Can I use radeon for blender and hashcat?

I need to buy new gpu
I would like to use it for blender and hashcat.

I'm aware that performance in blender won't be equal to nvidia.

I tried to search but I can find pretty much games related topics.

It seems that opencl support in bkender is depreciatiated.
It should work with HIP but I really can't find informatiin if rdna 2 is supported .

As for the hashcat there is rocm but it is in aur only and like blender info.
I wasn't able to find informstion if current gpus are supported.

In AMD they are working on ROCm, but we are still at a too early stage. For Blender; DaVinci Resolve, etc I still recommend Nvidia (I have rdna1 and many problems!).

Thanks for the information


Have you tried blender 3.2 alpha?
It seems that it should work with blender.

Quite bad info. I always thought that AMD has better support in Linux. But it seems that it is better only for desktop
I can buy 6900XT or 3080 in similar prices. So 6GB in memory difference

No, I haven't tried Blender 3.2. I can't get Hip to work anyway so it's premature to try. Blender and other pro software are all pro CUDA; until that changes Nvidia is better. I don't do pro use, so I'm fine with adapting to AMD as well. For the future I have more faith in Intel than AMD (I had a year of problems with rdna1 desktop use. Now that it is rock stable I have 2 years problems with graphics workstation use, and probably my 5700xt will never have true and full ROCm support). Try to follow the AUR package "opencl-amd", they often talk about problems and how AMD development is going on.
