I use a Radeon Pro W5500.

AMDs website leads me to
https://www.amd.com/de/support/graphics/amd-radeon-6000-series/amd-radeon-6900-series/amd-radeon-rx-6900-xt
for your GPU and proposes to download "Radon(TM) Software for Linux Driver  
for Ubuntu 20.04.3" which seems to be a different TGZ than what I am using  
(it has 1290604 vs. 1292797).

I cannot find the list of compatible GPUs for the particular package I have  
downloaded, the documentation only tells me about "Stack Variants" quoting  
from it (amdgpu graphis and compute stack 21.20 from the TGZ with 1292797):

| There are two major stack variants available for installation:
|
|  * Pro: recommended for use with Radeon Pro graphics products.
|  * All-Open: recommended for use with consumer products.

Hence it is clear that AMD proposes using the "amdgpu-pro" only with the  
"Radon Pro" graphics cards. Whether that also means that the driver is  
incompatible with "consumer products", I do not know.

Searching online yields these links:

 * https://wiki.debian.org/AMDGPUDriverOnStretchAndBuster2
 * https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-amdgpu-unified-linux-21-20

The second page indicates that "AMD Radeon™ RX 6900/6800/6700 Series  
Graphics" are compatible with the "Radeon(TM) Software for Linux(R) 21.20".  
Now whether that document is the correct one to correspond with my  
downloaded TGZ I cannot really tell. But if they match, it may as well  
indicate that it is possible to use that driver with your GPU, too.
