I’m curious if anyone has had much luck leveraging older AMD hardware to use ROCm, I have an 6700 xt that I’ve just begun inquiring about, and it seems it falls outside of official support.

Right now I intend to pass it through to my Debian Docker VM to support transcoding in some containers in addition to machine learning applications.

    Their guides specifically call for an exact kernel version, distribution, and hardware. If you are trying to operate outside of the official requirements then it shouldn’t come as a surprise when the official documentation doesn’t work for you.

      do you know how insane it is their official guides don’t work with kernel point updates?

      This has been an issue for a long time.

      I have to maintain a file of which specific kernel+os+firmware versions I’m on and have downgraded to just to get the most popular ML library in the world to du a matrix multiply.

      I don’t get how this bug gets into production branch, let alone shipped requiring firmware downgrades, on their new line of GPUs/chips. How do they not test their latest hardware with their own firmware?
