I have an earlier 2008 MacPro with a Radeon HD 2600 XT Card. Adobe says it's supported but all 3D options are grayed out. The menu is grayed out and open GL is grayed.
Â
Do I need a new card? If so, what cards are Mac users using for good 3D?
My Radeon 6570 is recognized in the performance menu and "advanced" is selected but when I try to use the "rotate view tool" I get an error telling me "Could not complete your request because it only works with OpenGL enabled document windows."

Driver Package Version - 8.84-110309a-116134C-Asus
Open GL - Version 6.14.10.10664
OpenGL support does not seem to be working on PhotoshopCC. The HUD color picker does not appear and when I try to rotate the canvas, a message pops up that says the rewuest could not be completed because it only works with OpenGL enabled windows.
Â
I have two NVIDIA Quadro K600 cards (with up to date drivers), a Cintiq monitor and a new Dell workstation. I'm using the trial version of Photoshop CC. (I had to replace my computer recently because the old one died, and rather than reinstalling CS4 I decided to try CC and see how I liked it)
Â
My machine is a powerful graphics computer, so it ought to be able to handle OpenGL. Under Preferences / Performance I do have "Use Graphics Processor" checked, but it does not work.
I recently bought a Wacom Cintiq and installed it as my second monitor. When I start Photoshop CC 64bit, if it opens on my first monitor I am able to use OpenGL features like rotating the canvas or seeing the eye dropper wheel. This continues to work if I drag Photoshop onto my second monitor. However, if PS starts on my second monitor, whenever I try to use the OpenGL features I get error messages saying that OpenGL is disabled for the window.
Â
I would like to be able to open PS on my second monitor and still have all the OpenGL features work.
I have updated my ATI FireGL V3100 with the latest ATI drivers (Windows XP
sp3 with 4GB RAM).
However, when I enable GNU in CS4 all of the images are garbled.
Anyway to fix this other than turning off OpenGL?
If I need to get a new video card to make this work, which is the most
stable card having the fewest bugs? I'd really like to get this to work.
I'm looking for manufacturer and model number suggestions so that I may use the Full Feature Set of OpenGL 2.0 in PS CS4. My current card is an ATI Radeon 9200 Series with 128 MB and uses the AGP 8X bus.
I am looking for video cards using the AGP 8X bus, since I am not able to upgrade either motherboard or processor at this time. Brand name and model numbers would be most helpful. PCI-e bus cards will be helpful when I get time and resources to upgrade.
I am going to buy a new GPU soon. I just wonder does Corel VideoStudio X5 support OpenGl while rendering. I want to buy an AMD GPU but if only CUDA is supported, I have to buy a Nvidia instead.

Â
Using opengl with PS CS6 and PS CC I have seem substantial speed improvements in a number of functions. However, in LR 5 it is getting slower and slower the more images I add. It will often stall/freeze or slow to a crawl. Out of sheer frustration I downloaded Capture One 7 and turned on the opengl support. I imported my entire 1.3 T of image files to C1 7. While it is not as quick as LR - when running as it should - C1 7 never slows down, never stalls, never crashes. I want to continue with LR but its stalls, freezes, slow dows and occassional crashes are killing me.
Â
I have optimized my catalog regularly, put my catalog and previews on my SSD and the cache on a WD Velociraptor - and yet it is getting slower and slower. Both drives are less than 50% full. My images are on a 2t WD Velocirapotor raid 0 - 66% full. Otherwise my system is very quick and very stable - just LR 5 is the probem.Â

When I try to use the Oil Paint filter tool I receive an error claiming that an "uknown graphics processor error" had occured. I then checked under my preferences and Photoshop is not using the correct graphics card. Is there a way for me to fix this problem so that I can use photoshop?

what is the most adequate graphics card to run Photoshop 7.0 on a daily basis?
I am currently looking to purchase a new computer and I am considering my options.
I will be adding a graphics card to my Vista 64 machine which currently has integrated graphics. I normally don't care about 3D performance, so I was looking at the Radeon HD 4550. Please let me know what I should look for in a card if my primary objective is to (1) enable movie playing (HD and blu ray) and (2) speed up Photoshop. The machine has one x16 PCI slot and two x1 slots (it's a Dell Studio).
Current specs are:
Intel Q9400 quad core
8GB RAM (this is the max for the motherboard)
750GB SATA drive
NVDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430. Just updated the driver from NVDIA. When I try to do much of anything (like oil painting) it locks up and says it needs to shut down because the GPU isn't supported. Compaq Presario CG5300F 2G ram 320G HD AMD Sempron LE-1300 2.3 64 bit

Photoshop CS6 makes extensive use of graphic card features such as OpenGL and OpenCL. Prices of graphic cards that have those features range from well under $100 to over $4000 for top of the line Pro cards.If your system is only used for PS then there's no need to invest in features you don't need, such as those needed by video gamers. But you do want the best graphics card performance that PS can make use of.
Â
Graphics cards to determine at what point additional graphics performance no longer improves PS performance? For example, does the card's clock speed effect PS performance? Does 2G of graphics card RAM offer any improvement over 1G (or 512MB)?
I am running Photoshop CS5 Extended and I am currently trying the Beta of CS6. I am currently using my on board graphics card and whilst on the whole have been happy I realize that I am not using the system to the fullest. I am using a PC with a PCI-e slot. What sort of (low budget I am afraid) graphics card should I be looking for.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIf you had a three year old Nvidia Geforce 6600 video card, would you upgrade and to what? Strictly for PSCS4, no video, no gaming.
I know I need to download driver updates, but I wondered if more of an upgrade would be indicated.
With my upcoming upgrades, which video card would you recommend?
Won't be doing any gaming, just the odd streaming or instructional video and PSCS3, and no 3-D graphics.
Specifically, is there any reason to go with up to 1 gig?
 Frankly, the tech specs of individual cards leave my head in a spin and I'm not sure where else to go. I've tried a couple of sales lines but they haven't left me feeling confident. I want a fairly high-end card but I don't do video and gaming.
I have run two monitors from a AT! Radeon X800 Pro (I think I got the numbers right) which doesn't permit me to color profile two monitors. Consequently, my main monitor (Lacie Electron Blue) but the other one is always way off. It gets even more alarming if the image on the cheapo monitor looks better than the profiled monitor.
 It does make proofing difficult if I have the thumbnail on the cheapo and a larger image on the profiled monitor especially if you have more than one image that are close in content. I use an Eye 1 device to profile and I would just like to be able to profile both monitors with that device in an easy way.
IBM says that a T2500 processor with a mg of RAM and an intel graphics media accelerator will be fine.
Would a dedicated 128 MB AI Mobility Radeon X1400 provide a noticeable increase in speed?
I currently use Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 4.1. I am in the process of having a new computer built just for editing my photography. The board will be an ASUS P9X79 with an intel Core i7-3820 and 16 GB memory. The technician would like a recommendation of the best graphics card for editing still images.

All of my work is done in RAW from a 5D MII. 21 megapixel.
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'm a Creative Cloud user and recently downloaded the new Photoshop CC. I tried to open an existing file and got the following error message, "3D features require a minimum of 512MB of vRAM. Photoshop has detected less than that on your system. Updating the driver of your graphics card may resolve the issue."

While I'm fairly proficient in Photoshop I'll admit that I'm a bit lost when it comes to my computer. whether I actually need a new graphics card or perhaps my settings are wrong? Here is some information about my computer:
Mac Pro
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 20 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
performance of my pc in Photoshop CS4 (nor in Lightroom 2.4 or Photoshop Elements 7) and I suspect that the weakest point is the graphics card. So I ask for advise to get a high performance graphics card. In addition to pictures I do (or wish to to) full HD video with my Canon 5D MkII. My current setup is (2 years old): Asus P5K motherboard with P35 chipset, Q6600 CPU, 2 Samsung SP T166 500GB harddrives and 2 Samsyng SP F1 750GB harddrives both sets in RAID 0 (striped) and the sets have plenty of free space, 8 GB DDR2 RAM, Asus EN8600GT graphics card with 256MB RAM and a Dell 3007WFP display running 2560 x 1600 resolution. When I open more than 4 pictures in Photoshop I get the message: "With the current settings, up to 4 OpenGL documents can be shown at a time. ... This limit depends on the screen resolution, and the RAM available from the graphics card. ..."When I work in Photoshop there are always plenty available RAM and the CPU are not usually on heavy load, and the disk activity is usually low. Therefore I belive that the bottleneck in my system is the graphics card. Any thoughts on this?What graphics card should I buy that will take the workload and my workflow (many pictures at the time and usually in RAW) without me having to wait on the screen to update?Of course I would like to have the best price/performance ratio,
View 18 Replies View Relatedmy computer randomly blue screened and has done a few times since. All error codes and recent activity suggested a faulty driver recently installed. The newest thing i have installed was my Intuos 4 new drivers, but i found that removing them made no difference. Looking through my windows event log files, i found that my graphics card drivers had ran into some erros not long ago, so i updated my drivers (NVidia 9800GT (512MB vm)). I had a blue screen today since updating them, directly reffering to my graphics tablet drivers again, but this time the new ones.Also, i have noticed that explorer seems slower now, and programs close fast-ish still, but they close from top to bottom as if something crashed instead, and fourced them to close. I also am getting much more distortion on my desktop than usual, such as remains of windows previously open, or the dashed box that shows when you click and drag on the desktop staying there. A simple refresh gets rid of it, but i don't know if it is linked.

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 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 just got the 64 bit version of CS5 after using the 32 bit version, and at first the OpenGL stuff was working, but then all of a sudden it stopped. The 32 bit version recognizes my graphics card and lets me use OpenGL, but the 64 bit version doesn't.
