Hi, the original poster is on Debian testing, that's not supported by AMD. The Debian nVidia packages should work fine. For me, this has been enough to choose nVidia, I'm using Debian testing with a 750Ti, and it just keeps working through a lot of updates. Of course switching to distribution supported by AMD (like Ubuntu 16.04) is also an option. In that case, distribution updates (eg. to Ubuntu 17.04) may be a problem.

You need OpenCL, i.e. at present a proprietary graphics card driver. I moved from openSuse to Ubuntu because of the AMD driver. Fedora should also be possible. I use Darktable 2.2.5 with the AMD RX 460, running with Xubuntu 16.04.03. The card should be about 120 Euro, pay attention to the type of RAM on the card. Propriatary driver: https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Driver-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx The AMD opensouce driver with any distro is well supported and should be sufficient for most of the work. cu Peter ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected] ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
