Amd doesn't even have software for GPGPU on some of their cards. I have an rx5700xt and I cant use it for anything but gaming because ROCm doesn't support navi cards, a whole year after its release.
- csdreamer7 6y agoAs a 5700 owner, I agree. It gets even worse. There was recently a regression in the 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 kernels that hit me hard for a week or so on Manjaro last month. System just decided to lock up or restart. Thought the graphics card had died when it happened once on Windows. Working fine now-these drivers have been out for 10 months now. Even worse, AMD has locked down the releases of some of their 'GPUOpen' software. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Radeon-Rays-4.0-Released https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Radeon-R... https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GPUOpen-RMV-Binary-Release https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GPUOpen-... I did not expect the second one to be open source; just not on their GPUOpen website. I did expect the first one to 'stay' open source. Not to be made proprietary on their 'GPUOpen' website. I am definitely keeping an eye on Intel graphics now.
