Photoshop :: Why Does GeForce GTX 560 Ti NOT Support OpenCL
May 11, 2012
From the Nvidia web site it says that the GeForce GTX 560 Ti supports: DirectX 11 > 3D Vision > PhysX > CUDA > SLI >
301.24 drivers have been used and have downgraded to 296.10 to see if that would work, but it didn't.
When I check the performance tab under Advanced it shows that the OpenCL option is grayed out. When I check the Sys info log it also shows that OpenCL is Not availible (included below).
Why is this and when will it be fixed? Now that CS6 is shipping it should be working.

I can run OpenCL benchmarking tests and they work great, but I still cannot active it in photoshop.
Ive tried using sniffer_gpu.exe in the photoshop folder at numerous different times and intervals, (while photoshop is open, after i close it, after a fresh reboot), yet i still cannot get it enabled in photoshop.
I just upgraded from a GeForce 8800GTX to a GeForce GTX295 (which is in fact a SLI GXT260 on one card).
I am running Vista x64.
Since the upgrade, Photoshop doesn't let me enable GPU acceleration (in 32 and 64 bit version). The newest beta driver is installed and I did not change anything else on this machine.
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.

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.
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.

Building a machine for my daughter to run Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended.I have those 3 cards available. Will CS6 use AMD OpenCL? I get conflicting data.I have Win7-64 and Win8 in boxes as well. I assume Win7 is safer?
Last is multi core CPU's important or not?I have machines from 6 to 32 cores (singles from 6 to 16 cores, duals from 8 to 32 cores).Is core count or clockspeed more useful? The slowest chips are 2.5ghz, the fastest are 3.33ghz.
My computer currently have an AMD Radeon 6850 with catalyst 12.8 drivers. When I look at the OpenCL option it was greyed out. I know my card has OpebCL 1.1 support but at the same time, I don't know if OpenCL drivers were downloaded. I have just purcahsed the Adobe suite today.
Just want to know if this normal. The Opencl option can be checked in the 64 bit version of Photoshop but not the 32 bit. Just updated the drivers for the Intel HD 4000 graphics from the Intel website and Opencl is still not an option. HD 4000 supports OpenGL 4.0 and Opencl 1.1
So is it something I can fix or should I contact Intel about it?Here is the basic OS/video info:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08/08:21:00:00) x32 Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1 System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:10, Stepping:9 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, HyperThreading
I've a 15" MacBook Pro (Graphic Card is 6490M) and installed Mountain Lion and Photoshop CS6. When I Check my System Info in Photoshop, it show the OpenCL is unavailable just like this:
Then I open the Performance tab in Preferences, and see that I cannot enable OpenCL and the GPU Acceleration like this:
How come? Is the problem of Mountain Lion or Photoshop? How can I solve the problem?
OpenCL doesn't seem to work for me. I have it checked in prefs, have the latest drivers, and a GeForce GTX 660M. Yet when I run an iris blur filter, it's extremely slow, and only uses 1 CPU. Under System Info, it lists the video card and OpenCL 1.1.
I have CS6 Extended, and while I can use some 3d features, the options are not available. I've removed and reloaded PS, the graphics driver has been updated, removed completely and then reloaded, but nothing works even though I have never actually gotten a warning that the card isn't supported. It is supposed to be compatible with OpenCL but this isn't available for some reason.
The graphics card has vram of 512, with 503mb available according to PS. In preferences-performance, "use graphics processor" is checked. In the advanced button, "use graphics processor to accelerate computation" is checked, but "use openCL" is grayed out. I've tried unchecking it, restarting the program, and then turning it back on, along with all other forms of "turn it off-turn it back on". The screen resolution is 1366x768, if this matters.
Here are the specifics: Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03/15:21:00:00) x32 Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1 System architecture: AMD CPU Family:15, Model:0, Stepping:1 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2 Physical processor count: 4 [code]....
This graphics card should be enough to work with the 3d of PS, but it isn't, and I've looked at everything that I can find trying to figure this out.
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.
To elaborate, I am running an SSD (C:) and an HDD (E:). I have Photoshop and my GPU drivers installed in C:.
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 have a Radeon HD 5670 card (640sp version) and I'm unable to activate the "OpenCL" option in Advanced Graphics Processor settings.My GPU driver version is Catalyst 13.3 beta 3 for windows 7. The problem occurs in Catalyst 13.2, too. GPU-z report: [URL}...OpenCL works with Neat Image Plugin: [URL]...
Photoshop's System Info tool's report:

I have a Geforce 8600M GT in my Macbookpro 10.6.8 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Core with 4GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM. I tried using it for 3D in PS6 but it doesn't seem to be 'enabled' and OpenGl unavailable. In the preferences in PS it states that graphics hardware unavailable and that I should upgrade my driver or card but on the adobe specifications for PS6 my card seems to comply and I can't find anything to update.
The openGl is 3.0. So I think the opengl in Photoshop have to work or is the IGP to weak?With a ATI 4670 it works fine and this card is not listed in the kb eather.
I'm about to replace my aging computer and need advice on the video card. The above is standard and the Nvidea 9500 GS or ATI Radeon 4650 are offered at nominal cost for upgrades. I have no interest in gaming and don't watch movies on the monitor.
Photoshop posts a failure notice that the GeForce GTX 295 is outdated and unsupported. Newest driver has been updated. I have installed the script to allow Photoshop to talk to older video cards with no prevail. Open GL settings are dimmed aswell.
Up to 2 days ago I had ATI Catalyst 12.2 installed. I was able to check all the boxes in the Advanced Graphics Processor Settings dialog and they stayed set. Specifically, I had [ ] Use OpenCL set and Photoshop CS6 worked very well.
Because I need to know about the quality of newer drivers for my own product development, I upgraded my ATI driver suite to the current version - Catalyst 12.4.
Unfortunately, this caused new problems I hadn't had before - specifically a number of GPU-accelerated features didn't work, such as Oil Paint, which would appear to try to start then just exit a split second later. And with Catalyst 12.4 the [ ] Use OpenCL setting became unavailable (grayed-out).
With my own testing done, I decided to completely uninstall the ATI Catalyst 12.4 suite, and drop back to Catalyst 12.2.
This was a simple matter of uninstalling everything AMD then rebooting (with the Windows driver), then installing Catalyst 12.2. That went smoothly. However, now I still do not find the [ ] Use OpenCL box has become available again - it's grayed out:
there are no remnants from the 12.4 drivers left on my system (though there's a possibility I could have missed something), and everything from the 12.2 set installed successfully, so the question is this:
Did Photoshop sense something about the 12.4 driver set, then set some kind of permanent "No OpenCL" flag in its own configuration settings? Here's my system info with the 12.2 drivers installed. Note the "OpenCL: Unavailable" entry. URL....
Note that all my GPU-accelerated features seem to work... Oil Paint works and is plenty fast, the various Blur tools work nice and fast, I can do 3D rendering (though there's one small glitch I've had since Photoshop CS6 was released where occasionally it becomes unresponsive for a few seconds at a time while doing 3D work). But it does finally respond.
I've just installed Photoshop CC 64 and am finding that with "OpenCL" checked under performance, my graphics card (Nvidia GTX 670, 2 gb, with updated drivers) temperature immediately rises from 33 C to over 45 C, and "core" from 324 Mhz to 1,005 Mhz (yellow zone), with high memory usage, without even opening an image. This does not occur with CS 6 (13.1.2 x64) with OpenCL checked -- the temperature remains constantly in the 33-35 C range.Is it a bug in PS CC? (system: Windows 7, x64 pro, 24 gb ram, i5 3570k)
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. URL....
I just bought a brand new Alienware M17x R4 with Windows 8 Pro x64 and Photoshop CS6 won't recognize my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M GPU?I've already updated Windows 8, Photoshop and the Nvidia graphics driver.
I spent so much on a nice graphics card but now it seems PS CS6 can't even use it. It's using the Intel HD4000 instead: I also tried this: URL... According to this, my graphics card should work, it's a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M, which is a 600 series GPU: URL...Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6 #.
Adobe tested the following video cards before the release of Photoshop CS6. This document lists the video card by series. The minimum amount of RAM supported on video cards for Photoshop CS6 is 256 MB. Photoshop 13.1 cannot display 3D features if you have less than 512 MB VRAM on your video card.
Important: This document is updated as newly released cards are tested. However, Adobe cannot test all cards in a timely manner. If a video card is not listed here, but was released after May 2012, you can assume that the card will work with Photoshop CS6.Adobe tested laptop and desktop versions of the following cards. Be sure to download the latest driver for your specific model. (Laptop and desktop versions have slightly different names.)nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 series.
i just upgraded the driver for my nVidia GeForce 680 graphics card from the nVidia website. the specifications are shown below. Photoshop CC now says that it can't detect my graphics card.
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?
I'm running the latest version of Cuda, Premeire Pro CS6 has been updated but my renderer options in Project settings has been greyed out and I'm stuck using "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only".
One of the plugins I use in Premiere (FilmConvert) is using OpenCL fine, but Premiere doesan't seem to reconise it.
My setup is a Mac Pro with GTX 680 card for mac.I bought this card, thinking it would do what Adobe advertised: "GPU Rendering - Work faster and take full advantage of your hardware with full GPU acceleration, now included in Adobe Media Encoder."
I want to transcode FullHD H264 to XDCAM HD. GPU acceleration isn't happening. The GPU is idle, while the CPU does all the work. Sure, it I want do de-interlace or downscale to an SD Format, the GPU works. But apparently not for transcoding.
Adobe should not suggest that AME can take full advantage of my hardware, because it can't.
It seems I have no more room to install a stand alone Video Capture Card and the maximum video card I can and am about to install on my Gateway 700XL computer is a GeForce 7950 GT AGP which does not include video capture. So, I have been told that I should consider buying a "Dazzle Digital Video Creator DVC-90 Video Capture Device and Movie Maker" devise. I assume I have no need for anything related to the "Movie Maker" for I have VS11Plus and may soon upgrade to the latest Video Studio if my system is compatible with the latest. URL.....

Something else that may be worth adding is info on the Camcorder which is: URL....
I'm experiencing an interesting issue in Premiere Pro CC. When using Mercury Playback Engine with either CUDA or OpenCL acceleration, the SDI output from my Blackmagic Design Decklink Extreme 3D+ card exhibits a noticable gamma shift towards the dark. When I switch to Software Only playback, the image appears as it should. The image in the viewer window inside Premiere is not affected in any way, just the SDI output. I've confirmed this behavior at multiple frame rates, resolutions and codecs, including ProRes, XDCam and RED. The "Linear Processing" checkbox in sequence settings makes no difference.
It makes the MPE acceleration unusable, and Premiere is very slow without MPE.
