Re: [darktable-user] Does OpenCL require the AMDGPU-PRO driver?

Hi

For what its worth... I just acquired a new system that includes a RX480, running fedora 25. It terms of getting the GPU working, it functions with mesa, but lacks the "image support" required for full darktable support of CL.

With respect to amdgpu-pro, I've been working on installing it as recently as today, from what I can tell, we need to wait for the driver to be updated to support xserver-api(video-drv-23) (Xorg 1.19 (just released mid Nov 2016)). Installing it currently fails on xserver-api(video-drv-19) but seems to leave the driver partially installed without detriment (status from Xorg.0.log).

Having updated to a new system with an i7-6700k and faster hardware overall, I'm having no real issue working without OpenCL for the moment, hoping that patience will pay off shortly with the required update. What functionality will be in place at that time will be the interesting bit.

With that in mind, I'm still experimenting.

Regards.

Hi,

I am interested in buying an AMD RX480 video card for the OpenCL performance in darktable (and open source drivers). However, I first need to know if OpenCL is only in the in the proprietary AMDGPU-PRO drivers?

I am running Fedora, and from what I can tell, the AMDGPU-PRO driver isn't available in Fedora. Only the open source AMDGPU driver.

Is anyone running darktable on Fedora with an AMD RX470/480 and OpenCL enabled?

Thanks,

Riley
