Is there any way that I can make GPU renders now that is no more flgrx for Ubuntu !? I've already installed the mesa-opencl-icd and the clinfo appears to recognize my GPU: Platform Version OpenCL 1.1 MESA 11.2.0 and Device Name : AMD HAWAII (DRM 2.43.0, LLVM 3.8.0)

I'm using:

  • Ubuntu 16.04 x64
  • xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
  • AMD Radeon 390
  • Blender 2.77a x64

  • Unfortunately, the free software drivers are unlikely to provide the same level of fidelity, since they'd have to reverse engineer a pretty complex piece of hardware. If at all an option, it is best to use the proprietary drivers (I know...) or just stick with the CPU – someonewithpc Jun 05 '16 at 15:46

    @someonewithpc The open source amdgpu driver is the official AMD driver. AMD even recommends everybody use it in most cases. On the other hand, AMD recommends the closed source amdgpu-pro driver for softwares that require certified drivers. amdgpu has better performance anyway, so use it when you can. – Omar Emara Jan 02 '19 at 13:23

    While I am not sure, mesa-opencl-icd is just an icd loader, not an OpenCL implementation. So you need to install the implementation as well, probably libclc-amdgcn. If that didn't work, try using the new ROCm 2.0 implementation instead. – Omar Emara Jan 02 '19 at 13:29
