The new 9070 XT seems like a really interesting card for Blackbird owners.

<< < (3/3)

MauryG5:
Yes, in fact it is not yet the case to venture into purchases of this kind considering that we are still at the beginning and the support is only at the beginning. We will see how it will evolve, I am in no hurry to move to a new card, when the time is ripe and the support is complete, then I will carefully evaluate making the purchase. In the meantime the market settles and the software improves and becomes more and more stable.

MauryG5:
Prices seem to be dropping, today the 9070XT are available at good prices, it would be interesting to see what the current state of support is on Power...

MauryG5:
Any news on where we're at to use RDNA4 on Power? I think it'll take the usual trifecta: appropriate firmware, updated drivers, and, of course, a recent kernel...

I'm also wondering, I'm interested in using the PRO R9700 for LLMs whenever I'm back on ppc64le

MPC7500:
AFAIK, RDNA4 should work, regarding the wiki.
Here is a ROCm on ppc64le.
Dunno how well it woks. Highly likely Scottcjn is AI.
Also Timothy offered support, but no response.

I wouldn't buy a POWER9 system today either.

A) too expensive
B) new systems should be coming out soon.
