Affinity photo crashes

[Ladmen]

I have installed the newest drivers of gpu ( both integrated and Nividia - studio versions), I have choosen in Windows settings - Graphic Optios - to run the Affinity photo using the most powerfull gpu - in my case rtx3090. I have choosen in preferences of Affinity to use 3090 for rendering. Open CL acceleration on. And it seems like it still using my 2080s instead 3090 to do single gpu - when doing benchmarks often crashes, and always showin 2080 to do single gpu compilations.

I have still problems using acceleration - of course i want not to switch it off - it makes the software works much faster when is on for me. But it crashes from time to time. How to solve that ?

Additionally I wanted to ask about that, if I should keep my Intel integrated gpu in "on" ( UHD 630) - as I have read in your newses that you apply a lot of improvments to use it while working - or rather i should switch it off completely. Wanted to ask as well about if the extra option in board " Above 4g decoding" and " Resizable bar" in newest graphic cards can also made some extra problems to use the gpues. 

Please provide me some help. I tried all combinations so far and have problems all the time with Open Cl acceleration i need.

Hi @Ladmen

Hardware acceleration is a time-critical function and with the variety of possible hardware configurations, incompatibilities can occur. In your case, I would recommend disabling hardware acceleration. The speed loss is less than you believe.

Working on large photos raw files, or digital painting without using a gpu is much slower in most recent applications. In Affinity photo i see significant improvemnet while using gpu as well - inspite of that it kick me off recently.
