More info is posted on AMD's community site[1] which dates itself "Thursday", but google which search dates "22 hours ago" which would be Sunday.<p>They say:<p>> <i>Which AMD GPUs does the HIP SDK support?</i><p>> Everything from high-end workstation and gaming GPUs to laptop cards and even APUs. Below, you can see a list of the GPUs that AMD tests for use with the HIP SDK, but you may be able to support other cards in your own software: for example, Blender's HIP rendering backend supports AMD GPUs going back to the Vega generation.<p>Helpfully, the article then links to "GPU and OS support"[2] which at the present time redirects to a login-required page at readthedocs.com. Sigh.<p>1: <a href="https://community.amd.com/t5/rocm/available-now-new-hip-sdk-helps-democratize-gpu-computing/ba-p/621029/jump-to/first-unread-message" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://community.amd.com/t5/rocm/available-now-new-hip-sdk-...</a><p>2: <a href="https://rocm.amd.com/en/update-windows-install-guide-improvement/release/windows_support.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://rocm.amd.com/en/update-windows-install-guide-improve...</a>
Excellent news, and way better than the previous '7900 xtx only' indication for the enthusiast space. I'll be sticking to nvidia for now, but hope AMD will put up some credible competition in the homebrew AI space.
Interesting to see consumer GPUs from RX 6800 up getting HIP support on windows, (on the "Radeon" tab) whereas I don't think I've seen them explicitly mentioned under Linux. I wonder if this will now change too?
