GPU RENDERING ON AMD AND NVIDIA GPUS
For a short while, GPU rendering was only available on Nvidia cards. Since then, AMD hardware has been adopted through the HIP (Heterogeneouscomputing Interface for Portability) framework. Speeds on Nvidia hardware is reportedly quicker than AMD, but both are faster than in Blender 2.93. This move spreads the potential user base for this technology and will help to increase its popularity across the industry.
