With the deprecation of the <code>blender-hip</code> package,<ref name="deprecate-hip"> {{pull|463064}}</ref> the easiest way to add Blender with HIP support is now with the <code>rocmPackages.blender</code> package. Other methods are to use the <code>rocmSupport</code> flag the same way as [[#The cudaSupport Flag|#The cudaSupport Flag]], or to use a [[#Binary Packages|#Binary Package]].

Unlike <code>cudaSupport</code>, most if not all packages with <code>rocmSuppport</code> are built by Hydra and cached into cache.nixos.org. That said, it is still recommended to enable <code>rocmSupport</code> only as much as you will need it, to avoid that chance of unnecessary recompilation on your machine.
