  • Hmm gaming laptop… has AMD IGP and dGPU… I install one driver and it just works. No, Intel mixed with AMD or Nvidia nonsense, or AMD mixed with Nvidia.

    At work the graphics are all done in blender… and the HIP acceleration is 100% adequate for what we use it for.

    Sure there are cases still where you have to use CUDA but they are rapidly fading.


  • That’s because it IS crazy… if you want to use your GPU do it, instead of fiddling with drivers, if you have a problem its probably not going to be fixed by someone mix and matching driver binaries into a mess.

    Same with OCing… I don’t do it on machines I want to just work, I keep drivers stock and upgrade them periodically and don’t really have issues.

    Also, don’t leave your PC with updates partially installed reboot if it needs to because you end up in update limbo with whatever it was upgrading being broken untill you reboot.
