      I really know very little about Mesa/LLVM as I've never tried to use it. The comments that follow are just guesses.  If I'm not stating things correctly, I'd appreciate being corrected by someone who knows more about this than I do.

      Firstly, your device is seen as 'TURKS' which is relatively old - Wikipedia tells me it's something like a HD6570 or HD6670, etc.  It has just enough VRAM (1GB) to allow the scheduler to send tasks for it but in the snip above you can see that the card itself doesn't have FP64 support which means that part of the calculations requiring double precision would be performed on the CPU rather than the GPU.  In itself that doesn't stop tasks being crunched - just slows them down.

      As I understand it, Mesa/LLVM is a work in progress to provide (amongst other things) support for hardware not directly supported by AMD's latest amdgpu/amdgpu-pro drivers.  The above snip makes it fairly clear that for the versions of Mesa/LLVM you are using, your card is not properly supported.

      Previously, cards that did have OpenCL capability were supported by the proprietary fglrx driver which has been deprecated.  fglrx would probably allow your card to crunch (just a guess) but is incompatible with recent versions of xorg.  To use fglrx, you would need to install an old enough version of your OS to have the 1.17.x version of xorg.  Later versions won't allow fglrx to be used.

      I have essentially the same problem.  I use lots of cards that work fine with fglrx so (for those cards - mainly Pitcairn series, a few Cape Verde and Tahiti) I've controllled my OS upgrades to allow fglrx to continue working.  I do this on the assumption that there will eventually be support developed for them.  Maybe they'll all die of old age before that happens :-).

      For your particular situation, since your machine has a nice new Ryzen 7 CPU, shout yourself a late Christmas present and upgrade your GPU to a basic Polaris series card :-).  Something like an RX 460 (if you can find one cheaply) or an RX 560 (just a little faster - not much) would do nicely without breaking the bank :-).  I'm running versions of both that don't need PCIe power connectors so don't consume much power - probably little more than your old card.  The output is good for the power used.

      Otherwise, I suspect you'll be waiting a long time for your card to be properly supported, if ever.

       

      Cheers,
      Gary.

        Thanks for your very good comment. Yes, for some months I had updated my OS without thinking to the fglrx-problem (I did not know about it).

        Your are right, and I will bought a RX560. (next year) ;-)

        Cheers,

        Peter
