      If you already have a cuda workflow and want to use an AMD card, you can do that with this library.

        That includes stuff like Stable Diffusion that recommended nvidia cards because it uses CUDA to accelerate image generation?

        So does it work with off the shelf software or is it something the developer has the patch in?

          The point of a drop-in replacement is that no patching is required but in reality the software was released in incomplete form.

      CUDA is when a program can use the NVIDIA GPU in addition to the CPU for some complicated calculations. AMD now made it possible to use their cards for it too.

          You can’t use it with programs that aren’t specifically coded to use it. Outside of hash cracking, AI training and crypto mining, few programs are.

          If you mean from a developer perspective, you need to download the CUDA libraries and read through the documentation.
