I have been using blender as a video editor for a few years now, but it has always rendered very slowly. I worry that I've installed a few too many drivers and something has gotten mixed up at some point.

For unrelated reasons, I'm about to do an OS re-install so I will have a clean Pop!_os installation with the default video drivers (mesa, if I'm not mistaken).

  1. What version of blender should I install?
  2. What drivers should I install, if any, for my Radeon RX 5600 gpu?

  • hey, I'm removing the "can you link me to a tutorial" from your question, because a) it's already pretty broad, and b) questions asking for such materials are actually off-topic by our close rules. Commented Mar 20, 2024 at 13:53

  • Are those compatible with Blender gpu cycle rendering, as opposed to something like openCL and HIP? Commented Mar 20, 2024 at 14:01
  • I don't know what that is. However, you have no other choice than that drivers, so, honestly: probably, but you couldn't change it if they weren't. Commented Mar 20, 2024 at 14:38
