Radeon ROCm 3.5 Released With New Features But Still No Navi Support

[_r00t-]

Any AMD fan will tell you AMD GPUS ARE THE BEST EVAR, AMD CPUs ARE THE BEST EVAR (despite not fully supporting Linux), NVIDIA AND INTEL SUCK ASS.

There's nothing wrong with my CPU Ryzen 7 2700 it works like a charm. As for the GPU a Radeon RX 580 would be better choice. Anyway i hope they will fix all the issues + OpenCL support within a few months.

Run Mesa-git and the latest kernel, problem solved...

Navi was released in ... July 2019 and now a full year later I have to download something and compile it? And then run make install and wreak havoc to my system? The fuck is wrong with you? NVIDIA has fully supported its GPUs on Linux on fucking launch since the late 90s.

I'm running Mesa-20.2-git and Linux Kernel 5.7-git and i still have a lot of GPU lockups ..i'm waiting for Kernel 5.8-rc1 now.

The linked article shows that the mobile 4000 series Ryzen severly underperforms under Linux and your counter argument is a different generation desktop CPU released two years ago works OKish? Are you alright, sir? Maybe we should talk about how Athlon XP works beautifully under Linux?

Also, also, you, sir, are lying about how well it works under Linux.

Under Windows Ryzen CPUs allow to set any frequency between base and boost, under Linux right fucking now I have the choice of:

3.6GHz 2.8GHz and 2.2Ghz

and nothing else. And the driver to support the entire range of frequencies under Linux was released quite some time ago and never been pushed to or merged with mainline.

Apart from clinfo, Luxmark and LibreOffice I haven't used it that much on my older Linux laptop to be honest. On my more performant hardware on Windows I use OpenCL often in video editing and image manipulation software and it is usually much faster than CPU-only solutions.

i guess the video stuff wouldn't work on linux.

Strange, are you sure the card is okay?

Yeah, but 3/4 of that doesn't work on Linux.

Some people might want to run them under Wine.

I wish i could but i will have to buy another one and i have other priorities currently. :P

I'll trade you a 4GB RX 580 since that does work with ROCm.
