Photoshop :: Upgrade Display Cards
Jan 17, 2009
Currently my display card is a NVIDIA Quadro FX 500/600 PCI. One of the reasons I chose this card is it supprted dual montors. Now that I have upgraded to CS4 Extended I need to upgrade my display card.
When I went to Adobe's List of tested graphics display cards for Photoshop CS4 and seen such a long list of cards for Windows.I thought I would come here and ask if any body else has upgraded theirs. I would perfere to go with a nVidia card. Do any of these cards support dual monitors? Or how can I keep using my two montors? Price wise $250.00 is the highest I can go.
which card to get?

I'm trying to set up my Dell U2711 monitor for use with 10 bit display (30 bit color) in Windows 7 via Displayport. I noticed that CS6 now has a "30 bit display" option in the Advanced GPU settings, and saw Chris Cox's commentary in another posting that CS6 no longer relies upon the GPU driver to enable 10 bit display.
Â
Has CS6 changed what video cards are able to work with 10 bit display?
Â
I know previously it needed to basically be either a AMD Firepro or possibly a Nvidia Quadro workstation class card with their advanced drivers in order to work. Can 10 bit display now work with the more mainstream Radeon HD 6xxx/7xxx or GeForce GTX 5xx/6xx cards? I'd like to buy a more powerful video card for general purposes, but not have to pay the very high price of a workstation class card.

With all the hoop-la over Photoshop being able to work with a 1:1 native pixel operation at the Apple WWDC, I'm wondering if it will be available as a simple 'upgrade' to the existing Photoshop CS6 package or if there will be a separate app available for a premium upgrade price. I'm told that it's spectacular - running Photoshop in native Retina display mode - it might even convince me to my a MBP-Retina.
Â
But I'm confused about the 'upgrade' path - I know that the capabilities have been announced but have read nothing about the upgrade - will it cost anything?Â

The problem is every time a file dialog is displayed (like, file/open or file/place) I immediately termintaes with the "Could not complete your request because of a program error." message. Nothing in the logs or console messages.I contacted support, but they were apparently reading from a script - they had me change /Library (not ~/Library, but /Library) to global read+write - NFW. I did it temporarily and it still didn't work.
Â
I believe my issue stems fromt he fact that my user account was created years ago, back when the default user group (its gid) = its uid. When I look in Users/Groups, it shows "staff" (which is gid 20), but the directory (and I assume its execute permissions) is set to 502, same as the uid. I tried to change the directory group ownership (the entire /User tree for this user) to gid 20, but it still wouldn;t work.
Â
Since it works for the other user (created in Mountain Lion), I assume it must be related to this legacy permissions situation, but I can;t figure out what I need to change. CC loads, and I can load a file from Lightroom, but it will not display the file dialog.

Things were working fine until I committed to the upgrade this morning, and then I got this message when I opened Ps CC:

I spend hundreds of dollars on PS - the best graphics program on the market - and yet it does not have a template for doing greeting cards. Or if it has I can't find it . So I am reduced to using Borderbund or some similar software.

Is it ok to use 2 identical video cards (Nvidia GT 120) in a Mac Pro with 2 monitors and PS? Any benefit or problems from using 2 cards - each monitor getting a seperate card?
There might be instances where I might need to run 3 monitors but it will mainly be 2 (a 21" and 24" NEC multisync's).

I took a photo for a family Christmas card, and am trying to make the card on Photoshop. This question will prove what an amateur I really am, but I am having trouble with layers. When I change the size or format of one layer, all of the layers change as well.
I can't seperate what I do on one layer from the next. Can someone please help me with this? Also; I can't change the size of my photo to fit it on the other layer. How do I change the background layer from the photo to the background I want?

Have I missed the hardware requirement of using on Nvidia Cuda based graphical card in my system? All the new blurfilters are causing a graphical cards break down. What happens is that Photoshop keeps running but the screen turns completely black. You have to close the application in the taskmanager.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bits and CS6 master edition. System is completely uptodate and all drivers have been checked.

I will test Photoshop CS 6 in my Windows x64 System. First I´ve got a Matrox P690 graphic card, but it won´t run with OpenGL 2.0. So I bought a new MATROX M9120 Plus x1 card in hope it will work fine with Photoshop. But the GPU OpenGL with rotation tool or other things won´t work, because the card seems to be not verified by Photoshop CS6. The drivers are the newest WDDM certified Matrox drivers from December 2012.
Â
Some infos from my system:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
16GB RAM
2x Intel Quadcore XEON CPU
Matrox M9120 Plus PCIe x1
Supermicro X7DBE motherboard

Which graphic cards are supported by Adobe ? I have a set-up including a MacPro and want to start using Adobe's Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4, but when upgrading my MacPro I want to create a set-up that IS supported by Adobe. So therefore I wonder what graphic cards are supported by Adobe.

I am thinking about buying an M9125 card from the new range of Matrox M series cards.
I have tried without success to find a review of this series and of the card I am interested in particular. Nor can I find any mention of it or its performance in a user forum anywhere. My display is a NEC2690 (26") running at a resolution of 1920x1200. I don't game and just want a new card for PS and Corel Painter work. I have CS3 and will probably move to CS4 idc.

I have three monitors connected to two separate graphics cards, an 8800GT and an FX5200 (PCI). Now, this setup works fine in regular XP Pro, with driver 175.19; Photoshop CS4's OpenGL works without a problem save for the brush cursor bug. However, I installed Vista x64 as a dual boot for the RAM boost, and ran into a bit of a wall.
Photoshop now refuses to work at all with the OpenGL enhancements on. It loads (an improvement in itself, used to get stuck at "Reading preferences"), but it'll freeze when I try to open a file or go to the performance settings. I'm currently using driver 171.16; I know it's outdated, but it's the most recent one that works with both cards in Vista x64. I'm also quite sure it's not the problem; Photoshop works perfectly with OpenGL on if I disable the FX5200.
I've tried the registry key AllowOldGPUs_ON to no effect. I've also tried both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions, with no difference. Is it possible to get Photoshop working with both cards, short of replacing the FX5200?
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.50GHz
4GB RAM
Over 300GB HDD space available for scratch disk use
EVGA 8800GT
PNY Verto FX5200

I cannot succssfully print a greeting card on elements 9. I have finally arrived at the conculsion that duplex printing is not possible. So I have been trying to print without the duplex feature enabled. The problem is when the page prints out the picture takes up the whole page - how do I shrink it to make it look like a greeting card?

I am currently writing a book that will initially be sold as a PDF but may later go on the i Book store, however I don't have a Retina display myself and what is the best practice for making screenshots from a normal display look acceptably sharp on a Retina display?
Â
I have Photoshop along with the iOS simulator that shows how the iPad or iPhone will look if they can be used in some way but I mainly need to get menu items and dialogue boxes from various applications in OS X and Windows looking good on Retina screens. I really don't want to pay out for a Retina display purely for this task that would only take a few hours of work at most.

I am designing my Business Card in PS. Now my business card has a back and front...In illustrator I would create two Artboards. What would I do in Photoshop? Do I extend the canvas to double the size? Or do I create a seperate file for the backside?

My 2 passions in life are Photography and Gaming (disclaimer: other than my wife and kids).
Â
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?
Â
I can only afford a good gaming card and entry level pro card. The cards I have in mind are an nVidia GTX 780 Ti and AMD FirePro V3900

I just set up a new rig (specs below) and everything was going great. I added a second monitor and suddenly PS CS6 starts crashing randomly. I think I discovered that PS will not support a dual monitor config if each monitor is on a different video card.
Â
My main monitor (30" dell) is powered by an ATI Raedeon HD 4850. My secondary monitor (HP Elite L2201x) is powered by the on board Intel HD Graphics 4000 because the display only uses Display Port. Both are supported cards and PS runs fine with either one used independently with or without GPU support.
Â
When I have BOTH connected the Graphics Processor Settings box is greyed out and when I mouse over that section the description box below says "Graphics hardware acceleration is unavailable. You will need to upgrade your video driver and possibly your video card" and the programs crashes randomly. The same behavior occurs regardless of on which monitor PS is being displayed.
Â
I have attempted to tweak BIOS settings to establish a hardware priority so PS would only see one card but to no avail. As this issue prevents me from using my second monitor entirely (I use PS daily), I'd really like to get it resolved.Â

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H

I have decided to put an DDR5 ATI card in my new Win7-64 build for editing photographs, compositing, etc. As I have used nVidia up to now I am unfamiliar with the ATI lines.
Â
I have looked at both discussions here and the ATI site, but it isn't clear which cards will best drive my ASUS higher-gamut monitor. I have to build a new system right now. (Willl not overclock a i7-3770 or use two GPU cards linked with Crossfire. No plans for any gaming.) I would also like to keep this part of the build at a couple hundred or less. I saw that FirePro boards range a lot higher than Radeon, which I realize is gaming-oriented.
Â
I hope to get DVI and Displayport as outputs. I use two 24" monitors, and the older unit can accept only DVI (or VGA, which I would avoid.)Any thoughts about the current ATI line for higher gamut?

Adobe accepts only NVIDIA and ATI series of video cards. I just bought a Sony laptop with a different video card (INDVID-001637-64) with 1.8 GB onboard RAM and with Open GL capabilities but PS CS4 extended 64bit does not recognize the card. Is there a work-around to get PS to recognize this card or am I just not going to be able to use the Open GL for PS. I have been to Sony Vaio to see if there are any other possibilities but can't find any updates that work on my particular computer. I am running a Windows Home Premium Vista, 64 bit system with 4 GB of RAM so I am sure all of that is OK. I just don't know where else to go for information except back to where I purchased the computer. Maybe replace the video board if possible. Or maybe Open GL just isn't worth going to the trouble. Seems like that might be the case also according to some of the discussion here.
