I have an RX 5700 and wish to install the appropriate drivers for OpenCL support. This article states that ROCm has a slight performance advantage and my GPU seems to be compatible with it. I will use my GPU for DaVinci Resolve and TensorFlow workflows.

What should I do?

  • Should I install the amdgpu-pro driver and then ROCm separately?
  • Should I install the amdgpu-pro drivers with the --opencl=rocm argument?
  • Or should I use the --opencl=pal, legacy argument and install ROCm seperately?

  • I installed the rocm driver on Ubuntu 20.04 for its opencl support and the possibility to use tensorflow on rocm to implement a nn. It works good on hashcat as well (e.g with Hashmode: 22000 - WPA-PBKDF2-PMKID+EAPOL (Iterations: 4095) I got about 541.4 kH/s and with Hashmode: 0 - MD5 I got about 29456.2 MH/s - I have a Vega 64) – Bob91 Oct 29 '20 at 11:21

According to the ROCm installation guide, you should install amdgpu-pro or ROCm, but not both:

Note: You must use either ROCm or the amdgpu-pro driver. Using both drivers will result in an installation error.
