 ##### Using HipBLAS
 This provides BLAS acceleration using the ROCm cores of your AMD GPU. Make sure to have the ROCm toolkit installed.
+To build for another GPU architecture than installed in your system, set `$GFX_NAME` manually to the desired architecture (replace first command). This is also necessary if your GPU is not officially supported by ROCm, for example you have to set `$GFX_NAME` manually to `gfx1030` for consumer RDNA2 cards.
 
 Windows User Refer to [docs/hipBLAS_on_Windows.md](docs%2FhipBLAS_on_Windows.md) for a comprehensive guide.
