  1. I‘m switching back to a Nvidia Geforce 3080ti and give the Radeon 6800xt to my son. This hurts me financially and I‘m just doing it out of despair. I could scream… I‘m a music producer and since I‘ve installed the Radeon my DAW (Cubase) has hickups too, as if the AP issues weren‘t enough... I didn‘t change anything except the GPU, so I guess the Radeon is to blame. I also have a Radeon in my gaming rig and I have zero problems there. Zero! Works like a charm and that’s why I thought, it’s a good idea to get one for my work PC as well. I didn‘t expect the trouble.
  2. I‘ve got a fast reply from Serif, but I‘m disappointed, because they blame AMD. This is what I got: „Hi Stefan, thanks for your message! I can confirm that Hardware Acceleration is disabled in Affinity with these cards due to a bug in the AMD OpenCL drivers - meaning unfortunately AMD need to repair this issue and not Affinity. Our head developer on Windows has been in contact with AMD to discuss this issue, and has provided a full benchmark here - https://github.com/MarkIngramUK/ocl-compile-benchmark As can be seen in these results, older AMD cards, Nvidias GTX 1660 & even Intel CPUs average around 20-50ms for OpenCL compiling. The RX5700XT took on average 1400ms. This shows that it is not the Affinity app at fault, and AMD need to provide a fix. I hope this clears things up!“
  3. I‘ve sent them the following message via Facebook and linked this thread, because I don‘t know if anyone is following this. We have to let them know, that we‘re out there and struggling. I don‘t know why Serif doesn‘t care about this problem since such a long time. I‘m so disappointed, but I don‘t want to give up hope… „Hello, I‘m a big fan of your software since some time and I absolutely love it and told everyone loudly. A couple of days ago I‘ve upgraded my rig from an old Nvidia card to a brand new Radeon 6800XT, just to find out, you‘ve disabled Open CL for all newer Radeon cards. This was a shock and I‘m still shocked, because I can‘t go back to Nvidia now. The problem remains unsolved since 18 months now and there are a lot of people despaired like me. Loyal supporters and customers like me, who even bought all your DLC, just to support you. Please, please, please fix the hardware acceleration for AMD cards! I‘ve told everyone how great your software is and now I‘m left alone like this. We‘re many and we don‘t know what to do now. You want us to go back to Adobe? Your loyal customers? Because this is what happens, if there is no light ar the end of the tunnel: we’ll go back to Adobe and you’ll lose us forever. No one wants that to happen! Don‘t leave us out there in the cold. Protect your hard earned reputation, that clearly took damage because of this! https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/136068-amd-radeon-rx-hardware-acceleration/page/6/ Kind Regards„
  4. I‘ve recently upgraded to a Radeon 6800XT from an older Nvidia card and I got strange flickering all over the screen. After some google searches I found the culprit. In my AP settings Open CL was activated, but it‘s not available with the 6800XT, so AP automatically switched to the onboard graphics card with a lot horrible performance. I‘ve read through the whole thread here and now I know that there is actually no solution and that I‘m not alone with this issue. I can‘t believe this problem remains unfixed since 18 months. I love Serif for their software and I need AP almost every da . What do I i do now with my expensive new GPU without hardware acceleration? I‘m shocked, just shocked… How is a big mess like this even possible for 18 months without a fix? I desperately hope they will fix it soon…
