Whenever I select GPU rendering it displays an error message. I have a Radeon RX Vega 8 GPU but still it doesn't get to work. I tried selecting only GPU rendering in Preferences tab but still it doesn't work in Blender.
The Error shows like this: Split kernel error: failed to load kernel_path_init.
This happens every time I select GPU rendering.

It seems to be a problem with the Radeon RX cards if I understand this bug report correctly, updating the card drivers can help in some but not all cases as far as I've read:

There isn't any update available to my card driver recently but still I hope this error gets fixed soon. Thanks for the information. – MetalDashx333 Apr 13 '21 at 14:38

Well, some comments there also say that the driver update didn't help them, so I keep my fingers crossed for you this will be fixed soon. – Gordon Brinkmann Apr 13 '21 at 14:40
