Darktable and AMD RX550

Hello,

I would like to upgrade my old graphic card with a new AMD Radeon RX550 to be able to use OpenCL with Darktable photo processing.

- So is there someone who can confirm OpenCL is working with no trouble with this hardware and the free open source driver?
- Any other hardware advise?

darktable – OpenCL feature requires at least 1 GB RAM on GPU and Image support (check output of clinfo command).

mesa-opencl on amd cards doesn't have image support

The proprietary opencl-amd does and tends to work well together with the opensource driver.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
