Thank you very much, Vuk. Just tried it and it works. This should get me by while I save up for a new GPU. The main thing I need is the viewport render preview which I use a lot and the CPU is just not fast enough.

As mentioned in the release notes, we only support graphics cards with GCN architecture 2.0 and above).

This is a threading conflict between viewport and render thread. Trying rendering Fullscreen should help here.

Thank you.
I'm relatively new to blender, and since it was like that in the previous version I was using, thought it's a bug.

As one of the 2.79 features the output video formats were simplified.

hi, i tested this and it works fine in rc2.
as this is externally developed, please report issues and questions here: https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?391401-Addon-Manuel-Bastioni-Lab-turns-Blender-in-a-laboratory-for-3d-humanoids-creation

Thanks, can confirm the issue indeed… But thing is, BI is being removed soonish in 2.8 branch, so there is very little chance this gets investigated and fixed at this point.

And the bug was introduced on rB272412f9c0d26.

It was working on v2.78a, and broken on v2.78c.

Please follow our submission template and guidelines, also read these tips about bug reports, and make a complete, valid bug report, with required info, precise description of the issue, precise steps to reproduce it, small and simple .blend and/or other files to do so if needed, etc.

Hi, new here but long time Blender user. Registered an account on this just to chime in on this bug.

It may be related to render settings of your .blend file or a forbidden composite node.

Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do from our side. Blender 2.79 has lots of optimizations and new features on OpenCL for AMD which requires decent compiler support. OpenCL compiler for older cards has some bugs which we can not resolve from our side, and AMD is not supporting compilers for older cards anymore.

Some parts of Blender Internal are not fully watertight, and some of the mare quite tricky to solve (there was quite some work on this in the past).

Thanks for your detailed answer. I rated this as a bug because the floor reflection is correctly sharp while the wall reflection is sharp in the render progress and will be blurred extremely by the denoising what will falsify the result.

Please let us assign the priority, Needs Triage is there to indicate that a developer needs to evaluate the report.

Before opening this task I talked to @Bastien Montagne (mont29) over IRC and we could not find a real good reason for this feature. So I created this task to get some deeper discussion.
I do not think that the bf-funboard has ever really been a good place where users actually get feed back from there ideas, so I would rather open the task here.

Design tasks are mainly for developers, who wants to present their design for a particular project and get feedback. It is not for functionality discussions. For such discussions please use bf-funboard mailing list.
