Regarding compute performance, AMD has something coming, just need to have patience :) Once things are in place, announcement post will be made here and across the internet on what it is and how to make it work (since I am 100% sure it will not be easier to set up as it is right now with opencl). O...

Get the sdk back on, and copy and paste clinfo output here Okay, good news: It worked! I have no idea what I did differently this time but getting the rocm-opencl-sdk and rebooting worked fine. I had to do nothing else. Thanks a lot! I'm still a bit miffed that AMD drivers are far behind NVidia's w...

Hey! The user groups are already configured. I removed the rocm-opencl package, added the amdgpu-install repo and installed rocm-opencl-sdk. Rebooted. Clinfo output was OK. Still FAH webclient listed the dGPU as unsupported and work units are not processed. I installed OpenCL-ICD-Loader but it repor...

Thanks for the quick reply! I added my user to the groups "render" and "video". Additionally, I installed the packages "rocminfo" and "rocm-opencl" via DNF. I could not find a Fedora package for rocm-opencl-sdk. (I also found some Fedora docs: https://fedorapr...

Hi, I compiled and installed the FAH client from the latest code based on the RPM build instructions: https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-client-bastet/blob/master/BUILDING-RPM.md Folding with CPU cores works but I want to use my dGPU, Radeon 7800 XT, instead. It seems to be recognized but when I s...

Ok, I understand the risk. Thanks for the link, I'll try my luck sometime.

Hi.

I'd like to install F@H client v8.3 on my Fedora 40 machine. For v7 I know there is an rpm package. Is there also one for v8? If not, is there some guide how to install F@H on an "unsupported" Linux distro like Fedora?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I absolutely did not realize that there was a System Info tab. I'll see in the next days if iGPU works or not on my machine. If not, I'll just stick with dGPU.

Hi. Initially I deleted the two default GPU slots (iGPU and dGPU) from FAHControl because they had issues. Now I configured a GPU slot with index "-1" (defaulted to my dGPU) and got it working. But how do I add the iGPU? I read somewhere that I can specify the pci-slot and pci-bus values b...

Thanks for the insightful replies! I will probably go with AMD so I hope they will improve the drivers in the foreseeable future.

Hi, I was looking at the GPU PPD database ( https://folding.lar.systems/gpu_ppd/overall_ranks ) and was wondering why all the top places are taken by NVidia. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX does not even make the top 15. In other metrics (like gaming) it's comparable to a 4080 but even the 3080 or 4070 seem ...
