Isn't there anyone who could have tested an RX 5700 XT with myROCm on linux

i run a mostly-AMD rig consisting of a bunch of Radeon VIIs. In a 6u case made for mining i do not experience any throttling under load spaced at 4u apart, but they're definitely not as efficient as an equivalent nvidia solution. you pick AMD/ROCm because you want to work with the open solution, not because it's the easiest or best tool for the job. here is a benchmark i ran on that rig a couple of weeks ago: https://gist.github.com/rarecoil/5434028...5df2535c86

@OnePiece, ROCm 3.0 was released a couple of days ago and still doesn't have navi support - https://rocm.github.io/ROCmInstall.html. however, i do not understand why you need navi support to make the decision; if you are going to compromise you might as well buy Vega20 and get R7s while they're cheap, or wait for AMD's Arcturus-based compute card. the problem with forks like this smartbitcoin fork is that you will have even more problems: if you run into hashcat problems, developers will wontfix you because you are running an incompatible solution, the fork will trail ROCm updates and may not work on other distros, et cetera.

it's too much drama unless you are capable of hacking on that fork as well as hashcat, and since you are asking the community to get it to work, i assume that means that you do not yet have the development skills to maintain those changes yourself. i believe that you are more likely to end up with a solution that works temporarily, partially, or not at all, and you will end up having wasted a lot of money. because of this, i would echo it is best to stick to nvidia for cracking if you want reliability or work with the official ROCm, officially supported ROCm distros, and officially supported ROCm cards.
