I wouldn't read too much into support. It's more in terms of business/warranty/promises than what can actually do things

I've had a 6900XT since launch and this is the first I'm hearing "unsupported", having played with ROCM plenty over the years with Fedora Linux.

I think, at most, it's taken a couple key environment variables

How hard would it be for AMD just to document the levels of support of different cards the way NVIDIA does with their "compute capability" numbers ?!

I'm not sure what is worse from AMD - the ML software support they provide for their cards, or the utterly crap documentation.

How about one page documenting AMD's software stack compared to NVIDIA, one page documenting what ML frameworks support AMD cards, and another documenting "compute capability" type numbers to define the capabilities of different cards.

And almost looks like they're deliberately trying to not win any market share.

It's as if the CEO is mates with NVidias CEO and has an unwritten agreement not to try too hard to topple the applecart...

Oh wait... They're cousins!
