I upgraded my trusty old GTX1060 to a RX7600XT. Everything works as it should except for blender. It doesn’t find the GPU as a rendering device.
Since the driver manager states “No drivers needed” and when running glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" in the terminal, it outputs
OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 24.2.8-1ubuntu1~24.04.1 I figured I had all important drivers installed.
I don’t know why blender won’t find the GPU. Do you have any advice for a newbie?

Solution: Didn’t have ROCm installed. For anyone with the same issue, here is a link to the guide I used. I don’t know if these were necessary for the solution, but here are the amd drivers, just in case ;)
I had this issue and it only worked when I downloaded it from the website and ran it, not from steam or flatpak. I don’t have it installed anymore and I’m not sure what the underlying issue was, but you can try that.
What version of Blender do you have running? You can try to add yourself to the video and render group which may get it working. In terminal:
sudo usermod -a -G video [user] sudo usermod -a -G render [user]Do you have it installed via flatpack/snap? IIRC flatpack/snap doesn’t support AMD Hip.
Grab the tarball from here and give that a shot.
Had it installed via steam, gave it a shot, sadly didn’t work. But thanks still :D
Maybe you have to install the proprietary driver including the OpenCL stack. See https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install-installing.html
