AMD Rocm: Windows Supported GPUs

Interesting to see consumer GPUs from RX 6800 up getting HIP support on windows, (on the "Radeon" tab) whereas I don't think I've seen them explicitly mentioned under Linux. I wonder if this will now change too?

  Aren't the listed GPU's the workstation only variety? So, not consumer oriented ones. (?)

    Note the second "radeon" tab, which contains a bunch of their new consumer GPUs. (Everything 7000-series and 6800 and up.)

      Thanks! Yeah, I totally missed that. :)

So is this enough to add AMD support to llama.cpp? I would like to know if HIP is faster than OpenCl.

Pytorch: ROCm is not available on Windows

  Right, but this was new in the last 48 hours or so I think.

I'm confused. They are not mentioned in Linux section. So windows getting support before linux?
- ttctciyf 3y ago
  It's odd how their Linux support documentation is so lackluster. I have an RX 6800 that runs stable diffusion fine with recent PyTorch on Linux, but looking at their Linux support info you wouldn't think this was possible. The situation (afaik) until a day or so ago was that Linux had official support for datacenter and "pro" cards and unofficially for consumer cards while Windows had nothing. Considering the dev hours that must go into this it seems odd they don't have better release info, frankly.

Excellent news, and way better than the previous '7900 xtx only' indication for the enthusiast space. I'll be sticking to nvidia for now, but hope AMD will put up some credible competition in the homebrew AI space.

More info is posted on AMD's community site[1] which dates itself "Thursday", but google which search dates "22 hours ago" which would be Sunday. They say: > Which AMD GPUs does the HIP SDK support? > Everything from high-end workstation and gaming GPUs to laptop cards and even APUs. Below, you can see a list of the GPUs that AMD tests for use with the HIP SDK, but you may be able to support other cards in your own software: for example, Blender's HIP rendering backend supports AMD GPUs going back to the Vega generation. Helpfully, the article then links to "GPU and OS support"[2] which at the present time redirects to a login-required page at readthedocs.com.
