Compositor47 Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 I've had to switch over to using my Adobe Photoshop app which uses the same graphics card and it uses open CL perfectly well. Are you sure that it is the card at fault or the Affinity Photo Application, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that Photoshops OpenCL implementation is different from Affinity, hence they are able to have this option enabled for you. I hope this clears things up Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
