Michail Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 My older graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250) is unfortunately not supported by the new hardware acceleration. Will more graphics cards be added in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted September 21, 2020 Staff Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think it's down to the driver. If the driver supports OpenCL then we should. If it doesn't, we can't.

Mark Ingram Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 @Michail, do you have the following file, "C:\Windows\System32\OpenCL.dll" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK - that means your graphics driver didn't ship the OpenCL driver, so in this case, there is nothing we can do, sorry. You could see if there is a later driver for the card from the card manufacturer. Michail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEcHNOpls Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hi, @Mark Ingram, I have a rather new card (GTX 970, it's 5 y.o. iirc), and I do have that DLL present. Yet, I don't see AP support HW acceleration for me. Any ideas? "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK, I sleep all night, and I work all day..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim_L Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 5 years are lightyears away. Even the latest beta drivers I could find are from 2015 resp. 2017. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezumi Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Thats... GTS 250 is... 11 years old. I am not a rich person but you can get something that is supporting OpenCL dirt cheap now. Out of curiosity - what CPU you are using @Michail? Has nothing to do with OpenCL, just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEcHNOpls Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Ok, did some poking, this opencl.ddll is from an older card I had installed previously on my machine. Strange, givent that nvidia claims OpenCL 1.2 compatibility. I'll reinstall my drivers to see if it helps. "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK, I sleep all night, and I work all day..."

TEcHNOpls Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 OK, now it works! Mark Ingram 1 "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK, I sleep all night, and I work all day..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEcHNOpls Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Fun fact, if someone has issues with openCL, you can ask them to delete the file and install the drivers again or at least verify the vendor/certificate in this signed DLL. (I'm running nvidia, but had a file signed by AMD). (apparently running nvidai installer will not overwrite opencl.dll if it's present) Mark Ingram 1 "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK, I sleep all night, and I work all day..."
