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.

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.
if the Radeon HD 3650 GPU based video card is suitable for Photoshop CS4 rotation tool to work?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed the trial version of CS4 on a Dell Optiplex 745 running XP SP3 with a Radeon X1300 (with latest drivers) and HP2465 monitor. I have also installed LR 2.1 on the same machine a while ago and it works flawlessly. I have huge issues with the CS4 trial version.
1. when i open CS4, when I click on file, almost all the entries are greyed out - except for Import, Automate and Scripts. even Exit is greyed out. if I click on Automate and get back, I can do normal operations like open, open in bridge, etc.
2. when i click on the spot healing brush tool, CS4 crashes. Error signature says AppName: photoshop.exe, ModName: icm32.dll.
3. when i go to smart sharpen, in the magnified view, there is no change if i move any of the sliders. all i see is a flicker.
4. When I try to edit in CS4 from LR2.1, CS4 opens but it does not open the image file.
i find CS4 very flaky. i doubt it is the software as a ton of people are using CS4 successfully. I suspect the problem is with my confifuration - most likely display controller related.
Until this is resolved, i will go back to CS3 which works flawlessly on the same machine.
When I first installed Photoshop and tried Automate to put watermarks on my photos, everything worked fine. I gave that a break for a few months and today was trying to watermark some new photos. Since then there has been a driver update for my AMD Radeon HD 7900 to the Catalyst 12.8 drivers. I have the latest Photoshop downloaded from the website.
Â
Now when I try to use Automate and Batch, it starts then crashes abruptly. I've exhausted all efforts and have Googled for hours. I've tried uninstalling drivers to the 12.6 version of Catalyst, uninstalled Photoshop, reinstalled. Same problem. Under Performance, the Sniffer detects an error in the display driver. Some have suggested using software to sweep for old driver files. That's the only thing I haven't tried.

I know people had the same issue as this, but had to do with TWAIN but I don't have a scanner installed. I'm using Windows 7 64-Bit on an Intel Core i7-2700K

I just upgraded to Photoshop CS6. In anticipation of this new version, I upgraded to a new graphics card, ATI Radeon HD 5770, in my first slot. I have my main monitor, which is a Cintiq 21UX, plugged into that card. I still have two older graphics cards, both NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GTs, in slots #2 and 4.Â
I have two Apple monitors connected to the card in slot #4. When I first opened the program I received a message stating "Photoshop detected graphics hardware that is not officially supported". I checked under Preferences-Performance and it is only detecting my NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT and the "Use Graphics Processor" box is checked.Â
The new Radeon graphics card is not detected. I checked the list of Adobe tested GPUs and, if I read it correctly, it is listed as one of the approved cards. I'm working on a 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac running OS Lion version 10.7.3.Â
I have a iMac with a ATI Radeon HD 4670 GPU. In CS6 the 3D mode is grayed out and disable due to driver for GPU needing to be updated. When directed to manufacturer website for driver update, all drivers are for Windows, not Mac.Â

What happens is that Photoshop keeps running but the screen turns completely black. You have to close the application in the taskmanager.
Â
I'm running Windows 7 64 bits and CS6 master edition. System is completely uptodate and all drivers have been checked.
Will the AMD Radeon 7770 for Windows be supported for CS6? The Adobe specs do not list it for CS6 but do list all the AMD cards for CS5 through the 6000 series.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed CS4 on my Windows XP system. I immediately updated all the components to the latest versions. When I tried to run CS4, I got repeated error messages about GPU problems. When I tried to open Preferences, CS4 crashed, but only on the General and Performance tabs. I called tech support and they suggested getting the latest drivers for my video card. I did that (for one of my two video cards) and now I can run CS4, but no OpenGL.
Here's my system:
Antec P182 case
PC Power & Cooling S61EPS 610W Power Supply
ASUS P5E motherboard
Intel Q9450 2.66 Ghz CPU
Zalman 9700 CPU cooler

Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB hard drives (3)
Samsung SH-S223F DVD burner
Windows XP Home
I was able to update the video driver for the Radeon 3850 card, but there is nothing new for the Radeon 9250 card. With the newer Radeon 3850 driver, I can now run CS4, but in Preferences > Performance, the GPU setting is now grayed out for Enable OpenGL Drawing and it says "No GPU options available with Photoshop Standard."
When I remove the Radeon 9250 card and just use the Radeon 3850 card, the Enable OpenGL option is there and CS4 runs with it enabled. I conclude from this that the Radeon 9250 card and its driver don't support what CS4 needs, but the Radeon 3850 card and driver do.
I use two video cards because I use Colorvision Spyder3 Elite to calibrate and profile my two monitors, and it is my understanding that I need two cards to separately profile each monitor.
Questions:
1) What features in CS4 am I missing by running it with OpenGL Drawing disabled? CS4 seems to work similarly to CS3 when I edit an image, so maybe I don't need OpenGL... just wondering what OpenGL would give me.
2) Can someone recommend a video card that will run CS4 with OpenGL ... AND ... that will allow dual monitors to each be profiled separately? Or, perhaps I can simply replace the Radeon 9250 PCI card with a newer card that supports OpenGL. Suggestions?
3) I do not have the latest BIOS for my motherboard. Would updating the BIOS help with the OpenGL issue, or is this just a video card/driver issue? My system runs perfectly so I hesitate to update the BIOS -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
My graphics card is dying. To be exact, the fan on my old Radeon 4650 card is making strange noises from time to time and when it does, the temperature on the card goes up. It is time for a replacement.
Â
After looking at the various cards, I settled on the Sapphire 100356OCL Radeon HD 7790 OC 1GB DDR5 PCI-Express Video Card seen here:[URL]...\
Beside normal display tasks, I have two programs that use Open CL on the graphics card - Photoshop CS5 and WinZip. any Radeon 7790 based card with Photoshop CS5? If so, have you encountered any difficulties with Open CL activated in CS5?
I'm having a lot of glitchy problems with Photoshop CS6. I believe it's because of the graphics card. The image keeps disappearing and reappearing as I make adjustments, the Waccom table controls (for sizing brushes) suddenly stops working. When I touch the Waccom pen to tablet the cursor turns into a spinning tarus. I reboot, and it's OK for a little while, then starts acting up again. I've changed the Graphics Processor Settings from Advanced, to Normal, to Basic. Same problem no matter what.
I'm running on Windows 8. Intel i5 processors. The program is loaded on an SSD drive. The scratch disk is 3 TB so it shouldn't be a memory/space issue. The card driver is up to date.
i've looked on the radeon website to see if there are any driver updates for the radeon 7750 card.it has all updates for the 700 series but not the 7750. Any link for 7750 driver update.i've had cs6 extended for 4 months and ive not really used it because of the problems im having.gone back to using my old cs5 extended which i have no problems at all.

I just put in a new Radeon 5770 card (PCI slot 1) into my Mac Pro 2008 Quad Core which is running Photoshop CS3. Now, the cursor (on all tools) disappears when mousing over any open PDS document. In Indesign, the cursor for all tools shows and works - as well as other pragrams.Â
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was led to believe that GPU acceleration features (like smooth zoom and rotate) were supported in the PS CS4 Standard edition. Under GPU Settings, Performance Preferences, it states "No GPU options available with Photoshop Standard". To me this is misleading advertising - I would have considered the Extended version if I had known.
Maybe this will help others not make the same disappointing assumption I have. I think Adobe should make this clear in the future. It really does make me feel slighted.
Before opening an image in CS6 beta the 'Use Graphics Accelerator' is enabled; after opening an image, it is not and then an error is generated 'This feature requires graphics procesor acceleration . ' when attempting to use a filter/feature which requires HW acceleration. I have a supported graphics card, Radeon 6870, Windows7 64 bit, 8GB Ram. I've tried all 3 Advanced Settings.

Latest nvidia drivers. Windows 7. 64bit
Â
Edit: Installed newer Wacom drivers 6.3.2w3 which seems to have brought CS6 back to CS5s performance level after a reboot. Although brushes do still lag, especially the art brushes. Still not thrilled with performance yet.
Â
Photoshops brushes are still faster with GPU accell off though.
I currently own a laptop which I use heavily for image editing. It is powered by a very fast Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz and a power-efficient yet perfectly capable Intel X3100 integrated graphics chip.
My chip supports all of the necessary Shader versions, OpenGL 2.0, etc. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_X3100 ). However, when I visit the Preferences menu to enable the OpenGL acceleration, I am presented with a grayed-out option telling me I may need to upgrade my drivers or graphics card.
I have tried new driver versions. Certainly I should not have to purchase another card (impossible in a laptop in fact) seeing as my chip supports all of the requisite features.
I recently purchased Photoshop CS6. I've installed on Windows 7 and run updates. I've also today updated my graphics drivers to latest version (catalyst 12.8). I have an AMD Radeon HD 7700 which has 1024MB RAM. This card is on the list of supported cards.
Â
When I first load Photoshop I can look in "Preferences -> Performance" and see that the GPU has been detected correctly and 'Use Graphics Processor' is ticked.
Â
However after loading any image, including using "File -> New" to open an blank white image, the GPU is disabled. Looking back in "Preferences -> Performance" it tells me:
Â
"no gpu options available with photoshop standard"
Â
What can I do about this?
I currently have a Dell Precision M6700 which I had replaced my old laptop with in attempt to fix this very problem. I'm using Windows 7 x64 with Photoshop CC x64. Whenever I attempt to use my Cintiq 13HD with GPU acceleration enabled, the brush lags horribly on the smallest of canvases. Disabling GPU acceleration fixes it but I use many of the tools such as canvas rotation greatly. I've checked everything from spacing in brushes to trying different drivers.
My drivers for my 13HD are the latest and as are the drivers for the Firepro M6000. I'm extremely confused as AMD states that this is a certified adobe Photoshop gpu and the FirePro line is made with excellent Open GL support as far as I'm aware. I've searched other threads before with this issue and attempted various fixes to no avail. I'm especially baffled as this is a workstation class GPU.
I did this now just PS will not work. Under the window on performance it says "Graphics Hardware Acceleration unavailable upgrade video driver & possible video card". The only thing I can find in the hardware for video is Intel (R) G41 Express Chipset (Intel GMA 4500). I upgraded the driver and I still get a fuzzy screen with artifact everywhere. This is on a desktop computer with an LED monitor.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have opengl acceleration turned on and it usually works. Problem is that sometimes a document looses it's acceleration. I'm not sure when this happens, if it is when i switch between documents or when i switch between photoshop and other applications. I can rotate my picture, but at some point when I want to rotate, I just get message that says something like document has not acceleration turned on. Other documents may be alright.
Is there some control where I can turn back on the acceleration for a specific document when it has lost it? Is there some registry hack that would disable this loosing of acceleration of some documents (except the known hack which will force the acceleration on old gpu's).
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 need a fast gaming GPU for, well, gaming and a pro-level card so I can use the 10-bit per channel colour depth on my monitor with Photoshop and Lightroom. (Does LR 5 even support wide gamut screens?) I'm thinking of installing both in one PC, and connecting both cards to the same monitor (using a DVI and DP connector). I could then use the monitor input selector to decide which input to view.
Â
The question is, if I'm using the 10-bit colour card for Photoshop/Lightroom would I get any of the benefits of the gaming card when doing things like processing RAW files, applying filters, etc?
