ROCm usually only supports two generations of consumer GPUs, and sometimes the latest generation is slow to gain support. Currently only RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 (RX 7000 and 9000) are supported: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/lates...

It's not ideal. CUDA for comparison still supports Turing (two years older than RDNA 2) and if you drop down one version to CUDA 12 it has some support for Maxwell (~2014).

Worse, RDNA3 and RDNA4 aren't fully supported, and probably won't be, as they only focus on chips that make them more money. If we didn't have Vulkan, every nerd in the world would demand either a Mac or an Intel with Nvidia chip. AMD keeps leaving money on the table.

It's pretty crazy that a 6900XT/6950XT aren't supported.

I have RX 6700XT, damn. AMD is shooting themselves in the foot
