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>pkgsRocm.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.

That said, it is still recommended to enable <code>rocmSupport</code> only as much as you will need it, to avoid the chance of pointless recompilation on your machine.

To activate the flag globally, run the following.

<syntaxhighlight lang="nix"> nixpkgs.config.rocmSupport = true; </syntaxhighlight>

Or, override specifically Blender with HIP support.

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [

pkgsRocm.blender

# (blender.override {config.rocmSupport=true;}) # (equivalent to `pkgsRocm.blender`)

# (pkgsRocm.blender.override {config.cudaSupport=true;}) # to compile blender with both HIP and CUDA/OptiX support

];
