Hello all, I seems I have an issue with xmrig-amd while mining rx/wow. Similar config is fine on xmrig minig via CPU, but for AMD it gives me error as rx/wow is not known algo.

same here
It's not in the release code yet.
You would have to compile from the evo branch and even then it's slow, mainly because it's an anti-GPU algorithm on purpose (designed to run only on CPU, or very wasteful non-profitable on GPUs). The newest code #270 is way faster and works on Vega or Polaris only, but "way faster" gets the same rates as a relatively slow and small (cheap) Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4160 CPU @ 3.60GHz and is super nasty for the comparative watts used and heat created (and compared to what you'd get on CN-R or others).
