Usually the relation between IEEE float width and FPU throughput is roughly linear, at least with these recent architectures, so probably more like 8TFLOPS for fp64.

Then I remembered ROCm support. Or rather, the lack of it. At this point, I kind of give up with ever trying to get away from CUDA lock-in.
I need to stop getting my hopes up.

Out of curiosity, I had a look through some ROCm stack libraries (e.g. miopen) that were explicitly marked as having no RDNA support a few months ago. Seems like there have been a number of commits explicitly mentioning RDNA 1 and 2, so evidentlythere is work in progress. Whether this is enough to sway a purchasing decision is another story.

amdgpu-pci-6500
Adapter: PCI adapter
vddgfx: 850.00 mV
fan1: 2265 RPM (min = 1800 RPM, max = 6900 RPM)
edge: +53.0°C (crit = +97.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C)
power1: 7.10 W (cap = 35.00 W)
I really use this just to drive 2D for 3 monitors. Nothing more. Also I plan to switch stock fan to passive one GPU market situation becomes only a bit better and w3200 would be avilable next day in central EU again. This just for case I screw something up. :-)

The purpose of pro cards is to have AMD be the driver vendor, workflow certifier, and board vendor all at the same time, so that they can offer a warranty on the whole experience. One level deeper, they would be also selling you the motherboard, CPU, and validated DIMMs as well; usually this last bit is done at the OEM level though, for historical reasons, so when Lenovo gets a complaint about AutoCAD 2021 on your ThinkStation, they can bitch at AMD alone for the GPU (rather than mediating a bitchfest between the AMD driver team and a board partner like ASUS).
And low FP64 performance is just one issue for professional workloads. As is there is also a lack of ROCm or SR-IOV support.Last edited by mppix; 09 June 2021, 12:02 PM.
