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]].

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> config variable, 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 the chance of pointless recompilation on~~ your ~~machine.~~

The below example is Blender-specific. For more general information on enabling ROCm/HIP in your configuration, see: [[AMD GPU#Enabling ROCm & HIP For Packages]].

~~To activate the flag globally, run the following.~~

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

Or, ~~override specifically Blender with~~ HIP ~~support~~.
