Adding to this: I used AMD's official amdgpu tool to install ROCm and now my card is failing to be recognized on boot by ubuntu ~80% of the time, causing a failure to load lightdm & start up. Tomorrow I'll dig around in journalctl to see if I can fix it.
I'm thiiiiis close to throwing up my hands and getting a 4070 but I've been advised that other than ML/CUDA, AMD>Nvidia for linux. Also the 4070 is 2x the price for just slightly better performance.
- kkielhofner 4y agoI’ve been there. Feel free to keep at it but unless your goal is to be a ROCm developer and contribute to the driver, upstream projects, etc IMO it’s just not worth it. There is so much interesting, educational, and productive stuff going on with GPUs these days… At some point people need to ask themselves “did I buy a GPU to learn/use ML, or did I buy a GPU to beta test AMDs software stack?” When it comes to GPU compute Nvidia cards are substantially cheaper if you value your time and sanity. Note I don’t have any vested interest in Nvidia whatsoever, I’m just mad at myself for spending my time and money thinking AMD actually cared about any of this - they clearly don’t and the lack of progress I’ve seen and experienced over the past five years I’ve tried with them is insulting to me and the rest of their so called user base.
- boppo1 4y agoAny word on who has better vulkan support?
- kkielhofner 4y agoI don't know or have any experience because I've never needed/been interested in it.
