Blender 3.0 is out, huh.
Wonder if cycles works on AMD GPUs yet.

@izaya if GCN1 counts, then I could try it some time next week...
@wolf480pl Pulling in the updates now, should be interesting.
@izaya oh, you actually do have means to test it, nvm
@wolf480pl place your bets now on whether I'll get a cube or a plain black irregular hexagon
@izaya on Linux? also what card?
@wolf480pl Yup, RX 580. Just rebooted after the update. Currently it doesn't even show up in Blender.
@izaya if you get a black hexagon you're lucky
@wolf480pl It's not picking up my amdgpu/opencl-amd setup at all.
I'll give it a week and see if anything changes.

@izaya release notes say their current AMD backend works only on Windows, and only on RDNA2 and accudentally also on RDNA1. They say they'll try to figure something out for Linux in 3.1, but I doubt it'll work on GCN4
@wolf480pl Blender continues to favour their donors, I see.
@izaya both NVidia and AMD appear in the top tier of their donors tho....

@wolf480pl My understanding is that NVIDIA throws considerable amounts of hardware at the devs, though.

I wish I could do something like that for a living. Outwardly, it may look like u do something similar- but my current JD is soo far removed from that in actuality.
