Really telling they have to ask us for what cards we want as opposed to supporting all cards by default from day 1 like Nvidia.

All because they went with a boneheaded decision to require per-device code compilation (gfx1030, gfx1031...) instead of compiling to an intermediate representation like CUDA's PTX. Doubly boneheaded considering the graphics API they developed, Vulkan, literally does that via SPIR-V!

Really telling who comments before reading :)

The author of the issue comments that they'll eventually support all cards. What he really is asking for, is what cards people want them to prioritize, not just support.
