I've tried using this set of steps [1], but have so far not had luck, mostly because the ROCm driver setup is throwing me for a loop. Tried it with an RX 6700 XT and first was going to test on Ubuntu 22.04 but realized ROCm doesn't support that OS yet, so tried again on 20.04 and ended up breaking my GPU driver!

Yes. That's expected.

AMD market segmented their RDNA2 support in ROCm to the Navi21 set only (6800/6800 XT/6900 XT).

It is not officially supported in any way on other RDNA2 GPUs. (Or even on the desktop RDNA2 range at all, that only works because their top end Pro cards share the same die)


Oh... had no clue! Thanks for letting me know so I wouldn't have to spend hours banging my head against the wall.


As an aside, a totally unsupported hack to make it somewhat work on Navi2x smaller dies which you use:

HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 to force using the Navi21 binary slice.

This is totally unsupported and please don't complain if something doesn't work when using that trick.

But basic PyTorch use works using this, so you might get away with it for this scenario.

(TL;DR: AMD just doesn't care about GPGPU on the mainstream, better to switch to another GPU vendor that does next time...)


Looks like I may be out of luck with NAVI 10.
