Hi,
Could anyone help me understand why OpenCL is working so much better on Radeon RX Vega 10 in Windows than in Linux on the same laptop? In Windows, I'm getting a Geekbench OpenCL score around 8,000, but in Linux Mint it's less than 3,000. I'm hoping to use OpenCL to accelerate Darktable, but when I have OpenCL installed, darktable states that the GPU is too slow and it disables the GPU. If I run Darktable in Windows, it enables the GPU with a "very fast GPU" profile.
I noticed in clinfo output that Linus states I have 11 compute units, but Windows states 10 computes units. I'm only expecting 10 since it is a "Radeon RX Vega 10" integrated graphics. Even if I try another distro, like Ubuntu or OpenSUSE, clinfo states 11 compute units. There are some other things that don't match up between Windows and Linux clinfo, like cache size, which I'm wondering if it explains why Windows is operating better than Linux.

In Linux I installed the amdgpu via `amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl --opencl=rocr`.
This is the version of amdgpu-install: `amdgpu-install_22.20.50200-1_all.deb`

Thanks for any insight you can provide.
Have you tried contacting AMD at the link in the bottom of the contact us page?
Thanks for the suggestion. I have opened case 00356660 with customer support.
