AMD Graphics card not working nicely with Go software:

I am glad, I recommended the NVIDIA card to my friend.

Is katago or leela zero stronger on the 2060 at 5 sec per move? Thanks!
set katago to play at your level https://docdro.id/sHZU1ti or experiment with gtp4zen ( https://rb.gy/kx2ilb )

If one compare NVidia GTX 1060 3Gb vs NVidia GTX 1060 6Gb!

Does the double amount of graphics memory have a major impact for Leela or KataGo?

If one compare NVidia GTX 1050 Ti laptop vs NVidia GTX 1050 Ti desktop!

Are the laptop version much worse for Leela or KataGo?

This article is pretty old, but looks like the 1050 TI (laptop) is about as good as the desktop version

For the memory question, afaik it is a matter of how many playouts you can store in memory.

I.e. if you want to do 2 million playouts on a single move, it needs to store the calculations somewhere.

For normal use, it should not make a difference

Right now, KataGo is stronger
