Photoshop CS6 doesn't recognize my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M GPU?

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.
Any ideas?  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:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4545768#4545768
And deleted the settings but that didn't help.
According to this, my graphics card should work, it's a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M, which is a 600 series GPU:  http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html#tested_cards
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've run out of ideas.  Any suggestions?

Okay, I figured it out...duh.
My bad...or rather, Nvidia's bad!
In their app profiler, they set Photoshop to use the "default" settings, which defaults to the integrated graphics.  By changing the profile to make it use the discreet graphics, it worked!
This also fixed my issue of the background flashing / flickering.
I know that's a known bug with Windows 8 + AMD (http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/image-background-transparent-or-flickers.html)
However, Adobe should look into this same bug occuring with the Intel HD4000 integrated GPU, because this happened with my laptop.
Maybe that bug doesn't occur on systems that only have an integrated GPU, but on systems with Optimus, it's definitely a reproducible issue.
When I switch back to integrated, the issue pops up again.
It's nice that Nvidia provides an option for us to either use the integrated or discreet graphics, however, Adobe needs to follow through and make sure that Photoshop doesn't wig out when we're using the integrated GPU.  Sometimes, your customers need to do work on battery power, so the integrated flickering /flashing /transparent background bug definitely needs to be fixed.
Personally, I can get 6hrs out of this laptop running the integrated GPU, but when I use the discreet, that cuts it down to only 2hrs.

  • [BUG] Photoshop CC crashed immediately after selecting NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M GPU

    I just started using Photoshop CC trial and I immediately ran into problem with my video card.
    First Photoshop doesn't recognized my GPU which is Nvidia GTX 680M. I'm using a new Alienware R4 with Win8 pro, I then searched the forum and followed this thread
    Photoshop CS6 doesn't recognize my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M GPU?http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1157982
    After following the instruction now Photoshop CC is supposely using my NVIDIA GPU, but it immediately crashed after launching, for both 32 bits and 64 bits. My NVIDIA driver version is 320.49 600 series, the latested one I just updated. If I deselect the NVIDIA option in the control panel I no longer suffer the crash problem but as you know there is a reported problem with Intel HD4000 integrated GPU where screen flickering keeps happening if you use a toolbox. To avoid the problem the only thing I can do is to deselect the use GPU option in CC option (changing the mode advanced setting doesn't help). By deselcting the GPU option get rid of the problem but there is another problem with zooming: it cannot zoom in real time anymore, instead it's having a toolbox where you choose a reagion and it will jump to that region, and I can only zoom in by doing this, not zooming out.
    So basically I had a problem with NVIDIA which crashes CC immediately and a problem with Intel HD4000 integrated GPU with flickering screen and another problem with no GPU selected where I cannot zoom in real time. Whatever I do always give me some sets of problem that I can't solve.
    BTW I haven't try CS6 yet, I may proceed to download a trial copy and I thought CC and CS6 are using the same core. Nevertheless, those problem should definately be looked into.
    Any helps? Thanks in advance.

    For what it’s worth, I have most of the CC apps installed on an MSI GT70 ONE with GTX680M — driver 9.18.13.614 dated 8/28/2012 and using Windows 8, and while I have not used them all on that laptop, the ones I have appear to be working faultlessly.

  • After Effects CS6 doesn't recognize my Nvidia Quadro K5000 + Tesla c2075 (Maximus) setup

    Hello everybody, could you help me to address this problem? After Effects CS6 doesn't recognize my Nvidia Quadro K5000 + Tesla c2075 (Maximus) setup. What should I do?
    Best,
    Oscar.

    That is not a configuration that After Effects CS6 will use for the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
    See the After Effects CS6 system requirements:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-effects.html#After Effects CS6 system requirements
    The Quadro K5000 was added to the whitelist for the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer in After Effects CC (12.0).

  • My Photoshop CC don't detect my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M.

    Hi!
    Please help me...
    My Photoshop CC don't detect my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M.
    I read a lot of topics in network - nothing help me...:
    1) I update my GPU Driver to newest.
    2) I set a 3d settings in Nvidia Control Panel.
    3) I try to change a lot of settings in Photoshop (nothing happen)
    4) I restarted my computer 100 times.
    My seetings:
    Could you help me?
    Thanks!

    Solved it!!
    I have gtx 870m and it worked for me.
    In the "nvidia control panel" / "manage 3D settings" / "Program Settings" you hate to add the gpu sniffer.
    click "add" then "Browse" and the find "sniffer.exe"
    C:/Program files/adobe/adobe photoshop/sniffer.exe
    Than just open photoshop normally and it should work.

  • Nvidia GeForce GTX 485M GPU - Anyone Used It?

    I'm about to pull the trigger on a new Sager laptop for CS5.5 MC.
    I have the options for the Nvidia GeForce GTX 485M GPU with 2GB GDDR5 Video Memory, or the Nvidia Quadro FX 3800M Graphics with 1GB DDR3 Video Memory. The difference is ~ US$500, and pays for a bunch of other options.
    Unless it has just been updated, the GTX 485M is not directly supported for hardware MPE, but I assume that by applying the hack for that card, it should work. Does anyone have experience with that less-expensive card?
    My old workstation (soon to be replaced too), has a Quadro FX-4500, which has been a stout card for years, however was crazy expensive, and I never have really put it to the test, considering what I do.
    If I have to go with the FX 3800M, then so be it, but I'd rather buy more toys.
    Thanks for your observations and thoughts,
    Hunt
    PS - I know that Sager's biggest market is the gaming world, but it is getting harder to get a top-level laptop without SLI for dual-nVidia cards/chips, or Crossfire for the ATI/AMD. As soon as I take delivery, Adobe will probably announce that PrPro NOW fully supports SLI, but I'll live with it.

    Hey, it would not be the first time, that I was the "new kid on the block," with something, but not lately...
    Will probably go with it, and then run the Benchmark, just to get it listed. The Quadros are nice, BUT not sure that the laptop would really benefit from one, and especially to the tune of + US $ 500.
    Thanks,
    Hunt

  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX GPU support for the Mac

    When are you going to support GPU for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX on the Mac in the new After Effects CC?
    Please also consider this a request as well.

    > When do you think us ATi Radeon card users will get a versionof AE that will use our GPU
    After Effects already uses ATI/AMD cards for GPU features, and has for years. The single exception is one feature: the GPU acceleration for the ray-traced 3D renderer.

  • Photoshop CS6 doesn't recognize my Fuji XT-1 HD Movie File

    Hi all,
    Can anyone give me a hand with this? I keep getting an error message telling me that PSCS6 doesn't recognize this  FFDB.DAT file. I'm super confused because I thought all movies were supposed to show up as .mov. Can anyone help? I'd like to get this figured out asap.
    Thanks so much,
    Stacey
    Message was edited by: Stacey Lewis
    Update: I formatted my SD card and now I see my .mov file and can navigate to it fine. NOW, the issue is that Photoshop just tells me the file can't be opened but I can view it in QuickTime just fine. Does this narrow it down and can someone give me a fix for this? This is a trial version of PSCS6 I'm using.

  • Cs6 doesn't recognize NVidia Card for graphics processing?

    On starting up Cs6 for the first time, the program said that it doesn't recognize the NVidia GeForce 7300 GT. Is this right? Is this going to be true for the release?

    That's a bummer. I had the same problem but can't remember the exact steps I took to fix it. At first it would not recognize my graphics cards because they were different (NVIDEA, RADEON), and would ONLY recognize the NVIDEA 7300. Then I updated all the drivers and swapped the order of my cards around, and changed the slot settings with the Expansion Slot utility (if you are on an older MacPro). After some tweaking they all loaded and are working well but don't have all the extra features that a new graphics card would have.

  • Photoshop CS5 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 Crash

    My specifications:
    Photoshop CS5 (x64)
    Windows 7 x64
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 (latest v197.45 driver)
    Intel i7 920 2.67 GHz
    My card is listed as a tested card for CS5 and NVIDIA says this is compatible with CS5, but today after using it, my screen went blank and the display driver recovered itself. It took about 5 minutes until Photoshop CS5 became responsive again and the GPU features were disabled. I am going to try GPU advanced mode and basic mode instead of normal mode to see what happens, but this is a shame that I have issues like this. I also had issues with CS4 like this.
    What I did to cause this issue: I clicked" Place.." to place an object and that is when it crashed. It only happens randomly as I use Photoshop. Please NVIDIA or Adobe fix this issue. I love the GPU features and I want to run them, but this crashing is annoying for spending so much on buying this product. I hate to have to pay to contact Adobe technical support, it should be included with the purchase of software!
    How to fix this without having to go to basic GPU mode or disabled GPU mode?

    With my own problems and a keen observer of this thread it making me think that I should stay away from Nvidia cards cards completed and go ATI
    It comes down to policies within companies that in some cases we simply cannot know.
    For example:
    Does nVidia or ATI have a better plan to support cards with new drivers into the future?  My experience is that right now, with my particular video card, ATI does a better job of making new features available (and making them work right) than nVidia.  Is this based on support policy or simply what the engineers can and can't do?  Maybe it's partially a matter of funding.
    Who has a better handle on how to develop unified software and keep it working on all a whole family of cards?  What is their software quality?  I am active on Windows forums, and it sure seemed to take nVidia a lot longer to stabilize their drivers for Windows 7 than ATI.
    Who has a better test lab?  You can imagine that if one company has a better built/funded/maintained test lab, they're more likely to make new versions of drivers for old cards work properly if they have a computer set aside somewhere with that old card in it just waiting to try out new drivers.  Unfortunately you can imagine with these companies making many, many new models all the time that funding that lab (and funding the MAINTENANCE of that lab) could get to be HUGE!
    Lastly, how much do Marketing or other greedy business people influence company direction, vs. Engineers?  Imagine a Marketing person's thoughts:  "Stop making new drivers for that old card; we're not selling those and haven't for a long time.  If a person has one and can't run the latest game or graphics software, he'll go buy a new one, and that's more money for us."
    By the way, just to get an idea of how many different cards we're talking about, look at the sheer number of models listed in the various lists on this page:  http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
    Just food for thought.

  • Photoshop CS5 doesn't recognize scanner

    Hi there,
    I bought a new iMac G5 (OS 10.6.4) four days ago only to find Photoshop CS5 was not recognizing the scanner on my two year old Samsung SCX 4500 Printer/Scanner (the printer works fine). I downloaded the most recent Samsung scanner driver (1.0) and Photoshop still doesn't recognize it. Both Preview and Image Capture on the Mac recognize the scanner which enables me to scan and then upload to Photoshop, but that adds a step I'd rather avoid. Unfortunately it seems that a lot of people are losing printer/scanner compatibility when they upgrade.
    Any thoughts on a fix?
    thanks

  • What video card do I need to make Photoshop CC 2014 to use 3D? I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB graphics.

    What video card do I need to make Photoshop CC 2014 to use 3D? I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB graphics.

    A couple of questions:
    1.  Have you tried resetting your preferences?
    2.  If you go to Preferences > Performance - is "Use Graphics Processor" enabled?  If not, can you select it?
    Your system should be fine to support 3D in PS CC 2014.  Once I have more information from you we can move onto next steps if necessary.
    Thanks,

  • How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

    1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
    2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
    And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti And AE CS6 OpenGL?

    Im going to get new computer soon and i was wondering if NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti is compatible with Adobe After Effects CS6? I would like to know if it does support OpenGL rendering with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti, that would be great

    I get it, but i think it's a shame that such a great tool as raytrace is supported only by few cards, and very expensive too.
    I'm not a professional user of AE, i just enjoy some of my free time with it, but i was thinking of upgrading to AE6 license. Unfortunately, i discovered that it doesnt support my video card (Radeon HD6850) for GPU rendering and in this setup i can go to sleep before a frame is rendered ( Phenom II X4, 8gb ram, i know it's not that much, but 3DS max is not that computationally important).
