I use a lot of programmes that use CUDA, mainly for AI, hence me using an ageing RTX3090. Are the newer AMD cards able to use software for such purposes, obviously not CUDA? If not, guess I am stuck in the green camp until something becomes available.

Is Nvidia the only real option?

CUDA can run on non-Nvidia cards. GIYF.
Ps. And A.I. apps can also run natively on AMD.

For a lot of AI tasks and related compute the 3090 still holds up pretty well, you have to go to the 5090 really to see massive gains and even then in some compute tasks it is only moderately faster than the 3090, the AMD GPUs vary depending on task from very slightly faster than the 3090 through to much slower.
But if you are doing this for "a.i.", wouldn't a Strix Halo based PC have been a better choice? Much more memory available for running such tasks, vastly more than even a 5090.
My PC is multipurpose, my entertainment, gaming etc, my budget was quite limited at the time. Will stick with the 3090 as the memory is happy at 1gHz overclock on a Founders card, some benchmarks put it in some of the lower 4080 scores.
