This post is part "hear me out" and part asking for advice.

Looking at the table above AI gpus are a pure scam, and it would make much more sense to (atleast looking at this) to use gaming gpus instead, either trough a frankenstein of pcie switches or high bandwith network.

so my question is if somebody has build a similar setup and what their experience has been. And what the expected overhead performance hit is and if it can be made up for by having just way more raw peformance for the same price.

Or get lucky with docker.

why do you need to get lucky with docker? what is it that doesn't work?

Eh, there's not as much attention paid to them working across hardware because AMD prices their hardware uncompetitively (hence devs don't test them much), and AMD themself focuses on the MI300X and above.

Also, I'm not sure what layer one needs to get ROCM working.
