Photoshop :: CS6 Constant 25% CPU Usage With Nvidia Card
Feb 23, 2013
i'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Cloud) and have the latest version installed. I experience a high cpu problem when i want to zoom in the picture, then sometimes the cpu load of the CS6 process is constant on 25%. I tried the graphic advanced settings in CS6 from light, normal, extended. With the light setting it happens not so often, but sometimes it is there.
Â
My driver version is 310.90, but this happened also with previous versions or with beta 313.96.My graphic card is a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 470 Super Overclock with two different monitors connected.
Â
I want to buy a newer Nvidia card in the near future, but it would be not so good if the problems persists.I can work more or less with CS6, that is not the problem, but the constant cpu load bothers me.
I've lost all of my 3D functionality as Photoshop CC is now only recognising my intel graphics card, not my nVidia GT540M. It was working perfectly last night, but mid video render it stopped. I have had both a nVidia and photoshop update around the same time. If it's a software issue due to the updates, is there are workaround until there's a patch?
I am about to buy a new computer to use with Photoshop CC and find that the GPU card (NVIDA G 635) is not listed among those that are compatible. Will that card still provide the acceleration that I need?
I have a Sony vaio notebook with an intern Intel hd graphics 4000 and an additional geforce gt 640m LE graphic card with 2 GB. PS CC can't detect my nvidia card. In PS at the settings -> performance menu there is no nvida card to select, I just can select the intern graphic card at the moment if it's activated. Â nvidia driver are up2date. Also have this settings done, but has no effect:
I've recently upgraded my Mac Pro's graphics card from an Asus 256MB 8400GS to a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470. Everything seems to work fine in CS6 suite apart from a weird anomaly where, dragging the 'Depth of Field' slider on a Photoshop 3D layer, Photoshop crashes. All of the other 3D controls appear to work fine, just the 'Depth of Field' causes the crash. Â I've tried disabling 'Open CL' and using the lowest settings, but I still get the crash. When I reinstalled the less powerful Asus card, I didn't get a crash and could use the slider fine. Would this be an NVIDIA driver issue, or Adobe bug with NVIDIA GTX cards?
I have been using PE10, but have just installed Photoshop CC v. 13.1.2 x64. Although my video card (nvidia GTX 670, 2 gb RAM) is recognized by Photoshop, when I check "use graphics processor" under "preferences/performance" the converted RAW image is somewhat blurred at all zoom levels (except 100%) compared to when it is unchecked and sharp (for both Canon 1100D and 6D). The
problem may possibly reside in the RAW conversion, because if I convert the file with "use graphics processor" unchecked, and then subsequently check it after it has been opened, the image is not blurry and I have access to all of the video card supported function/ artmar4 (intel i5-3670, 24 gb RAM, Windows 7, 64 bit).
I have never had anything go wrong before, so I do not know what to do about this, but I cannot do any 3D work. I was hoping to learn new skills. I am working on a Mac pro which is about five years old. Do I need to upgarde this card, download something for it? Buy anew card?
On my XPS 400 system I have a Geforce 7900GS 256MB card installed and on the other system, an XPS 730 H2C, I have dual GTX 280s.
Quadro cards designed for PS CS4 were simply way outside what I could afford. Just like I could not afford faster (above 7200 RPM) harddrives.
I figure, that is the experence of most PS license holders who visit and post in these forums.
My lay research tells me that "possibly" the biggest difference between, say my Geforce latest and greatest, and your Cadilac Quadro is in what the respective drivers are programmed to do.
I've just installed photoshop cs2 and every time I go to use the brush, my cpu does some major laggin. I've opened task manager while I begin to draw, and right when I start, the cpu usage shoots up to 100% usage. My specs are:
I'm using Win 7 64bit and CS6 64bit. Â However, when I do some heavy editing, like anything that takes a few minutes of CPU processing, I tend to look at the task manager only to find that 4 cores are utilizing 50% at max thus taking longer to compute the results. Â Is there a way to maximize CPU usage by Photoshop? I would like it to use 100% when performing tasks to speed up process time. Is there a windows plug in?
I am using Vista 32 bit with 4 GB ram installed ( 3gb availible ). In the Performance Settings the max. Ram allowed is 1620 Mb, not the 3gb availible. How can I use this?
After mucking around with the settings (trying to find out what all the features do), I found that each one of my brush-strokes would underlap the last.
In other words, I drew a green line down the center of the screen (using the paintbrush tool). When I try to draw a red circle (also using the paintbrush) over the center of the green line, the green line overlaps it. Both were on the same layer. How do I turn this off?
I've tried restarting Photoshop, searching the documentation, asking buddies, and rummaging through the features again.
I am encountering persistent program crashes with Photoshop 11 (CS4) when I have multiple layers (four or more) and the file size exceeds 75 mb. The error message that Photoshop has encountered a problem and is closing appears without further details. When I reopen PS, I then get the message about "Photoshop encountering a problem with the display driver and disabled GPU enhancement" despite the fact that I previously unchecked enable OpenGL drawing in the preferences-performance tab. It is blank on that tab after "Detected Video Card" whereas in CS3, it correctly notes the following video card. My video card is nVidia GeForce 7600 GT with the latest driver dated 10/07/08.I have 4 GB of RAM, however in the performance tab of preferences it notes 1.633 GB AM available and Photoshop using 960 mb. I also have CS3 (PS10) and do not encounter the same problem. The OS is Vista.
Trying to get a sense of the current GPU support for Photoshop. Particularly if Quadro offers better performance, display quality, and or stability relative to the GeoForce cards. Also is CS4's GPU utilization enabled or optimized using CUDA, Open GL and or CL. Does ATI or Nvidea have a better performing design for Photoshop use.
I am trying to use the clone stamp tool in combination with actions.
The idea: i have one image (say a shot of some landscape) where I want to do all of my retouching work. Since I only took the same shot at diffent exposures, I know that there´ll be no change in my composition ( object placement, etc.), so I want to reuse all what I done on my first image on this whole set of images.
But as I was trying to "capture" an action within Photoshop doing some "clone stamping", it did record the "Set sampling point of current application" but didn´t seem to record any strokes which I am trying to place on my image.
if I open a shot at say 4000x3000 pxs in CS4, all is normal, however, when I zoom to 66.7% the CPU usage jumps to 80-90% and remains there. At all other zoom levels CPU usage is as low as expected, this seems to apply to any file format and is totally repeatable.

I have PSCS3 Extended, using Windows Vista Ultimate 4Gig Ram Nvidia GTX 260. I have gone into EDIT>PREFERENCE>PERFORMANCE, and noticed available ram 1678, ideal range 922-1208, and below is the bar where you chose how much memory you use.But how do you calculate the optimum percentage for your system?
I am using the healing brush tool, it will just quit working. Am I just running out of memory enough to operate or am I missing something else. The puter will tell me I am running with 45% free. Perhaps the healing brush just gets tired, for I am healing a young teen's picts.
I just installed CS4 on a computer with 4 Gigs of RAM and Vista Ultimate, 32 bits. I have been led to believe that CS4 will use most of 4 Gigs of RAM if memory usage in Photoshop is set high... like 96%. With the preference set to 96%, the performance screen indicates that only 1.6 gigs are being used by the program. That is the same as CS3 and/or CS2. Is there some other setting in CS4 I need to be dealing with?
When I start photoshop and check the perfomance settings, it shows intel HD Graphics Family as the gpu and in advanced settings, openCL is grayed out. Is there any way to get photoshop to use the nvidia gpu? My specs are below.  Dell XPS 15z - i7 2640m - 16gb ram video: Nvidia GT 525m with 2gb Windows 7 x64 Photoshop CS6 Extended  I've got all the drivers updated to the latest. I've gone into the nvidia control panel and changed the preferred graphics processor to NVIDIA and set program itself to use nvidia. Don't know what else to do.
I noticed that Nvidia Tool (for creating normal maps) is only compatible with all CS versions but not with CC, how to install the Nvidia Tool or how or if it is compatible with Photoshop CC?
Just installed the latest nVidia drivers (190.38), and Photoshop CS4 (x64) keeps telling me to install the latest drivers in order to take advantage of graphics card acceleration. Running a GeForce 8600GT in Windows 7 x64 RTM.
I had a 8800GTS that PSCS4 said that i need to upgrade my graphic card. so i went out to buy a GTX295 and upgraded my driver to 182.50. and it still said i needed to upgrade my graphic card. so i went out to buy a second GTX295, and it STILL said i needed to upgrade my graphic to use openGL. how many more GTX295 do i need or I have to use quaddro?
It would appear that even with Nvidia's new Vista drivers 178.24 (today Oct 15) you will only get GPU support if you turn off SLI. Seems like a waste of a second video card. Hopefully Nvidia will get this sorted in the next release.
I'm running PS CS3 on Vista Home Premium, 1.86Ghz Intel core 2 processor, and 4GB RAM. I realise Vista only sees 3.3GB of this RAM, and I know Vista uses about 1GB all the time.
Question:
While running PS, and only PS, with no files open, I have 2GB of RAM, why will PS not let me scan a file that it says will take up 300Mb?
200Mb is about the limit that it will let me scan, but even then, the actual end product ends up being less than 100Mb. (around 70mb in most cases)I'm using a Dell AIO A920, latest drivers etc, and PS is set to use all avaliable RAM.
Not only will it not let me scan, once a file I've opened has used up "x" amount of RAM, even if I then close that file, "x" amount of RAM will STILL be unavaliable. This means if I scan something, I have to save it, close PS, then open it again before I can scan anything else.
Surely this isn't normal. Or am I being stupid and missing something obvious?
I've also monitored the memory usage during scanning using task manager and various other things, it hardly goes up at all, then shoots up to 70-80% once the 70ishMb file is loaded. Something is up because if that were true, I'd actually only have 1Gb of RAM, and running Vista would be nearly impossible.
It's not a Vista thing either as I had this problem when I had XP. In fact it was worse then, I could hardly scan anything, had to be very low resolution.
We recently upgraded our Adobe Creative Suite from CS3 to CS6. Now I am experiencing issues with Photoshop CS6 I have not seen in previous versions, it seems it cannot save files across a network any longer. If I try to work normally, saving my files to a folder on our server, PS crashes constantly. The new recovery mode is handy but time and space consuming= inefficient for our workflow. My work around is to save files to my Mac, and then copy them to the server later, which is Archaic and also inefficient. When I try to save a PS CS6 .eps to the server, it does not work any longer, I get the message; Program Error or a freeze and crash of Photoshop CS6.
Photoshop has been crashing on me lately. Glitching. Getting locked in brush mode so I'm unable to click on other options. Not showing brush radius at times etc. It is also opening a "auto recovery" image every time I boot the program which shows as a .psb file that I am unable to find on my computer. Going to the location shown in the save as window seems to not show when I manually go that location on my computer system. I took a screen shot of the file and it's location.

Im buying a new video card for my Photoshop PC, and Im trying to figure out if Photoshop supports GPU acceleration on both Nvidia and Radeon cards. Ive heard in the past that it only supported CUDA (Nvidia). I currently use CS5, but will update to CS6 at some point.
