About Hardware Acceleration (split)

funny but the kepler range has always had OpenCL vulkan and Cuda support in the past. It just seems for some reason that 700 series variants and some M mobile variants have just been dropped by nvidia in the drivers package, and thus for no reason, devs and affinity also no longer allows cuda and openCL hardware improvements - even on win 11. Rendering your system useless if its a AIO unit or a m variant not in the list for 500 onwards drivers.

 

shame - why can't we just force hardware acceleration?? its a tick in a box. There must be a way. I have cuda, i have vulkan and i have openCL. i mean the clue is n the 'open' bit!!! its opensource!!

My current error (reason for suddenly no longer supporting my mobile variant of a GPU since v2 came out) in Affinity photo is that i'm running an old operating system so I cant use GPU acceleration.

I'm on windows 11

won't be getting v2 until this is fixed or we can just enforce it. There is no valid reason for not supporting even a 7 series card when it clearly has over 1300 cuda cores, more than capable of accelerating the suite. if only i could just tick the box that thinks win 11 is older than win 10.

The available hw is useless if the driver does not support OpenCL.

Edit: It appears the Windows version uses DirectX 12. Does your card support it?

Please show us the output from the dxdiag command, with the output for each of your video cards displayed.
