Disable GPU features / GPU Sniffer through install?

Hello!
New to Adobe and this community, apologizes in advance if placed in the wrong forum.
I am looking to deploy Photoshop CS6 in an enterprise environment. We have a number of clients which meet the requirements of the program, but do not have the video memory to utilize the graphics accelerated features. I've been asked to research disabling the GPU features (or the GPU sniffer) at the install process to avoid the user experience of the pop up. Is there a customization tool or have any users found a work around for this scenario? I have read the sticky here, and also came across a user submitted solution here which I thought might work but is not an option in our environment.
Challenge: GPU Sniffer pops up notice of disabled features when first run with new user on clients that do not meet GPU acceleration specs.
Goal: Avoid/remove pop up, either by customization of installation, of modification of preferences post install from centralized management.
Again, many thanks for taking a look and any feedback you can provide!

Thanks for the answer.  I understand completely.
I apologize if I seemed forward for asking.  I have perhaps an oversensitivity, as I once was at the mercy of a corporate IT department that was staffed by, shall we say, technically-challenged folks who made - without fail - penny-wise and pound-foolish decisions.  I ended up cutting my engineering department off from them completely, and after outfitting my group with Really Great workstations 20 software engineers began putting out the work of 40.  It's amazing what an investment in one's employees can net.
Something did actually dawn on me that could possibly be helpful...  When I set up test systems here (I use virtual machines for a lot of testing), I have been successful in developing an initial set of Photoshop parameters, then just copying all the files and subfolders in the following folder.  Voila, Photoshop comes up with the same setup as the source system.

Perhaps you could develop Photoshop settings that could then be copied to the target environments before Photoshop is run.

  • CS4 is Constantly disabling GPU enhancements

    Each time I open CS4 and the initial image I get this message, "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software."
    I'm writing to the Adobe Forum because GeForce feels they are not the cause of the problem. Here is what I've done toward resolving this problem:
    As a side note let me add here that after upgrading CS2 to CS4 this error message appeared religiously. That caused me to purchased an Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT display adapter w/ 512mb memory. Prior to installing the new card I downloaded their newest drivers for this card after removing the old drivers. Originally I had a GeForce 7600 card. The error message continued with the new card. I've searched the settings within CS4 trying to find an option that would resolve the problem. This machine has a new motherboard, a D945GNT Intel board. It will support 64-bit however I'm currently running XP Pro 32-bit, SP3. It also has a new Pentium D dual core processor. I have 4 GB of RAM.
    Have I overlooked a setting in the CS4 program that will resolve the issue? The graphics are slow to regenerate if you move in or out. Bridge is slow to generate all images in folders. As I view the tutorials on the Net I see normal regens where mine are slow. And last but certainly not least, other programs are slow to open. I've done several virus scans and turned up nothing. I've run chkdsk /r on all of my drives. I've run defrag on all my drives as well as Disk Cleanup.
    I've got a copy of Vista Ultimate heading my way. I'm prepared to wipe the c-drive and begin over. Do you think my problems will go away after the new operating system in installed or is this my second bad 9600 GT video card?

    Folks,
    I tested several older and newer cards with the new CS4 enhancements on Win XP SP3 workstations. Here my lowdown (or 2 cents):
    Issues on all cards, no matter what:
    -All cards did have the one issue when displaying an image on a 2nd monitor: Background showing through. Just maximize the image window and the problem is gone. This happens to all my 6 video cards, no matter what driver, brand or GPU!
    How to avoid the "GPU Message" and reduce drawing issues:
    Here two cards that deliver a pretty decent price/performance (nothing is perfect, really). Key: The DEVIL IS IN THE GPU SETTINGS DETAILS! With these settings, we had a good performance with brushes, clone/healing, zooming and NO MORE GPU MESSAGE:
    NVidia GeForce 8600 - 512MB
    Use the following settings, and the error messages are gone:
    -Vertical Sync: Yes
    -3D Interaction: Blank/Disabled
    -Force Bilinear Interpolation: No
    -Advanced Drawing: Yes
    -Use for Image Display: Yes
    -Color Matching: Yes
    ATI Radeon 4670 - 1GB
    -Vertical Sync: No
    -3D Interaction: Blank/Disabled
    -Force Bilinear Interpolation: No
    -Advanced Drawing: Yes
    -Use fro Image Display: No
    -Color Matching: Yes
    I really believe that you will encounter issues no matter what brand, type or age of GPU you're using. The Trick is to find the perfect GL settings for your card. Based on my research, the OS seems to have no impact.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,
    Bruno

  • The GPU Sniffer crashed...

    My copy of Photoshop CS6 is crashing after startup. I got a crash log and noticed that it says that "The GPU Sniffer crashed". My computer specs are:
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Photoshop CS6 (64-bit)
    Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+

    You have a third party driver that has a bug in it. And yes, After Effects and other applications that use the GPU do require updated video card drivers, or else they just blacklists the card as not working.
    Photoshop is working correctly.  But your third party video card driver has a bug that prevent it from working correctly.  To fix the video card driver, you need to update the driver to pick up the bug fixes made to the driver.
    This is not a Photoshop flaw, this is just a bug in your video card driver.
    The only thing Adobe can do is blacklist your card and disable all GPU features when using that video card.  But we can't do that because the card is working for other users who have up to date drivers for their card.
    Bottom line: your current video card driver software has a crashing bug in it, and needs to be updated to fix that bug.

  • Direct Link to SpeedGrade disables GPU in CC2014.2

    Bug as noted in the other thread, but ... refined and clarified. Working in a Direct Link process, I cannot do anything whatever to the simplest sequence in Sg without an immediate notice that "There are insufficient Video Resources" and Sg is disabling GPU acceleration. This is, again, after it was using less than 3% of the GPU and only around 278Mb of vRAM. It then runs slow as molasses.
    If I just try to keep working, the time lag between clicking anything and response of the program continually slows ... starts at a couple seconds of lag, soon gets to 30 seconds between my action and its reaction. Totally unusable.
    I can restart and re-enable GPU ... but it will just keep doing the same thing.
    The only thing that gets me semi-back in operation is to simply go to the Pref's panel, re-set to "Use GPU accel" but WITHOUT re-starting. It will run semi so-so ... far faster than if I don't do this and simply try to keep working (as noted above) BUT ... definitely slower than it did on CC, or CC2014, through any of their minor builds.
    I've run CC Cleaner and wiped both PrPro & Sg ... downloaded fresh & re-installed. Exactly the same behavior.

    I posted this earlier in a the creative cloud forum with no responses.  I'll post it here to see what you guys think about it:
    I'm not too familiar with the forums at this point, although I have been using them for a few months to receive some great information.  However, I've got some good ideas, and perhaps you'll think of them as good ideas too.
    From what I understand, at the moment, there's no way to tell what problems may exist in any updated versions of the Adobe CC software.  For example, when recently updating to the newest version of Adobe SpeedGrade, I and many other people are having many troubles getting it to use the GPU.  Because of this, it is assumed to be a software issue that we all just have to deal with.  For the majority of us, uninstalling this version, removing ALL of its remnants (which can be important when using SSDs) and re-installing to the previous, working version can be a huge hassle, especially when the permission of an administrator (such as for those who do this for a living in the workplace) is required to do so.  This is what I have to say:
    At the moment, is there any way to know (by personal experience, not what Adobe claims to have fixed and updated) what problems and other changes may exist in the updated software without scouring each forum's posts for each CC application?If not, I propose creating a collective area in which people can list differences they've noticed throughout the newest version of the software and problems they may have experienced with it.
    So by this point, you're probably considering why anybody should do this.  Here are the reasons that I think that this would be a huge benefit to everybody:
    People, in advance, could look at the collective experiences of those daring enough to update to the newer versions.  This would help because:
    Now they can decide, for themselves, whether or not to update (rather than find out the hard way since no information regarding software bugs about the newer versions were made easily available).
    Remember, not all of us have an easy time uninstalling and re-installing things when parts of the new program no longer work. If there was one forum, or area, or whatever it takes, where people could post all of their experiences with any of the newest versions of the Adobe CC software, I feel that it would be a huge benefit to all of us.  Of course, people would have to be daring in the first place to try the newest software and then return to post about it, but for those of us who are not fortunate enough to do so, this would greatly help.  See, I'm stuck doing horrible color grading with SpeedGrade despite having two GTX 970s in this machine and am unable to turn back to a previous version (at least, it would make more sense for me to wait until a newer version of all the software comes out considering my employer).
    Let me know what you guys think about this idea, who I should talk to in order to make it a reality, or (most importantly) if an area on these forums already exists and I'm completely unaware of it.

  • Photoshop Disables GPU Enhancements

    For some reason, when starting up Photoshop (CS 4) on my intel iMac, it says the following:
    "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software."
    I've checked back on the NVIDIA website for any such thing, and seems nonexistent. Any help would be appreciated because visual quality really suffers at it's pretty annoying.
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop problem disabled GPU

    I have Adobe CS5.
    It won't work in 64 only 32.
    I got the message "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video adapter manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
    I've just reinstlled but it still is 32......
    My graphics card info:
    OpenGL Version: 2.1 NVIDIA-7.12.9
    Video Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
    Video Card Renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M OpenGL Engine
    I'm running OS X 10.7.2
    I can't find that driver on the Nvidea website so can't find if there is a driver update. If there was I would hope it would come in by 'IOS update' but I don't know how to check.
    If anyone can help I'd be so grateful and relieved. I really need this program to work well and I've been battling and researching it for a year.
    Would installing CUDA help? Computers aren't my skill but I'm trying!
    Thank you.

    Try updating the video driver.

  • How to disable GPU acceleration, really?

    I disabled GPU acceleration from settings menu but it is not effective.
    I did it from "''about:config''" menu "''gfx.direct2d.disabled -true''" but also not working.
    I did disable for all extension to check them but still have problem.
    The problem is firefox using my GPU on maximum clocks even for a '''simple page scrolling'''.
    It causes GPU clocks go up and down continuously, and VGA cooler also speeds up and goes down which creates cooler noise fluctuation.
    It is really irritating.
    Only thing I can do is to run firefox in windows xp compatibility mode.
    But this is just an interim solution.
    Now I updated version 11 and this still not fixed.
    I wrote about this problem a few times but still nothing.

    GPU accelerated pages=0 means Firefox is not using acceleration. The spike in the GPU clock when scrolling could be the Windows graphics acceleration. You can also try to file a detailed report [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ here.]

  • New GPU Quadro k5200 installed and having problem with my AE, PPro CS6  not using the GPUs cuda.

    Hi guys, I recently bought a workstation from BOXX tech with a new GPU Quadro k5200 installed in it.
    I am having problem with my AE, PPro CS6 using the GPUs cuda.
    I went to Nvidia Settings and use the specific App to select it to use GPU n- Quadro k5200. But still not working.
    Please help

    If you edited the Cudatextfile in the Adobe Premiere CS6 directory correctly then the acceleration should be enabled. The only way it it's not is if you have the wrong driver for that version of Adobe or did not edit the text file with the exact name of the card. You can use the GPUsniffer in that same Premiere directoy with the command prompt to see the name the GPU should be listed as. The Ray Tracer file in AE has to be edited with the same listing.

  • Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?

    I'm using a workstation graphics card that allows for GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC.
    Selecting 'GPU Preview' instead of 'CPU Preview' under the 'View' toolbar in Illustrator CC results in a more choppy experience.
    Which leads me to wonder:
    Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?
    Does GPU acceleration for my gpu actually improve the performance for my work?

    If you disable the GPU acceleration in preferences then you'll be unable to enable GPU preview under the view menu. It will automatically go into CPU preview as the GPU is no longer enabled.
    If you're experiencing choppy performance when you do have the GPU preview selected, something is amiss because any GPU that can support GPU acceleration should be able to do it without a performance hit.
    What is the video card that's in the workstation?

  • GPU sniffer

    A lot of times I can;t start After Effects CC because of a GPU Sniffer error, and I have an Nvidia Quadro 4000, which is an aapproved  card.  I'm nopt sure if the card is even recoginized.

    Preferences --> Previews --> Advanced. If your card is recognized, it is listed there properly. The rest we can't tell. You have not provided any detailed system info, including what nVidia driver version you use for instance.

  • GPU Sniffer too fast

    I am having a problem with my GTX 275 video card with PP 5.5. 
    It works with my PP 5, but doesn't with my PP 5.5.  I am trying to debug the problem by using GPU Sniffer, but when I try running it, the results run by quickly and the window closes.  I tried hitting the Pause, but I am unable to time it to see the whole message. 
    How do I see the results of GPU Sniffer?
    Thanx

    Thank you, Bill.
    I had a little trouble relearning how to use DOS with the CMD window.
    I had to change directory  cd C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5\
    Then execute  by typing GPUSniffer <return>
    I found out my CUDA driver is too old for CS5.5 although it still works for my CS5.
    I upgraded my NVidea driver and now everything works.

  • How do I disable this feature? As you're opening a new tab or typing in the Awesome Bar, Firefox will check to see if you already have that site open. If you do, you'll be directed to the existing tab so you don't open a duplicate.

    When I am in my classroom where I am teaching, I sometimes open a duplicate tab so I can go back and forth while I am grading. This gives me the assignment and grade book open at the same time. This is much faster than opening and closing the two screens as I have to do when I can't open a duplicate site.
    If I cannot disable this feature, can I undo this upgrade and return to the previous version? Thanks for your help.
    Martin Gordon

    When you enter a site in the URL/Location/Address bar and see "Switch to tab" in the drop-down, you can
    *use ALT+Enter to open the new (duplicate) tab anyway
    *use CTRL+left-click on the original tab and drag it until you see an up arrow from below the break point between two tabs, then release the left-click key, then release the CTRL key to get a duplicate of the tab with all of its history (Back/Forward)
    *press the Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to Tab" and see the URL.
    *Use the cursor Right key to select an item marked as Switch to Tab in the drop down list and copy the URL to the location bar.
    *Open the URL in the current tab by using Shift + Enter on the highlighted entry.
    You can install this Add-on to completely disable "switch to tab": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more/
