Radeon VII (and new AMD gpus) compatibility

Not open for further replies.
Is everyone who's having a problem with the Radeon VII on a Gigabyte motherboard? It sort of seems that way skimming back a few pages.

My Radeon VII is working well with my Gigabyte.

My Asus motherboard couldn't wake from sleep with the Radeon VII installed. It can wake with every other video card I've put in there, including Vega 56, RX 560, and GT 640.
 
Looks like the VII is now EOL'd...whoomp whoomp.

What's an alternative?
 
That's what I'm finding, and the Vega 56/64...just too old for me.

I suppose the 5700 XT is an option, but it's not that much of a performance boost from the 1070...aside from, you know, actually running in Mojave.

Maybe I'll hold out for a few months and see if the Navi cards perform well and actually work well in Mojave, too.

Thanks!
 
Can anyone with a Radeon VII run `code --status` in the terminal (you need to have Visual Studio Code installed) and post the output. I remember a while back it didn't have acceleration, wondering if anything has changed.
 
Pinging @pastrychef, maybe you still have the RVII?
 
Yes, I have a Radeon VII.

What are you not getting acceleration on?

Mostly in vscode, seems it lags a little. It'd be great to see if there is still this issue, so I can swap GPUs again. If you run `code --status` in the terminal it should show something like this

Code:
GPU Status:       2d_canvas:                     enabled
                  flash_3d:                      enabled

I just get command not found.
