Settings->Performance->Open CL not selectable on Windows 11 Pro with AMD Radeon RX 6600

I have two AMD Radeon RX 6600 GPUs in my AMD x570 Ryzen 9 5900X Computer. In DXO PhotoLab 5 and DaVinci Resolve the Open CL Setting works as expected, but not in Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher. See Screenshot for details.

Hi karstenschneeberger, 

Unfortunately this graphics card is not compatible due to it's issues with OpenCL, see the post below for details.

To me ist is the other way around... unfortunately Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher is not compatible with current Windows 11 Pro and high end AMD Ryzen/Radeon/Multi GPU... sorry, but this keeps me with Adobe Photoshop.

Please take a look at these. As previously stated this isn't just an Affinity issue, but a general performance with OpenCL on AMD cards beyond the 5000 series across the board.

Instead of Accelerating our software it slowed it down, which is why we disable it.
