Support for older video cards

Can you add support for Nvidia 700 and 900 series video cards, and similarly from amd, this may please people with such video cards.

As far I understand AI related tech takes a lot more power and VRAM to function at all than what many older GPU's can provide, so support for older ones is unlikely.

When it comes to AMD, much of the code runs on something called CUDA which is geared towards Nvidia cards specifically. They have a corner on the market right now and 80% of the share in bought GPU's, especially because of the AI boom. AMD might get in the game, but Nvidia has a huge head start, especially because most AI tech is also developed with their stuff and they've been doing it for a while.

That said, there might be support in the future for AMD, if AMD figures out a way to play nicely with CUDA or makes something easily comparable to work with, but support for much older cards is likely not even possible, due to how intensive AI processes generally are. If AMD gets support or gets into any competitive way with Nvidia, it will likely take a few years.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I've understood trying to learn about this stuff.

Hello. Please provide support for Open CL . This will solve problems with AMD cards
Using package pytorch_ocl-0.1.0+torch2.4
