In Case You Wondered, RADV Doesn't Work On AMD CDNA Instinct Accelerators


Samuel Pitoiset of Valve's Linux graphics driver team landed some changes on Thursday to the open-source RADV driver within Mesa around GPU checks for the hardware supported by this popular AMD Vulkan driver on Linux systems.

First up, in case you were ever wondering, one of the patches now officially confirms the AMD CDNA is unsupported by RADV. Trying to load the RADV driver on a CDNA part such as the AMD Instinct accelerators will now bail out. I haven't seen any confirmation one way or the other on AMD's AMDVLK or closed-source alternative Vulkan drivers on CDNA but presumably not since ROCm is their preferred approach to GPU compute.
