AMD Radeon Pro W7700 Running on Raspberry Pi


fter years of work among a bunch of people in the Pi community (special callout to Coreforge!), we finally have multiple generations of AMD graphics cards working on the Raspberry Pi 5. We recently got Polaris-era GPUs working (like the RX460), but in the past month we've gotten 6000 and 7000-series GPUs up and running.

And many parts of the driver work at full performance—well, as much as can be had on the Raspberry Pi's single PCIe Gen 3 lane (8 GT/sec)! Then you should be able to see the VAAPI info, and apps like OBS ( sudo apt install obs-studio) should be able to use the hardware transcoding instead of x264 running on the Pi's CPU. For some example gameplay footage at 4K, along with demos of multi-display work and OBS hardware encoding, check out my video on YouTube:
