LetoAtrell Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Hi! Since I switched my graphics cards to RTX 5090 FE Affinity Photo is not working properly anymore. If I try to export an image the result is showing some weird offset and if I move the window after the export the image shown in AD will be fragmented and looks way off. This is happening for AD 2.59 and also in AD 2.60. Quote
Staff NathanC Posted February 26 Staff Posted February 26 Hi @LetoAtrell, This is an issue relating to hardware acceleration/OpenGL affecting the 50 series cards currently logged with the developers for further investigation. If you disable Hardware Acceleration under Edit -> Settings -> Performance and then restart the app when prompted to this should resolve the issue for all further exports. Just so I can pass this info along, can you confirm your running the latest game-ready Nvidia driver version (572.47)? Quote
LetoAtrell Posted February 26 Author Posted February 26 Disabling the Hardware Acceleration indeed fixed this bug for me. I'm currently running the latest Studio Driver version 572.16 NathanC 1 Quote
Staff NathanC Posted February 27 Staff Posted February 27 Thanks, try updating to the 572.60 game ready driver, rebooting and then toggle H/A back on and see if the issue is still present, appears to be a potential driver issue fixed by Nvidia. Quote
LetoAtrell Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 572.60 Studio driver did not resolve this issue! Quote

LetoAtrell Posted March 23 Author Posted March 23 Not gaming on my machine so sticking to Studio Driver ... new version 572.83 still not working Quote
fefe777 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 I can report the same problem for 5070Ti (newest drivers) Quote
roguebantha Posted March 25 Posted March 25 I'm also having similar problems on a 5070 with driver version 572.83. Looking at Log.txt I see a LOT of lines like the following: [OpenCL] Error -9999 (430): Could not wait for event! [OpenCL] Error -9999 (430): Could not wait for event! [OpenCL] Error -9999 (430): Could not wait for event! [OpenCL] Error -9999 (430): Could not wait for event! [OpenCL] Error -9999 (442): Could not flush! [OpenCL] Error: Unknown error executing clFlush on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (Device 0). Quote
elevencore Posted March 26 Posted March 26 (edited) Same issue with a 5090 here. Only way is to disable Hardware acceleration. Edited March 26 by elevencore Quote
PhatMonkey Posted April 3 Posted April 3 I can confirm this, received a 5090 yesterday same results Driver 572.83 Quote
Staff MEB Posted April 3 Staff Posted April 3 Thanks for the feedback @PhatMonkey. I’m afraid there’s still no solution other than disabling hardware acceleration. Report bumped/updated. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
roguebantha Posted April 3 Posted April 3 MEB do you have an idea of when this issue might be fixed? Is this an Nvidia-side issue or an issue with Affinity? Quote
cohimare Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Same issues here with ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 ti and game ready driver 572.83. Quote
Wyldbiz Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Same issue - Brand new Falcon Northwest Fragbox / RTX 5080 / driver 572.83 game ready driver Quote
LetoAtrell Posted April 7 Author Posted April 7 Affinity Photo Update 2.6.2 did not fix the issue. Quote
Tosz Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Same issue on my MSI 5070ti / Win 10 / Studio Drivers up to date. Solution disabling hardware acceleration help but have hope that this will be temporal thing. Sometimes i have same problem on my RTX 3080 but now it was permanent in every time when i try open new project. Quote
cohimare Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Installed new 576.02 game ready driver today for my ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 ti. The new nvidia driver didn't fix the issue. Attached an image I have compressed to lower .jpg resolution with affinity photo 2.6.2 / hardware acceleration = ON. Needless to say that the orginal image wasn't just a photograph of grey blocks. Quote
roguebantha Posted April 18 Posted April 18 NathanC posted something here about trying the new driver then deleted it. It seems like Affinity is expecting the fix to happen on Nvidia's side as opposed to on Affinity's side. I'm not familiar enough with OpenCL to know if that's reasonable or not. Or maybe they're struggling to root cause the issue and just hip-fire hoped that Nvidia's new driver would fix it without having to make any changes on the Affinity side - which might not be unreasonable either, but clearly it didn't fix it Quote
roguebantha Posted April 18 Posted April 18 After reading a bit more about at least the set of OpenCL errors I'm seeing in the logs, it does seem likely to be a GPU driver issue. Perhaps a local Affinity-based fix is possible with some significant effort but it might be a safer bet to hedge that Nvidia will fix this eventually. I'd be curious to know if Nvidia is tracking this OpenCL issue from their side at all. Quote
cohimare Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Installed new 576.28 game ready driver today for ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 ti. Same issue as before with affinity photo 2.6.2 when hardware acceleration is ON. Since they don't talk to us, we can only guess it .. it seems that both nvidia and serif wait for the other to fix it. Quote
Tosz Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Yes i also test it and one more time switched off hardware acceleration. Quote
Esteban2049 Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Just wanted to add my 5090 issue to this: I can't start a new document in any Affinity apps with my 5090 selected for Renderer. I have to select WARP to let me do that. It just hangs the application completely. Nvidia driver 576.40 here. Quote
maciejrosiak Posted May 19 Posted May 19 I am looking into solution for soooo many months, they still didn't fix it I am so disappointed, that they just don't give a F. Affinity seemed like great promise of photoshop without being harvested, but the way they don't care is hilarious, you really think nobody uses rtx 5xxx? Or is it just calculation, that it's not worth to care about this small amount of users? Quote
Esteban2049 Posted May 19 Posted May 19 It's a little strange. My machine is fast enough, i dont really care but i did waste 20 minutes trying to figure out why i couldnt use any of the tools. Quote
