Are there versions of opengl would you have one that is new and not supported or recognized by the software. I have not idea but others will likely understand better. I think I saw something on a site that your card supported v 4.63?? or something…Hopefully someone can help if that is even a possibility??

opengl version is 4.6. What has opengl to do with opencl?
As mentioned above, I also tried to use a version of darktable that I compiled specifically for this system, shouldn’t that help with this?
Edit: On Debian, opengl version is also 4.6.
Just a typo sorry
OpenCL kernels are always compiled locally, when you start darktable (and it does not find the compiled versions matching your current video driver). You should see that if you run with the -d opencl command-line argument, but only if you first delete the already compiled versions (on Linux: ~/.cache/darktable/cached_kernels_for_{name of device}_{version of driver}, e.g. for me: cached_kernels_for_GeForceGTX10606GB_46080).

If you already have them, you won’t have the compilation step, only the loading messages.

Exactly. And there is only one cache for these kernels per video driver. So if you change the video driver the recompilation is enforced. But if you recompile dt and the new dt requires some updated kernels you will run into problems seen via the -d opencl option. If there is a kernel mismatch you will either end up with visual bugs or a fallback to cpu code - the fallback takes time again. BTW the installers make sure the opencl kernels are valid, but if you compile yourself on current master …
