GPU Driver not available

Open SergiySeletsky opened this issue 5 years ago • 14 comments

Hi, it would be great to have GPU acelleration for Windows on RPi 3/4. Now Windows UI is too slow for any usage. What is blocking finishing this driver? Any help needed?

Hi,

Having a GPU driver would improve the performance significantly indeed, but as far as I know, no one is interested in writing one.

there was one but its old and not realy good to work with for normal use its a driver based on an sample render solution wich is not completely working.

after trying it my clean w10 crached and refuses to boot

There was an announcement on the WoR Discord yesterday that GPU drivers are being worked on right now.

I don't want to ruin anyone's dreams, but without implication from Microsoft, Broadcom / RPi Foundation, this has almost zero chances of happening in the near future. The same goes for Wi-Fi. (there aren't any drivers even for USB WLAN adapters at the moment)

As far as on the discord its stated the base is there but will take more time due to no source availeble but they say they are still on it working

It's already 2 years already, is the 3D acceleration thing working on Windows 11 on Raspberry Pi 4 now?

No , probably it will not in the near future as well, if it was there already it was announced already

writing drivers from scratch is not an easy nor quick task to do, so please be patient

sojab0on avatar Jun 28 '22 11:06 sojab0on

Alright! Thanks for the info.

nguyenthienminh avatar Jun 28 '22 15:06 nguyenthienminh

Please be patient? Project is mostly dead, even domain has been lost

Ampere guys got ARM WDDM driver for ASPEED AST2500 video: https://twitter.com/x86corez/status/1681391025175003144, so now there should be higher chances.

Just need a good documentation for the Broadcom VideoCore. The WDDM is already documented enough.

However AST2500 seems only to have 2D acceleration support. And I'm curious if there's anyone working on the gpu driver.
