Photoshop :: NVidia Quadro FX 1300 - CS4 - Sloooow!
Dec 18, 2008
I have a dell 690 workstation with an Nvidia Quadro FX 1300. The problem is Photoshop CS4 is running super slow. It is impossible to get any work done. When I look under Preferences - Performance , under GPU settings, the Detected Video card is empty and the "Enable OpenGL" and "Advanced settings" are both disabled. I have the latest FX driver from NVidia installed.
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 got a brand new HP Mobile Workstation (See spec below sig) with a NVidia Quadro FX2800M graphics card and I have had the blue screen of death 3 times in the last week while running IV2012. I think it's a graphics card problem and when I try to find driver detail on the AutoDesk or NVidia website it looks like my card isn't certified.
Does the FX2800M isn't supported and if not why?
Product Design Suite Inventor Premium 2012 - SP1 Installed HP 8760w I7-740M Laptop Windows 7 Professional 64 12 Gb DDR SDRAM AMD FirePro M5950 Graphics Card
I've recently installed Photoshop CS4 along with the production premium package on my workstation, a Dell Precision 690 (XP 64 bit).
The video card in this workstation is listed under the device manager as a 3450/4000 SDI - I installed the graphics driver for the Quadro FX 3450 dated January '09, and I'm still unable to use openGL features in photoshop. (Graphics hardware acceleration is unavailable)
I read that the 3450 is not on the supported/tested list of video cards released for CS4.
Any ideas on a fix for this? Tomorrow if I have no answers or options I'll just re-install CS2. CS4 is about 5x slower than CS2 at the moment, drawing on-screen with large files chugs along in square chunks, where it would display perfectly smooth in CS2, with only very minor hangs when zooming large (100mb+) files.
I have a Dell Presision T7400 workstation with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5482 @ 3.20Ghz with 16gb Ram. When I go to properties in Photoshop CS4, the area to enable GPU acceleration is greyed out and wont le me enable this feature, which is a pain as Ive just got a new Wacom Intuos 4 with touch wheel for rotating canvas. Ive read some of the article regarding this on this forun but they tend to relate to Intel GPUs in laptops. My workstation is pretty high spec and quite new, around 12 months old. Ive also just downloaded the latest drivers for my graphics card.
The performance was fast without OpenGL(Fast Previews > Off), with my old graphic card, GeForce GTS250. After I upgrade the graphic card to Quadro 5000, it's really slow with exactly the same settings.
We're setting up a new HP z820 with a Quadro K4000 card. When we look at After Effects CS6 preferences, the Ray-tracing settings don't allow it to select GPU and the CUDA box is greyed-out. The OpenGL box does show the the Quadro card... Seems something is not right here.
I am using Premiere Pro CS6 and have Nvidia Quadro K2000 graphics card. Â The 'video rendering and playback' section of the project settings is grayed out, not allowing me to access the mercury playback engine at all. Â How I can use mercury acceleration with this card?
I have an end user who is currently using a dual 27" LED monitor setup with a NVidia Quadro card (it's an older one). Â There is no rendering going, so I was wondering if let's say an ATI 6000 Series would be sufficient for it since looking at the list Autodesk has, the newer Nvidia and ATI consumer grade cards aren't listed.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Just recently Photoshop CS5 64-bit has not been detecting my GPU. It was working perfectly fine for over a year until about two months ago after, I guess, a driver update? I'm not sure which version may have caused it to happen but I just upgraded the driver to the one that was released today on Nvidia (GeForce 306.97 Driver), doing a clean install, and Photoshop is still not detecting the card...It's frustrating as I'd like to be able to use the Open GL functions again. I also have two hard drives if that could be any source of the problem. Â To elaborate, I am running an SSD (C:) and an HDD (E:). I have Photoshop and my GPU drivers installed in C:. Â Anyways, I opened up preferences and tried switching the scratch drive to E: and restarted Photoshop. I got an error saying "Could not open a scratch file because of a disk error." Pressing "OK", I received another error message "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invaled (it has been deleted)". Pressing "OK" again gets Photoshop to start up and suddenly it is recognizing my GPU and allowing Open GL functions. But as soon as I close out of Photoshop and re-open it, it's back to not detecting my GPU and has Open GL functions grayed out.
I searched the forums for similar issues and came across with the possibility of permission issues or missing TEMP folder...however the permissions look fine and there is a temp folder in my C: drive. What's with this? I'd love to find a fix ASAP as I use PS every day and it's starting to become a real work efficiency issue!
I am running a Dell XPS laptop (Windows 8 Professional) with the following graphics: Â Intel HD Graphics 4000 & Nvidia GeForce GT640M Â I have Photoshop CC installed (14.1.2) and everything is fine using the NVidia driver version 314.22, however when I try to update the driver to the latest version 327.23 (released 19 September 2013)Â Photoshop does not recognise the GT640M and will only use the Intel HD 4000!
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?
Running the latest 180.48 Windows XP driver for my nvdia GeForce GTX 9800, the OpenGL CS4 features wouldn't work until I disabled the PhysX GPU acceleration in this driver's new "Set PhysX configuration" control under 3D Settings in the nvidia control panel.
Using nvidia 7900 gs, XP Pro. The Photoshop CS4 "use open GL box" is checked in preferences and the GS7900 is recognized, but the open GL features of CS4 do not work. Does anyone know if this is an XP Pro issue or a 7900 GS issue. Anyone using a 7900GS on Vista?
How do I update nvidia drivers? Vista Home Premium 64 I have 9800 GT. I've down-loaded latest drivers but I'm not sure how to install. Do I need to delete present driver BEFORE installing? And, if so, how? OR, do I go to DEVICE MANAGER> DISPLAY ADAPTERS> UPDATE DRIVER?I'd like to be able to roll back, if necessary. I know this is a common thing for most, but I hate making any changes to my system.Â
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 install Photoshop cs6 trial on my PC, they are all pretty old equipments. Photo Shop CS6 shut himself down after i start it every time. Is that because of Graphic card?
Followings are parts of my PC.

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:
installed Photoshop CS4 and can't enable OpenGL. So I updated my Nvidia 7600GT driver and the driver info says, that OpenGL 3.0 should work, but Photoshop dosn't allow me to enable it.
First Photoshop doesn't recognized my GPU which is Nvidia GTX 680M. I'm using a new Alienware R4 with Win8 pro.
Photoshop CS6 doesn't recognize my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M GPU?
[URL] Â After following the instruction now Photoshop CC is supposely using my NVIDIA GPU, but it immediately crashed after launching, for both 32 bits and 64 bits. My NVIDIA driver version is 320.49 600 series, the latested one I just updated. If I deselect the NVIDIA option in the control panel I no longer suffer the crash problem but as you know there is a reported problem with Intel HD4000 integrated GPU where screen flickering keeps happening if you use a toolbox. To avoid the problem the only thing I can do is to deselect the use GPU option in CC option (changing the mode advanced setting doesn't work). By deselcting the GPU option get rid of the problem but there is another problem with zooming: it cannot zoom in real time anymore, instead it's having a toolbox where you choose a reagion and it will jump to that region, and I can only zoom in by doing this, not zooming out. Â So basically I had a problem with NVIDIA which crashes CC immediately and a problem with Intel HD4000 integrated GPU with flickering screen and another problem with no GPU selected where I cannot zoom in real time. Whatever I do always give me some sets of problem that I can't solve.BTW I haven't try CS6 yet, I may proceed to download a trial copy and I thought CC and CS6 are using the same core. Nevertheless, those problem should definately be looked into.
