## AMD Radeon GPU Support
Ollama leverages the AMD ROCm library, which does not support all AMD GPUs. In
some cases you can force the system to try to use a similar LLVM target that is
close. For example The Radeon RX 5400 is `gfx1034` (also known as 10.3.4)
however, ROCm does not currently support this target. The closest support is
`gfx1030`. You can use the environment variable `HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION` with
`x.y.z` syntax. So for example, to force the system to run on the RX 5400, you
would set `HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION="10.3.0"` as an environment variable for the
server. If you have an unsupported AMD GPU you can experiment using the list of
supported types below.
At this time, the known supported GPU types are the following LLVM Targets.
This table shows some example GPUs that map to these LLVM targets:
| **LLVM Target** | **An Example GPU** |
|-----------------|---------------------|
| gfx900 | Radeon RX Vega 56 |
| gfx906 | Radeon Instinct MI50 |
| gfx908 | Radeon Instinct MI100 |
| gfx90a | Radeon Instinct MI210 |
| gfx940 | Radeon Instinct MI300 |
| gfx941 | |
| gfx942 | |
| gfx1030 | Radeon PRO V620 |
| gfx1100 | Radeon PRO W7900 |
| gfx1101 | Radeon PRO W7700 |
| gfx1102 | Radeon RX 7600 |
AMD is working on enhancing ROCm v6 to broaden support for families of GPUs in a
future release which should increase support for more GPUs.
