Supported GPUs#

The following table shows the supported AMD Instinct™ accelerators, and Radeon™ PRO and Radeon GPUs. If a GPU is not listed on this table, it’s not officially supported by AMD.

Accelerators and GPUs listed in the following table support compute workloads (no display information or graphics). If you’re using ROCm with AMD Radeon or Radeon Pro GPUs for graphics workloads, see the Use ROCm on Radeon GPU documentation to verify compatibility and system requirements.

⚠️

✅: Supported - Official software distributions of the current ROCm release fully support this hardware.

⚠️: Deprecated - The current ROCm release has limited support for this hardware. Existing features and capabilities are maintained, but no new features or optimizations will be added. A future ROCm release will remove support.

❌: Unsupported - The current ROCm release does not support this hardware. The HIP runtime might continue to run applications for an unsupported GPU, but prebuilt ROCm libraries are not officially supported and will cause runtime errors.

Important

Systems with multiple GPUs may require iommu=pt to be set at boot time to prevent application hangs, as described in Issue #5: Application hangs on Multi-GPU systems.

Note

See the Compatibility matrix for an overview of supported GPU architectures across ROCm releases.
