ROCm isn't a viable option for many. Official support only goes back to Fiji . Running without PCIe atomics support only applies to Vega, so what about everyone else? To some extent, it would be fine to just say old cards aren't supported. But, there's a critical difference here. Customers purchased your old cards and things worked using non-ROCm, and now they don't. With AMD having $6.5 billion (USD) in annual revenue, and now turning a profit, can't it spare a little bit of time to assist ensuring that AMD's customers can use its video cards the way they'd like, without absolutely hating the product? I'm not even talking about best performance, I'm just talking about being able to use the darn thing, whether it be in mesa, or amdgpu. I think many of your linux customers are using AMD because it's the lesser of two current evils. IMO, AMD should see Intel coming towards the discrete GPU market and start rethinking its behavior. I didn't use ROCm in the past, because it used to require a Xeon E5 be v3 or newer, and I have v1. I see now there's a way to run Vega 10 chips to run without PCIe atomics support, so I'll give it another try. _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
