Photoshop CS6 GPU Support

The Photoshop CS6 GPU FAQ says the following nVidia GPUs are supported
nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 series
A new computer I am considering has a 600 series GPU. Does that mean PS CS6 won't support this new computer? Will the GPU Sniffer determine it's not a supported GPU and just not use it? Hard to believe the software won't use it.

It depends on what you use it for.  HD video editing and large image files, or just run of the mill stuff.  Do recommend 1 gig VRAM, but only need moderate priced card.
Here is a link for rating cards.  A score of 1000 is great for almost anything.  Over that you do not need unless a gamer.

  • Photoshop CS4 - GPU support on standard ?

    Does Photoshop CS4 standard benefit from the GPU support , OpenGL 2.0 ?

    Not sure about the 8800 but my 8600GT with 512MB and the latest driver released by NVidia this month works really well. I found I need to leave the Harware Acceleration slider all the way to the right. Any setting less than the max caused some visual artifacts and double images to appear.

  • What was the last version of Photoshop CS6 that supported 3d with less VRAM?

    My iMac has 256mb of VRAM. Where can I download a version of Photoshop CS6 that has the lower VRAM requirements?

    13.0.1, I believe.

  • 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.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended 64-Bit GPU Acceleration Stopped Working

    I've been using Photoshop CS6 Extended 64-bit when one day the GPU acceleration features stopped working. I closed the application and restarted it and the GPU acceleration still didn't work. I couldn't rotate the canvas or use scrubby zoom. I rebooted my system and it still wasn't working. I check my performance preferences and my graphics processor was detected with the "Use Graphics Processor" box checked. I unchecked it and rechecked but the GPU acceleration still wasn't working. I uninstalled Photoshop CS6 and reinstalled it. I got the GPU acceleration to work opening the application right after the install. I close Photoshop CS6 64-bit and reopened it and the GPU acceleration wasn't working again. I am able to use GPU acceleration features in Photoshop CS6 32-bit with no problem. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Ultimate Edition and I have a GeForce 280m GTX GPU. Would there be anyone out there who can help me with this issue. Thanks.

    From what I gathered on this Forum there is a good chance that it may be related to the driver – unfortunately it could be either becasuse it’s obsolete or a bad new version.

  • When will Photoshop (CS6) support mac retina displays?

    Hi,
    Just curious as to when Photoshop (CS6) will support the retina display of the new macbook pro?  I've searched around and haven't seen any news about it since august.  Did the update come out and I missed it?
    Thanks!

    Well, a few months ago Adobe promised the Retina update would be out before year-end...
    And now the latest is, it looks like it could be out as soon as December 11th - so here's hoping.

    There is the issue: 256 MB is not enough for 3D. You need at least 512MB for the current version of Photoshop CS6 (13.1)

  • I have a problem with Adobe Photoshop CS6

    I have a  MacBook Pro 13" Dual-Core i5 2.5GHz/4GB /Intel HD 4000/SD I don't know why the scrubby zoom does't work for me.
    Please help me..

    It's supported when the GPU reports to Photoshop it can provide what Photoshop needs.  Adobe lists those they have tested toward the bottom of this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html
    Near as I can tell, yours is listed.
    If you are not able to enable the Use Graphics Processor setting, it's likely because either something's installed that interferes with the driver on your system - or the driver is faulty and needs to be updated.  Mac users must get driver updates through Apple with OS updates.
    To diagnose the issue further will require a Mac expert, which I am not.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop CS6/CC performance with Quadro 1000M/2000M vs. Radeon HD 7970M/8970M

    I am trying to find any benchmarks on how these two GPUs compare for Photoshop work. Does anybody have any pointers to information or even subjective thoughts?
    I am led to believe from my research that a number of the filters in CS5 are using OpenCL. For OpenCL the Radeon 7970M is far superior to the Quadros. However, I am not able to find information on the overall performance of the Quadros vs. the Radeons for Photoshop.
    The work with Photoshop will be for static images - creation of images rather than manipulation of source.
    I am looking to get a Thinkpad W530, but it only comes with the Quadro GPUs. If I do get it, will I be getting a slow machine for Photoshop 2D work, assuming that the Quadro's are really targeted at 3D CAD work?

    I don think Photoshop will stress any GPU it supports. For Photoshop make sure Adobe tested the GPU with the version of Photoshop your using. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tested-video-cards-photoshop-cs5.html 
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html
    If your also going to use the machine for gaming get the fastest GPU that also works  with Photoshop. I did not see Quadro 1000 listed Quadro 2000 was listed in CS6 . Radeons HD 7000 series listed in CS6 list of texted GPU.

  • Using Mac Mini with Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom

    Hi
    I use Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 mainly as I am a photographer. It involves both programmes live and some huge PSD files kicking around. I would be interested in hearing from any one who does similar on a high end mac mini. I am thinking of getting the high end new i7 with 16g and an SSD.
    Any good ?

    While it will not deliver 'blazing fast' performance, it has tested OK with Photoshop CS6 MGE recently and it has faired decently well in some benchmark reports. Since the OP insisted Mac Mini, I think he can go for it. Also, since his work demands more 'Photo-specific' editing, I guess he should be good. Not much 3D I assume!
    Here are some references:
    http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Adobe-Photoshop-CS6-GPU-Acceleration-161 - Look at benchmark reports (images) for Z77 chipset
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html - HD4000 has been tested with CS6 by Adobe
    And I haven't heard of a 'reported failure' per se yet.

  • Photoshop CS6 a little 'jerky' when moving layers & resizing window (Macbook Pro Retina 650m)

    As title says, when I open Photoshop CS6 and simple make a new layer and either use the type tool, it appears to be a little Sluggish/Jerky when moving the layer around.. The same applies when resizing photoshop itself.
    I'm updated to the latest version of CS6 and have tried all the combinations in the 'Performance' section of Photoshop.
    My Macbook Pro Retina is the 3.4ghz 650m and 8GB RAM offering (OS Mavericks). It's really annoying me as even my old laptop could run it smoothly and that was an i5 and much lower-end graphics card.
    The only way I can really describe it (and i'm no tech professional) is when comparing it to silky smooth 60 fps, it looks like it's skipping frames and in term looking 'jerky'. I also use Illustrator and don't really witness the same problem with it.
    I know this may have been asked quite a bit.. But I've never found the solution.. Could anybody advise me on what it potentially could be down too? (Might I add the laptop has just had a fresh install of the OS and a fresh copy of CS6)

    You could check through the GPU FAQ for anything you might have missed
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html
    You say you have tried all settings in Performance, but I wonder what your  cache levels are set at?  If more than 1, then OK.
    There's the general performance FAQ (no doubt lots of overlap)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
    Is this with all image docs, or particular ones?  For instance I have been playing with using ACR to process 32bit HDR files, and it puts a huge load on the system.
