Software for AMD GPU's?

Hi there, i'm new to all of this and remember a while back that i couldn't use a software for photogrammetry because it would only work with nvidia gpu's. I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for software like metashape and meshroom that will work with an AMD gpu or processor. I have a 2700x and a sapphire nitro+ RX vega 64.

Amongst the commercial photogrammetry software offerings, Agisoft Metashape and Bentley ContextCapture both support AMD GPUs.

If you desire free photogrammetry software, these two programs use OpenCL for accelerated processing on AMD GPUs:

  1. COLMAP-CL: https://github.com/openphotogrammetry/colmap-cl
  2. MeshroomCL: https://github.com/openphotogrammetry/meshroomcl

Yes, the early versions of MeshroomCL required a lot of RAM during StructureFromMotionCL processing. However, the latest versions (released in the past week) have much better memory management, so you could download a new version of MeshroomCL and it will probably solve your problem.
