AMD HIP Rendering on a 9070XT is not actively rendering

Hello there,
Is ok for you, if I may attach my current issue in this thread?

Right now, I cannot render in raytracing mode / cycles using my 7800XT via AMD HIP. It falls back to my cpu. AMD HIP Pipeline was working some months ago (And it was fast :slight_smile: ) but since then there have been Rhino updates and I am running current drivers 25.12.1. I don’t know which update broke raytracing. :thinking:

Same in Rhino 9 WIP, the AMD GPU is yellow and seems not to be ready

Any ideas? Thank you!

Edit: just tested. Rendering using HIP in blender does work

Please run clinfo > hip.log in a cmd.exe or powershell, then share the resulting hip.log file here.

Thank you Nathan!
Here is the hip.log file

Your GPU architecture is gfx1101. We supply pre-built kernels for this architecture, so I’m not sure why the compiler log would say the HIP binary can’t be found.

I’ll loop in @lars in case he gets in the near future a chance to look deeper into this.

Just did a clean removal of the old driver and installed the new 26.1.1 but AMD hip is still not active.

Falls back to cpu use.

Hello, same here on pro W7600 on windows 11 ! very annoying please help us ! :wink:

Could you please run the command _SystemInfo in Rhino and reply with the full result.

Sure, here it is

The driver is very new but there is a newer version available. Could you install the drivers with the custom/advanced options and look for the clean install or factory install option. Run the installer and restart your machine.

Could you also please make a screenshot of the folder content at location: C:\Program Files\Rhino 8\Plug-Ins\RhinoCycles\lib

Hi Lars, thank you for your help. The link you provided does not work. It redirects me to “Download Not Complete“-page. If I look for the latest Driver there is only the 26.1.1 WHQL listed (from 2026-01-21), no betadriver or else.

Sorry about the broken link.
According to the system report you sent you have a driver from 2026-01-08 installed. I was hoping you could try to install the driver from 2026-01-21. Is there an option to do so when you press the 3 dots on the right?

Hi Lars,

no problem. I think the 2026-01-08 is the internal date of the driver and 2026-01-21 is just the public release.

If I remember correctly it was at least august or september last year when HIP was still working. Just tested (new) blender 5.0 and there HIP is working.

I hope we can resolve this issue :slight_smile:

Best regards.

@bodzguard I tested different driver versions. The latest good driver is Adrenalin Edition 25.9.2 with the Release Date 2025-09-18. Install the driver with the factory reset option enabled and recompile kernels inside Rhino (Tools->Options->Rhino Render) in case you want to give it a try.

hello, is it better to use the “pro” or “adrenalin” edition ? with w7600 pro we use the pro version…

thanks

Thank you for testing different versions of the driver! 25.9.2 seems to be in the time period when i remember to function it the last time. Unfortunately with 26.1.1 came the ROCm support which I am depending on for the moment. I am thoroughly testing right now. (now ComfyUI and its new supported LLM models work very easy with AMD). Ahh. Reverting back to 25.9.2 means I should backup and pause the LLM stuff to test HIP rendering if it works again on the old driver. I will think about it!

Всем привет. У меня на ryzen 7640hs видео radeon 760M. Та же самая проблема. Рендеринг происходит с помощью процессора, видео не задействует, в настройках тоже HIP горит желтым и выдает что то типа перекомпиляция невозможна, как и у здесь писавших. Драйвер стоит последний от 2.2.2026, до этого стоял последний от 2025 года, потом от 1.1.26, изменений никаких. Blender и Nomad Sculpt при этом на 100% задействуют видеадаптер

We fixed the issue in Rhino 8.30 release canidate which should be availble next week.

8.30 RC Works for my 9070XT!!! Thanks for the fix!

Странно. На сайте последняя версия 8.29 от 4 марта. А где найти 8.30 ?

You need to change the update frequency to “Service Release Candidates” in Rhino for that to automatically download and install.
