14:22Caterpillar: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/reference/system-requirements.html shows that the 7800XT is not supported by Rocm, only the 7900. How is that possible?
16:32superkuh: AMD is how.
16:32superkuh: Last AMD card I bought I only had ROCm support for 1 year.
16:32superkuh: Gotta buy on release day to get any compute support.
16:33superkuh: ROCm support is an illusion.
16:33superkuh: Better off trying to use Vulkan backends.
16:43fililip: that's weird, my friend's 7800 XT as well as my 6600 XT work just fine with HIP
16:45fililip: there was just the multi-app bug but that's been fixed since April
16:46superkuh: RocBLAS is not HipBLAS.
16:47superkuh: Oh... I'm wrong. HIP is just a wrapper?
16:47superkuh: TIL.
16:48fililip: HIP is like CUDA but for AMD cards
16:48fililip: PyTorch is an example of a project that has supported it quite well
16:49superkuh: Then there's my RX 580 which works with nothing but Vulkan (or ancient containerized drivers).
16:51fililip: I've tried Blender on a gfx90c chip and HIP Cycles worked ootb after I've installed the latest version of opencl-amd (AUR package), but gfx8 might be unsupported
