Try to use OpenCL and you will need blobs. It's major pain to use blender(requires OpenCL if you want to finish render today) not long time ago their blob crashed on new versions libdrm.
- floatboth 8y agoThe blobs are probably the most stable option right now, but Clover exists (and kinda sucks) and the new cool option is the fully open ROCm stack which does include OpenCL. > requires OpenCL if you want to finish render today honestly, modern CPUs aren't that far behind in Cycles rendering
- greenpenguin 8y agoI'm using RocM OpenCL right now, which I believe is the approved option, or will be. Personally I've not had any issues with it - I can certainly use Blender with it, although the performance right now is so-so (I only have a cheap APU though, so hardly surprising). I don't believe I have any blobs, other than the firmware one, which is true regardless - can you tell me what blobs you mean?

- greenpenguin 8y agoI can confirm I don't have that installed. I'm using this: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm-OpenCL-Runtime https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm-OpenCL-Runtime Edit: actually Blender performance is decent, but the kernels take ~10 minutes to compile.
