Ah, the firmware... already been down that road, too. Best firmware files are the ones back from November. Recent updates exhibited problems again.

Intel made some precedence with Beignet that AMD decided to follow suit with and abandoned clover in favor of ROCm. Except that ROCm is taking this long and breaks badly. In exactly the same way that Beignet got abandoned, I'm reasonably certain AMD is gonna have to abandon ROCm.

Rocm only Supports cards with pcie3 atomic operations between CPU/GPU/spliters/risers, etc, everything needs support pcie atomic operations..
If you don't have that support in some of your connections on motherboard, you are done, no Rocm, only one fail, and you are done!!
Nvidia can even run opencl/Cuda in pcie1.1, so you can see why people use Nvidia....it works!!

Linux users are going with Nvidia instead of AMD, despite AMD having open source code drivers.
According to the Folding@home stats, Nvidia is 16x more popular than AMD on Linux. Nvidia is more popular than AMD on Windows too, but by not such a big margin as on Linux.
By the way ROCm was useless from the beginning. AMD simply failed while not getting a stable OpenCL 1.2 and above into Mesa.Last edited by Naquatis; 16 April 2020, 05:36 AM.
