GIMP Version: 2.8.14 Operating System: Linux OS Version: Ubuntu 20.10 GIMP Experience: Intermediate Level Hi, I use GIMP 2.10.24 under Ubuntu 20.10 and I would like to improve the speed of my workflow, using my nVidia RTX2070 OpenCL features. However I did not find any setting in Edit -> Preferences -> System Resources relative to OpenCL or nVidia (screenshot). Any idea would be welcome. Thx a lot.

![]() My installed Gimp 2.10.18 has an OpenCL setting but the later appimages I use are like yours. You are not missing anything 'cause OpenCL is experimental and it definitely causes crashes. It is not ready for Gimp users and I think thats why it's no in the menu at the moment. OpenCL seems hard to implement for devs. I use a basic OCL in Mandelbulber but it hasn't been finished for years. It definitely speeds up graphics rendering and I think bitcoin mining also. Blender may have a working OCL but I'm not sure about that. Anyway welcome to Gimp Chat from the Southern Hemisphere. |

You need to enable the "Playground" (.appimage / .deb package) and you will got this: ![]() To enable the .AppImage's playground you need to add --show-playground after the target in your menu example on my system (Ubuntu-MATE 20.04 / GIMP 2.10.25 from aferrero2707 continuous releases) ![]() you can also use the gimprc file More about it -> (I'm new to gimp-chat and have not right to post an url, sorry [Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs. ]) |

On the version 2.10.24 with ubuntu 20.10 it crashed when I use OpenCL with RTX2060, so i disable it to be able to work. It's a pity |

They are hardware level crashes and can scramble the user filesystem. |

Install 'clinfo' (sudo apt install clinfo) run clinfo from a terminal and copy the results here. You may have a graphics setup that works with Gimp OpenCL or you may not have an OpenCL graphics installed. |

Code: Select all $ clinfo OK I start to understand, I was always wondering why Krita sometime or after a while was kicking in my graphic card (fans start to make noise like a jet taking off with after burners ![]() I did made a reading mistake in the setting of GIMP and Krita and mixed up OpenCL and OpenGL... not really seing the difference between G and C So it seems that I don't have OpenCL installed... Am I right? If so, do you know how to install openCL (for AMD on Ubuntu-MATE 20.04, my card is a RX 580)? |

Sorry don't know about Radeon cards and OpenCL. I think it's built-in to the Ubuntu driver for Nvidia cards, I didn't do anything. You'll have to search it. ![]() |
