As posted before by other person in this topic AMD don't currently support ROCm on consumer hardware. So you won't be able to run anything that is built for CUDA on these new cards.

"One big benefit of using the packaged driver: working ROCm OpenCL compute! OpenCL compute benchmarks on the packaged driver are coming in a separate article today. The OpenCL/compute support for Radeon RX 6800 series is working and better off than the current RDNA 1 support. It's great to see things working in the limited testing thus far. Presumably for the imminent ROCm 4.0 release they will also have the Big Navi support independent of the packaged driver, but in any case great to see it coming."

I don't think this is true for the Rx6800 series based on this Phoronix article. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd-rx68...

Yeah, hopefully the early information is accurate.
