GPU Card for Photoshop CC

I am about to buy a new computer to use with Photoshop CC and find that the GPU card (NVIDA G 635) is not listed among those that are compatible.  Will that card still provide the acceleration that I need?

Here is a link for cards.  Try to get a card that has a rating above 700?  Anything around 1000 is good.  If you go to high you may not get too much increased performance, but you will see a hit to your pocketbook.

  • GPU Cards for PS6 & LR

    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. While the minimum amount of VRAM supported on video cards for Photoshop CS6 is 256MB, some features require 512MB of VRAM to be enabled."
    nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 series
    nVidia Quadro 400, 600, 2000, 4000 (Mac & Win), CX, 5000, 6000
    AMD/ATI Radeon 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000 series
    AMD/ATI FirePro 3800, 4800, 5800, 7800, 8800, 9800, 3900, 4900, 5900, 7900
    Intel Intel HD Graphics, Intel HD Graphics P3000, Intel HD Graphics P4000
    Which is preferred nVidia or ATI???
    2000-PB Quadro 2000 what others would be a better option keeping similar price points???
    Also the GeForce series listed are old now compared to the new 600-series. Not sure how much diff it would make for adobe CSS if, for example, you got a GTX670 vs the quadro 2000 vs a GTX570, for example.

    I am sure they will all run as they are in the Adobe Tested list… I don't know which I prefer as I can't get any relevant PS6 data to compare.
    Does anyone know where we can get a comparison of the performance of these cards for PS6? Contacted adobe and they say they don't have the data..........Didn't they test the cards?
    I don't see how providing official bench marks, data tables or just grouping the cards into entry level, amateur, home office, pro, and high end commercial. Is biased if it is raw performance data.
    They range in price from a few hundred dollars to over $10,000. There must be a level that will suit most professional small business photographers vs high end advertising professionals.
    Which Geforce is comparable to what Qudro or why are they different pros n cons. etc etc
    I am considering the nVidia Quadro 2000 which has 1Gb on board.
    Wondering which cards are comparable price vs performance wise? Or what benefits this or others have to each other.
    I have learn't heaps through research and forums. I have updated my spec but the one grey area is still this GPU.
    I don't want to spend $5-600 on a Quadro2000 if it could have been done with a gamer card for half the price. Nor do I want to spend that money and find the Quadro2000 is an expensive paper weight I need a Quadro4000.
    In other words money is very tight and I don't want to blow it on excessive or under performing gear.
    I don't know how these cards perform to even choose between the similar items per brand. Obviously some will give you "better band for buck" depending on what work your doing.
    Me I will be working on large raw files and doing Digital compositions with many layers etc. But I am a one man business trying to get started after working at commercial studios.

  • Graphics card for Photoshop & Premier Elements 9

    For the HP HPE580t computer (w/i7-950 quad processor & a 460 watt pwr. supply), which of the following gaphics cards (listed from least to most expensive)would be best to use primarily for video and photo editing with Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 & Adobe Premiere Elements 9?    No need for the card to support gaming.
              1GB Radeon HD 6450
              2GB GeForce GT 420
              2GB Radeon HD 6570
              1.5GB GeForce GT 440
    If all are good for video and photo editing, are there any advantages going with the more expensive cards?  Also, is heat a concern with the likes of the Radeon 6450 since it does not have a fan?

    As neither PSE, nor PrE uses aspects, like CUDA (some nVidia cards), or OpenCL (many ATI cards), there is nothing to be gained there.
    In PrE, there are some GPU Effects, where the processing does rely on the GPU, but this is minimal, and I would wager (without the benchmarks to support it), that any good video card will do this, and little notice of an improvement, or slowdown, will be observed.
    Now, things CAN change. PS and PrPro CS5 can use GPU aspects, for some activities. Will that trickle down to the Elements versions? Only Adobe knows. At present, CUDA and nVidia, are where Adobe is focusing. OpenCL was not fully developed, or deployed, when they did their development.
    If one is contemplating going to PS, or PrPro, then a faster, CUDA enabled GPU would benefit down the road. If one is contemplating going to PS-Extended, with greater 3D capabilities, then either CUDA, or OpenCL should benefit. If one is looking at doing 3D with other programs, then there would be benefits there.
    Personally, I think that current cards from nVidia and ATI would work well. The difference in VRAM will likely never be experienced. The biggest draw for me would be the driver support. Both companies are good at this, though a newer card might see more development work, related to drivers.
    Given your details, I think that spending the $ now on HDD's would give you more bang for the buck.
    Maybe someone, who knows Adobe's plans, will comment, and that could certainly get me to retract the above statement.
    Good luck,

  • Macpro 3,1 GPU requirements for Photoshop CC, Video Editing 4K

    Hi -
    I'm looking to upgrade my paltry 512MB graphics card in my MacPro 3,1 2008 2.8 8-core to handle Photoshop CS5, CS6, CC, as well as Final Cut/Premiere 4K editing. Most if not all GPU reviews are focused on gaming performance but I'm just interested in getting enough GPU performance for the above applications. I'm hoping to spend at most $250 for a graphics card but I'd obviously be happier to spend half as much if it's all I need. I've been focusing my attention on the GTX 650 up to the GTX 770 cards. Anyone have any helpful guidance on the matter?
    Thank you in advance!
    PS I'm currently running 10.6.8, but also have a Mavericks partition, all on an SSD drive, 14GB RAM.

    You are in serious need of RAM as well.
    PCIe SSDs can help as well with CS6 for your scratch volume or for Lightroom and Aperture.
    10.8.5 did have support for PC cards - have you talked to folks at Netkas.org and MacRumors forum for Mac Pro as well as looked at test results Barefeats.com did on GTX 7xx ? back couple years they did a lot of tests of GPUs when the EVGA GTX 680, still popular, and AMD 7950 - both are Mac Edition cards and still being sold.

  • Best graphics card for Photoshop CC and CS6

  • Bought a 3 mth subscription card for Photoshop CS6 because my 30 day trial expired & won't work?

    So I bouth a 3 month subscription card for Adobe Photoshop CS6 because my 30 day trial expired.  I followed all the onscreen instructions and it accepted my activation code but when I go to open the Photoshop previously installed it says my 30 day trial has expired...... can anyone help?

    Hi Intertribalvisions,
    Did you get it working? I looked at any subscriptions you had associated with the email address you use here on the forums. I saw Illustrator CS6 but not Photoshop CS6, not sure if that is related.

  • Graphics card for Photoshop CS6

    I have the p6112p desktop

    It has an onboard video card-- Intel GMA 3100. It appears that I can  PCI Express x16 graphics card as well (which seems to automatically [?] shut off the on-board video card?).
    I recently loaded Adobe Photoshop CS6 to my computer. When I try to use some of the features I get the error: "This feature requires graphics processor acceleration" and then recommends I check this feature in my CS6 preferences. When I try to check that box it is grayed out & says: "Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Please update or reinstall your driver."
    My driver is up-to-date & I'm guessing (this I have no other problems) that my graphics card is just too weak.
    According to Adobe's website here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html
    "The Mercury Graphics Engine (MGE) represents features that use video card processor, or GPU, acceleration. In Photoshop CS6, this new engine delivers near-instant results when editing with key tools such as Liquify, Warp, Lighting Effects, and the Oil Paint filter. The new MGE delivers unprecedented responsiveness for a fluid feel as you work."
    They also list some cards that have been tested. Anyone know if I'm the right track? Do I need to add a better card? I don't want to spend a lot-- CS6 is already costing me $200. What card should I get that will work & fit.  BTW, my computer has a 300W power supply (which I'd hate to have to replace as well unless I have no options).
    Thanks so much for any help anyone can offer.

    Hi,
    If you followed the troubleshooting procedures and other suggestions listed at the Adobe link you provided then I would try a video card.
    This EVGA GT 430 will work with the 300 watt PSU in your PC and it's in the Nvidia 400 range certified by Adobe.
    The on board video processor in your PC doesn't support OpenGL 2.0.  You need the G35 chipset and your PC only the the G33 chipset.

  • Video Card for Photoshop CS5

    Hi,
    I'm deciding between these two cards (I do not want to spend more than 70/80 bucks as I might be selling the PC in some time):
    http://www.amazon.com/GeForce-ENGT430-DC-SL-1GD3/dp/B0051UWKUW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8& coliid=I3KL9BC6YWAB99&colid=F5P3DUM50O0I (US$ 70)
    http://www.amazon.com/EAH6570-1GD3-LP-Radeon-Video/dp/B004X8EOB6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF 8&coliid=I2P1Y17T0IZJPH&colid=F5P3DUM50O0I (US$ 81)
    I would want it to be fanless (one of the main reasons I'm focusing on the GT 430) and not bigger in height than these posted, and preferably made by Asus or some other good brand.
    At the time I have an onboard Intel GMA X4500HD (which uses my Ram; I have 6GB - and I have an Core2Duo 3GHz 6MB Cache), but I'm having trouble moving various layers at the same time (this file I'm working on for instance weighs 30MB and has "many" layers and folders, but nearly no images; it's all text and vector shapes, and some Smart Objects).
    When I move 3/4/5 folders (with layers in it) at the same time it drags quite a lot. Would this have to do with the graphics card? It's the only reason I could think of, because the processor is quite powerful, I have more than enough Ram (ddr3), and I even have a scratch disc that is not the main Hd.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Jimmy
    PD: I'm working on Windows 7 64bit

    I opened a file I have with a lot of layers grouped into a number of groups, and many of the layers have effects.  A relatively complex document.
    When I select a whole bunch of the groups then use the move tool, yes, I see the screen update response slow down.  In my case, with a fairly powerful workstation and a decent video card it updated the screen about twice a second - a bit laggy but still quite acceptable.  I guess that's to be expected as the previews have to be made up of the combination of a huge number of pixels from all those tens or hundreds of layers in various ways.
    Based on what I see, it's not hard to imagine including even more layers in a more complex document to cause things to slow down even more.  I guess one just has to be patient if working on a document that deep in layers.
    Note that there are settings in the Edit - Preferences - Performance dialog that optimize the History & Cache values for "Tall and Thin" documents, where "tall" means "lots of layers".  If you make changes there to experiment, remember to close and reopen Photoshop to test them.

  • GPU support for Photoshop CC in Win 8.1

  • Graphic Cards for Photoshop CS6

    I have been using photoshop CS5 and just upgaded to CS6. Now I get a message that my graphic processor card is unkown. My computer has an Intel family graphic card. This card was supported in CS5, and I can't find a list for CS6 compatible cards. Do I repalce the intel card or wait for a future upgrade?

    Well, to be straight: You can probably wait for support for intel chipsets until your hair falls out. Sorry, but intel chips are notoriously full of hardware bugs and come with the most atrocious drivers, so chances that this will ever work properly are extremely slim, even if there may be updated drivers one day. Therefore the only logical course of action is to buy a dedicated graphics card from NVidia or AMD/ ATI. Even one from the 50 Euro budget tray will be better than anything you could ever hope to achieve with an intel onboard chip.

  • Which graphics card for Photoshop CS4

    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

    Hi Curt,
    Thank you so much for your reply, the info/advice you have given me is really helpful!!! I think its important that I also keep in mind what I might need to use it for in a couple of years time, which could be video editing and of course who knows what demands newer versions of PS, LR etc will put on the PC. I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and go for the PC that is pushing the absoulte limit of my budget (and a bit extra!) as then I have something with a spec I am not going to out grow for a reasonable period of time - so long as the computer does not give up on me first! The one I am looking at has 256GB mSATA SSD + 2TB SATA hard drive. It also has 16 GB ram.
    Thanks again, really apprecaite your help!

  • Is iMac graphics card sufficient for Photoshop CS6

    I'm considering purchasing a new 21.5-inch iMac that comes equipped with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR5 memory. Will this graphics card be sufficient to run Photoshop CS6?

    Your query has an answer in more details here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html. If you see this section which says
    Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6
    nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 series .
    Hence 650M will fall under this range and is supported to run Photoshop CS6.
