Hi,

ROCm is such an exciting project, with teething issues of course, but I'd rather use this than NVidia's proprietary software.

I've been looking at buying an appropriate card and was using the hardware list at https://rocm.github.io/hardware.html. The document provided a list of supported cards and caveats for each. And is referenced by the README.md at Supported GPUs

For a more detailed list of hardware support, please see the following documentation.

However, in the past week or so the page redirects to https://rocm-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

I've searched the docs page, but I cannot find the the detailed list of supported cards. Where has the list of supported cards gone?

I'm happy for this issue to be moved to the ROCm repo if needed.

Thanks!

Thanks @Rmalavally.

I found those documents earlier which have been improved, but they lack the details of the hardware document. For example (from a local copy I have):

Hardware to Play ROCm

Officially Supported GPUs

Because the ROCm Platform has a focus on particular computational domains, we offer official support for a selection of AMD GPUs that are designed to offer good performance and price in these domains. This section details the GPUs that ROCm Supports. GFX8 GPUs

ROCm offers support for three chips from AMD’s “gfx8” generation of GPUs. Note that these GPUs all require a host CPU and platform with PCIe 3.0 with support for PCIe atomics. This is detailed further in the following section on CPU requirements.

“Fiji” chips, which include the following GPUs:
    AMD Radeon R9 Fury
    AMD Radeon R9 Nano
    AMD Radeon R9 Fury X
    AMD Radeon Pro Duo (Fiji)
    AMD FirePro S9300 X2
    AMD Radeon Instinct MI8
“Polaris 10” chips, including the following GPUs:
    AMD Radeon RX 470
    AMD Radeon RX 480
    AMD Radeon RX 570
    AMD Radeon RX 580
    AMD Radeon Pro Duo (Polaris)
    AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100
    AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100
    AMD Radeon Instinct MI6

>SNIP<

Having a clear list of supported (and unofficially supported) cards is important as there are many chipsets and variations that make it difficult to choose. Especially with caveats on what will and will not run with PCIe 3 and atomics.
