Blender 3.2 HIP do not detect rx 6800 xt GPU

[Pioter]

I have installed Manjaro on the KDE version. My graphics card is Asus tuf rx6800xt oc, CPU Ryzen 5600x. I installed blender 2.3 which should support AMD GPUs but HIP doesn’t detect my card. I am a novice user, I did not install anything extra, just the system and automatic updates. Please help

How to Install 22.10.X Mesa Drivers?

This currently requires the 22.10 Linux driver from the AMD Radeon repository. – Reference/Release Notes/3.2/Cycles - Blender Developer Wiki Blender officially supports only the proprietary drivers from both AMD and NVIDIA – Blender - ArchWiki It’s not referring to Mesa, it’s referring to Radeon Software for Linux. See AMDGPU PRO - ArchWiki

Thank you for your help. I skip the installation of official drivers … you need to be a programmer-engineer for that. Are there any plans for open source drivers to support Blender? Moreover, I noticed that ray tracing is not supported in games (cp2077). Will this also be supported someday?

Maybe you missed the point where it says: opencl-amd. That is the AUR package which installs the proprietary libs.

pamac build opencl-amd

Indeed Raytracing works from the driver side, but implementation in wine is another task. You need vkd3d which is the translation layer for dx12.
