    ROCm is not spelled out anywhere in their documentation and the best answers in search come from Github and not AMD official documents

    And they wonder why they are losing. Branding absolutely matters.

    Bought in 2020. Stopped working in 2020. Not the latest, but in-production, advertised ROCm-capable, and what I could find during the Great GPU Shortage of 2020.

    Not OP, but they dropped support for SKUs which were still sold at that point. The MI50 would be a fun accelerator to play with and easily worth 2000$ if it were made by Nvidia. Since they are made by AMD and not supported, you can grab them for 200$.

    "Support," to me, means not dropping support in newer versions of ROCm. See the current compatibility matrix:

    https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon/en/latest/docs/com...

    I bought my (in-production, advertised ROCm-capable) card during the great GPU shortage of 2020, and literally anything new stopped working a few months later when AMD decided to update ROCm to drop support for GFX8 GPUs:

    https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/1353

    All the packages I was using (like Spacy) required later ROCm almost immediately. There was literally no way to make them work. Running older packages is a non-starter if you want things like, say, your machines to not be compromised.

    > if call of duty doesn't run on an amdgpu, you also don't get to complain to AMD about it, but the games studio certainly will do

    If "Call of Duty" is advertised on the box, and doesn't run, yes, this is false advertising, and "consumers" get to complain to the graphics card maker or AMD. In this case, small claims court would give me a refund if I sued AMD; an advertised ROCm-compatible GPU stopped being ROCm-compatible within the warranty period. It's just not worth complaining or suing over a few hundred bucks.

    I didn't need much performance, and this was purely for dev -- to make sure I bought this purely so I could have compatibility with AMD. AMD decided to not have compatibility with me, and I said f--k AMD.

    The result is that if you want to run my data pipeline, it won't work on AMD. A major industry will hopefully standardize on it, and guess who is locked out?

    Maybe so. But it isn't confidence inspiring when I go to see which cards are supported and I see this issue:

    https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/1714

    With Nvidia cards, I know that if I buy any Nvidia card made in the last 10 years, CUDA code will run on it. Period. (Yes, different language levels require newer hardware, but Nvidia docs are quite clear about which CUDA versions require which silicon.)

    The will-they-won't-they and the rapidly dropped support is hurting the otherwise excellent ROCm and HIP projects. There is a huge API surface to implement and it looks like they're making rapid gains.

    Like, there is: https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm.github.io/blob/master/hardware.md but I'm pretty sure that's very very outdated, maybe from 4.x?

    Do you have a source? The 580 and several older cards are listed as officially supported here, and even some 2xx/3xx cards are listed as unofficially supported.

    Very conveniently, your linked page (the therein linked pages) do not talk about which GPUs actually do support ROCm. This is probably because AMDs newest cards do not support ROCm in any way, and would guess they don't want the sales pact this lack of feature could cause. Please do evaluate yourself, here: https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm.github.io/blob/master/hardware.md
