Intel HD Graphics 4400 for Photoshop CC

Hi
I am just curious how the latest generation of Intel integrated video performs in Photoshop, Intel HD Graphics 4400 specifically? Does it support Photoshop acceleration, OpenCL etc?
How many graphic memory can it handle? Who is better performer, Intel HD Graphics 4400 or Radeon 6600M?

The real key to the GPU is having an up to date driver. OpenCL is a little tricky, but should do fine with OpenGL.

From my personal experience, I wouldn't go for an Integrated card. This is one of the most important components for Photoshop, so invest in a decent graphics card (ATI or NVidia). It doesn't have to be a really exepensive one - I have been using ATI Radeon with 256MB of RAM on my Dell Studio for almost two years and it still rocks! (even when I work with 3D in Ps CS5 Extended).
I would also invest in more RAM (this can be added easily - I bought extra 4GB as my Studio came with 3GB).
I wouldn't worry about the processor - I'm on Intel Core 2 Duo - and it works very very well, it's very quick which is very important as I'm training Photoshop.
I hope this helps.

Intel HD Graphics 4400 driver update problem.

Hi!
I have an Inspiron 3537 157813. I tried to update to the recommended driver (10.18.10.3316, A02), downloaded from DELL Support, for Intel HD Graphics 4400. But it shows an error message: "The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer."
What could I do?

sorry I do not have an answer, I do have the same problem with this graphics and noticed you had no reply so I thought if I add to it we might get a response from Dell or someone in the forum. I cannot update intel 4400 it is stuck with 10.18.10.3282 (26/08/2013) it won't update to the latest iris even though it goes through the full installation without error, it's the same with any previous update since the one installed, there is always issues with either intel 4400 or AMD 8870m dedicated, any update after 2013 and the AMD is recognised as R9 M270X which it clearly isn't , it doesn't matter if I download the graphics drivers from here or from Intel website itself it just doesn't update, updated chipset and bios and all other hardware and software updates ok Intel 4400 just stays at version 10.18.10.3282, any info would be appreciated ... cheers

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.

What is the minimum Windows Experience graphics subscore for Photoshop CS6? to be efficient?

A friend has a low-end laptop with a graphics score of 3.4 and is experiencing issues attempting some filters. My laptop is reflecting 6.9 which is likely overkill, but I am wondering how to advise on what the minimum system should be.
If the Windowxs Experience graphics score is a poor predictor of minimum system graphics requirements, what should one look to for guidance?

Some of CS6 newer features require a GPU and openGL. You friends low end machine most likely does not have a supported GPC video chipset so GPU and Opengl will not be available for Photoshop use. This means some CS6 will not be available on your friends machine. Most Photoshop features do not require much when it come to video graph. The ones that do will not be available on your machine like oil painting filter. The filter will not be listed on his machine as far as I know. There is a list of tested GPU on Adobe site. Care must be used when reading the list thye do not go into details when it come to mobile laptops.

Compatibility of Intel HD Graphics Driver for HP Pavillion p6330f

In order to run Microsoft's Movie Maker 2 software, it requires the Intel HD Graphic Driver Version 8.15.10.2555 released on Oct 19, 2011. My Pavillion p6330f is a Product No. AY022AA#ABA and its Serial Number is {Personal Information Removed}. It currently has the Intel HD Graphics 8.15.10.2119 driver released on April 21, 2010 installed.
My question is whether or not this updated driver would be compatible in my p6330f that has 6 GB of RAM and a 1 GB system drive.
The salient features of this driver are:
1. It is compatible with the Intel Core i3 Processor
2. The Intel B43, G41, G43, and G45 Chipsets
3. It requires at least 1 GB of RAM
I belive my system meets all of these requirements but Intel cautions that HP may have made some modifications that would render this driver non-functional.
What is the verdict? Can I use this driver in order to run Movie Maker 2 on my p6330f?
Thank you.

Hi:
I don't know.
If there is no disable onboard video setting in the BIOS, then the onboard video will be automatically disabled when you install the new video card.
None of my HP business desktops have a disable onboard video setting.
I have installed a video card in every one of them and the onboard video was automatically disabled and I was good to go.
What you do need to do before installing a new video card is this:
1. Turn on the PC, go into the device manager.
2. Click to expand the Display Adapters setting
3. Right click on the Intel HD display adapter
4. Select uninstall and if there is an uninstall driver box to check, check that box
5. You will be prompted to restart the PC. DO NOT restart the PC.
6. Instead, shut down the PC, unplug it, press the power button to drain any residual power from the system board.
7. Install the new video card and then install the driver for it after you are back into Windows.
PS: Old habits die hard. Make sure you connect your monitor cable to the new video card.

Update intel hd graphics driver for hp pavillion p6210y desktop

I can no longer view some youTube in full screen.I hane nto had this issue before. I did all suggested: Updated Adobe (all products) and disabled hardware acceleration. The last recommendation is to Update the Intel HD Graphics drivers and I don't know how. I know almost nothing about computers (I should say I know nothing). Is there someone who can assist me?

Hi:
The product specs page for your PC indicates it comes with a NVidia graphics adapter, not an Intel one.

Graphics card for Photoshop CS6

I have the p6112p desktop
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01756863&cc=ad&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
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.

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!

Can't use Graphics Processor for Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8

Hi,
I just got a fresh upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro (not beta) but then I can't use Photoshop that well. In the Preferences > Performance, I can't tick "Use Graphics Processor". I have an ATI graphics card and yep, I've already tried upgrading/reinstalling my graphics driver, even installing old ones -- and still, this doesn't solve my problem (even in its control panel, I can't seem to see the settings of the graphics card!)
Any ideas/suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

What display driver have you installed? And what is your card?
The ATI Catalyst 12.8 driver release claims to be compatible with Windows 8, though I haven't tried the combination myself yet.
Did you install Windows 8 as an upgrade or a clean install? The latter is always preferable.
I know a secret registry incantation that will force Photoshop to use the OpenGL subsystem no matter what, and I've used that to get GPU acceleration in a test installation in a virtual machine, but rather that put that forth just yet let's find out if you've done all you can the "above board" way first.

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,
Hunt

Intel or AMD processor for Photoshop? ?

Ok so Im going to purchase a new computer and was wondering which processor works better with Photoshop? I have Elements 12 and would like to get Lightroom soon....please help?!

You may be missing a driver for your motherboard/ core3i processor or your harddrive/ SATA. Check your Device Manager for devices marked as problematic/ not working and install the necessary drivers. and don't get me wrong, but it really would be smart to install Win 7/ Win 8. You are crippling yourself in every way imaginable by hanging on to XP. You won't see any 3D features even if PS installs for instance...
