AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Linux GPU Compute Performance
Initial benchmarks for the AMD Radeon RX 9070 series indicate OpenCL support, but official ROCm support is unconfirmed. Some components are non-functional, and further details from AMD are awaited.
Read original article
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 series has recently undergone initial GPU compute performance testing on Linux, focusing on OpenCL benchmarks. The review highlights that while ROCm support for the RX 9070 series was anticipated, it was not available at launch. AMD has indicated that ROCm 6.3 may work with the RX 9070 series, and preliminary tests show that the graphics cards can be detected by ROCm software, with OpenCL support functioning. However, there is still uncertainty regarding the official status of ROCm support and any potential limitations, as the documentation is not yet available. Some components, such as Blender 4.3's HIP back-end, are not operational with ROCm on these graphics cards. The review emphasizes the need for further information from AMD regarding the RX 9070's compatibility with the ROCm compute stack and its performance compared to previous RDNA graphics cards and NVIDIA's offerings.
