The much more limited range of GPU device support than with NVIDIA's broad device support for multiple generations.

#NVIDIA GRAPHICS CARDS DRIVER#

It's been quite a while since I can last recall any headaches simply getting the NVIDIA Linux driver properly installed.Д«ut even once getting ROCm working with the first card, an RDNA2 model, it brought up another limitation.

In comparison, NVIDIA's Linux proprietary driver stack having near universal supported/available across Linux distributions. AMD meanwhile focuses their official ROCm Linux support just on the few usual enterprise Linux distributions. With some tinkering I ultimately got Blender 3.2 successfully working with HIP/ROCm! Unfortunately most Linux distributions still don't package the AMD ROCm software due to its intricacies and other headaches. The packaged driver on the AMD site is for the Radeon Software 22.10.2 components while going through the ROCm installation route yielded newer 22.10.3 driver components. So on the test system I just wiped it and went back to making an Ubuntu 20.04 installation.ДЄt first even on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS I ran into issues as well getting the AMD HIP support activated for Blender. I tried at first working around that on Ubuntu 22.04 in just wanting the ROCm bits anyhow and not worrying about the DKMS / Vulkan / OpenGL components, but GNU toolchain package differences from Ubuntu 20.04 vs. It's been over one month since the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release has been out and unfortunately still no support for this newest Ubuntu long-term support release. Even then, the Linux distribution support is limited.

Most Linux users, unfortunately, don't run with the ROCm stack setup at this point due to needing to manually set it up via the Radeon Software for Linux packaged drivers or the manual ROCm install procedures. This allows for GPU acceleration when having the ROCm compute stack setup - unfortunately that means no support if just using the Mesa drivers and other out-of-the-box support on Linux distributions. While Blender 3.1 brought AMD HIP support on Windows, that wasn't the case for Linux and only now with this week's Blender 3.2 release is there AMD HIP support with Blender's Linux builds. Eager to see the AMD GPU support on Linux finally arrive, I quickly began trying out this new Blender open-source 3D modeling software release while seeing how the AMD RDNA2 HIP performance compares to that of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 GPUs that have long enjoyed top-notch support under Blender. This week's release of Blender 3.2 brings AMD GPU rendering support on Linux via AMD's HIP interface in conjunction with their ROCm compute stack.
