You do cryptographic compute. You're about the only HPC application that benefits from AMD architecture. Most other scientific compute and deep learning applications have horrible performance on AMD compared with NVIDIA (usually for software reasons that are in principle fixable, but it is what it is).

There is a lot of applications beyond crypto that depend on an integer performance. Even in graphics, not just scientific/engineering compute.

[magicalist]

sure, but if you're not integer performance bound, which most graphics work won't be, it doesn't usually matter.
