>then its parallel GPU got "lucky", first the bitcoin mining...credit must be given to its CUDA ecosystem
this seems like a bit of contradiction to me. they either got luck as you claim, or CUDA was good to keep things going. from my experience, CUDA was the only way to go for GPU accelerated processing. specifically, my experience was with Resolve color correction and using CUDA was the only way to go. memory is fuzzy, but the timeline on crypto was sametime-ish. because of the audience, this forum is naturally going to trend crypto vs niche video post workflows, but CUDA was definitely kicking Radeon/AMD ass in other aspects besides useless crypto.
Same. I wanted to buy a really chunky graphics card for BMD Fusion, but the price got pushed up by the cryptobro wankers mining their Dunning-Krugerrand, and now the price is getting pushed up by all the chatgpt wankers trying to run hardware-accelerated Eliza bots.
