The use case is precision CAD and DNN development.

cuDNN+CUDA+TensorCores have the best TOPS/$/kWh performance (for now). Plus, I need ECC VRAM for professional CAD calculations.

There's plenty of reasons to use an NVIDIA stack.

It's just weird when people say there's no reason to use their products.
