What is the issue?

The Ollama lists Vega64 in the announcement, but running it says it's not supported.

Tried with fresh install of Ollama 0.1.33 and 0.1.34 on Win10.

Tried to install HIP (AMD-Software-PRO-Edition-23.Q4-Win10-Win11-For-HIP.exe) with no success either.

It looks like you're correct, and the ROCm Library from AMD on windows has a reduced set of GPUs it supports compared to Linux. Our GPU list was based on the Linux support matrix and we missed this gap on Windows in the underlying library.

Windows 5.5.1 and 5.7.1 ROCm have Vega (gfx900) out of support and I don't see prior ROCm releases available for Windows.

I don't even know if it is supported on Linux:
https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/docs-5.7.1/release/gpu_os_support.html

Btw, do you know if it's possible to use Linux ROCm with Ubuntu on Windows WSL2?
My vague understanding, WSL has direct access to Win GPU and thus is powered by the Win driver, not the Linux one.

Unfortunately given the changes in ROCm on windows, this has fallen off the support matrix. I've updated the build and docs to make this clearer for Windows in #5815. It may be possible to build from source on an older ROCm library, but for the official release, we'll need to stay current to pick up bug fixes for the newer GPUs.
