Compositor47 Posted August 26, 2022 Author 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

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
