish market adoption, otherwise the main DL libraries will never be encouraged to support their hardware properly. Looks like they're focussing on immediate profit, which is not going to come - even at the high end, why buy the AMD halo card when a 4080 costs the same, performs better on AI, and has CUDA? 50% more VRAM is indeed a selling point, but compatibility and support for libraries is even more of a selling point.
