It's 5xxx. And "rough launch" is not an excuse. They've had plenty of time. Is it that different from the other RDNA cards?

The unofficial support for so many cards is not a good situation either.

Edit: Actually, no, I know it's not that different, because some versions of ROCm largely work on RDNA1 if you trick them. They are just refusing to do the extra bit of work to patch over the differences.



I mean it apparently works on RDNA1 now after some effort but they never really attempted to support it because they initially only supported workstation RDNA cards but they didn't have a workstation RDNA1 release.

I wish they had comprehensive support for basically all recent GPU releases but tbh I'd rather they focus on perfecting support for the current and upcoming generations than spread their efforts too thin.

And ideally with time backports to the older cards will come with time but it's really not a priority over issues on the current generation because those RDNA1 cards were never actually supported in the first place.


Every post I see about trying it has the person run into issues, but maybe Soon it will finally be true.
