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.

You need to set an override in your environment variables to force it to use the gfx1030 kernel modules, but otherwise you shouldn't have too many issues.

It's unofficial, but the 6700xt uses the exact same core as one of the supported enterprise cards, so just using the drivers for it generally works just fine. I use a 6800M personally.

If you are struggling to get rocm installed at all then stop using the amd guides and just install the pre built binaries directly. Fedora packages them in their repository and in my experience rocm just works once you run dnf install rocm*.
