I’m curious if anyone has had much luck leveraging older AMD hardware to use ROCm, I have an 6700 xt that I’ve just begun inquiring about, and it seems it falls outside of official support.
Right now I intend to pass it through to my Debian Docker VM to support transcoding in some containers in addition to machine learning applications.
Kind of a tangent : this depends a lot on your use case but I’ve found that transcoding with GPU is not necessarily a good thing. You generally get larger files, and it’s not always faster than CPU. That is because ffmpeg can distribute the load among all your CPU cores. If you’ve got enough of those you’ll get better multipliers than on an old GPU.
