AMD Develops ROCm-based Solution to Run Unmodified NVIDIA's CUDA Binaries on AMD Graphics

True, although most, if not all Nvidia features have been hardware-agnostic so far, with the exception of PhysX. It's only with the RTX moniker that they sped up the steep downhill roll on "buy our stuff or else" lane.

Um, no. CUDA and PhysX are NVidia exclusive features. CUDA always has been. PhysX has been since the NVidia buyout. No non-NVidia GPU can natively run CUDA or PhysX. Full stop.

Yes. But I mean, aside from these, every other Nvidia feature was hardware-agnostic before RTX, and even PhysX wasn't advertised as heavily as DLSS is now.

Ah, ok, I see what you're trying to say. Thinking we were getting some crossed wires. Sorry about that..

No. CUDA is a NVidia feature ONLY. No one who has paid for a non-Nvidia card has paid for CUDA. Full stop.

Sure but you can execute CUDA binaries on radeon which does not have CUDA. So you dont need CUDA to run it.

No worries. It isn't always easy to understand each other in written form.
