Photoshop CS6 have problems with my dual graphics card

I'm currently using photoshop cs6 on my laptop (hp pavilion dv4 3114 ), and this laptop has dual graphics cards(one is mobile intel hd graphics, the other one is ati hd 6750), it ususlly switches to the faster one when games are running or some software that requires a lot of graphic work. But this time I have already set in the graphics card profile to let photoshop use the faster one, but when I launch photoshop cs6 it tells me that the graphics card is not officially supported, as you can see this in the screenshot.
Then I turned to photoshop's preference(performence) and found it only identifies the mobile intel hd graphics. I'm currently using photoshop for designing large posters so performence is very important for me. Is anyone know how to solve this problem so that photoshop can run with the highest performence?

II can't imagine how these computer companies expect to fully integrate GPUs from two different vendors, but they're trying. To me, knowing a bit about how display drivers are implemented, it seems an impossible task.
I hve heard (in the context of Macs that have this option) that disabling the low power options so that only the more powerful GPU is active can help. I don't know if that can apply to your system, but it might give you an idea of a place to start looking.
Another thing might be to try to find whatever settings it offers for "affinity" and set it so Photoshop and its cousins use just the ATI GPU exclusively. It might be the "switchover" process that is causing the problems.
Good luck.

Problem with my amd graphic card

Hi.. I have a problem with my amd graphic card.. The card is amd radeon 6770m.. I did format on my laptop and when I tried to install the catalyst center which includes the driver, it displays a message which say that catalyst center stop working... I have downloaded all the versions of the driver since 2011 when I bought the laptop... But I have the same problem whichever version I try.. I also have updated the bios to the last version but nothing happens..I think maybe graphic card is broken.. Thanks for reading..

Hi @Lefteris93 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome.

Restart the notebook and download from here.

Problems with bootup: Damaged graphics card?

My comp has been running without problems for 2,5 years. Two days ago I removed my graphics card and hard drives so that I could get the dust out of my case. I put them back and restarted. The computer hangs at bootup and there's some beeps (1 long and 8 short, meaning defective video adapter) and the diagnostic leds hang at "Testing RTC". Clearing the CMOS didn't help. So, I replaced the adapter with an old GeForce 2 MX and the computer works with out problems... seems like a sure thing - I broke my graphics card.
The thing is that I decided to flash my bios from 5.6 to 5.7 and tried the card again and for some reason it worked. I soon noticed that I had forgot to plugin my HDD's and had to power down. When I restarted I got the same beeps again and couldn't get it to work.
So the question is: can the fault be in somewhere else than the graphics card? PSU?
Here' my computer's specs:
KT3 Ultra2
Antec True 380W (+5V 35A, +12V 18A, +3.3V 28A)
AMD Athlon XP 2200+
2 x 512 Kingston Value Ram
1x 80GB WD, 1x 40GB Seagate Barracuda
Creative GF4 Ti4600

I've tried that already. Doesn't work, either.
Seem like I have to go and buy a new card.

ThinkStation S10 problem with Nvidia GTS450 Graphics Card

Hi,
I have recently purchased this Thinkstation and decided that I wanted to change the graphics card as I will mostly be using it for media (ie DVD and Bluray on my LCD TV).
I purchased a Nvidia GT 440 originally but could not get anything to display through it and recieved 3 beeps (1 long and 2 short). I confirmed with the company I bought it from that it should be compatible, and had it tested by them to check the card was not faulty.
So I sent that back for a refund and bought a Nvidia GTS 450 thinking that as it takes separate power rather than through the motherboard maybe if it was an issue with power it might work but again got the 3 beeps and no display.
Both cards I tried also at the same time as the Quadro FX370 but still got no display even though the fans were turning.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First and foremost, the GTS450 is not a supported card. GeForce cards are not supported in Workstation class systems. This isn't just a Lenovo statement, but also the same response you'll get from Nvidia as well.
That being said, you're likely running into a ROM space issue in BIOS. With a known working card, try going into setup and disabling features such as PXE boot and the 2nd ethernet (assuming you're not using either of these). I know on the 20 series (non- Eseries) we made some BIOS optimizations that would sometimes allow cards like this to at least make it through POST successfully if you free up space by disabling unused features. Not sure if this same optimization made it into the S10/D10 series BIOS or not, but it's worth a shot.

How to diagnose a problem with my imac graphics card

I've been having some glitchy graphics when I scroll around a map in some basic gaming. (League of Lengends)
Is there a way to check if the graphic card is functioning correctly?
I noticed it after I went from Mt Lion to Mavericks, but that was a while ago and I dont know if that is the cause.
any help with this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I have problem with My dual LED flash On My iPhone 5s. The Amber LED doesnt work at All. I dont know Since when It happened,.. Does anyone Know how to solve This?

When i bought This iPhone 5s one Month ago, all The functionalities of This iPhone 5s worked normally. And somehow, i have just noticed that My amber_led doesnt work when i use My Camera. I am sure that i have The flash turned On at The screen. And Also The white LED working properly. So., does anyone Know how to Solve The issue? Thank you

I believe there are 1500 different mixes of brightness for the two LEDs to produce an accurate color tone on the "flashed" subject. So possibly there are situations where the bottom LED would appear brighter than the top one, especially in very cool lighting conditions...
also there are software algorithms to control how bright each is..reesetting the phones settings should fix the problem if notthen, its a hardware related issue bring to apple its under warranty

Problem with Hp xw4600 Graphics card upgrade

I have a hp xw4600 workstation with an nvidia quadro FX3700 gpu and I bought an nvidia quadro K2000 gpu
after I have plugged the new card in, it would not start and the cpu released a beep sound.
May I know what is the problem I am facing or what can I do to make it work?

I know nothing about this, but on the page linked for the K2000, it states
The Quadro K2000 is supported on the following HP Personal Workstations:

PHOTOSHOP CS6 PLUGIN PROBLEM; I have PS CS6

PHOTOSHOP CS6 PLUGIN PROBLEM; I have PS CS6 & a mac osx 10.7.5 I have downloaded the pluginhttps://sourceforge.net/projects/panotools/ I drag it to the applications folder (applications/photoshop/plugins) and it shows up there, but it does not show up when I reopen photoshop, can anyone tell me if this is a valid plugin or what I am doing wrong?

Thank you for the link, I don't see where the licensing is listed at all, I also don't see where it says it is for existing CS2 users only & the line install a special version that does not require activation -
doesn't scream it'd be a problem to load it especially since I already own a later version that I can't use the plugin on - …I don't find the site all that informative. I appreciate all the answers & responses to my use of CS2 but I'd really just like to receive an answer to the original question of if the plugin works with it or not…if anyone has that answer I'd appreciate it.
Is there a place I can purchase it? I will gladly do so if I can get the plugin to work-that is my goal.

I have problems with uploading images to my printing company have the images have been manipulated through CS6 i have saved images as jpeg but the printer company tell me they are not j peg, they will not upload images save from a camera are fine

I have problems with uploading images to my internet printing company when the images have been manipulated through CS6 and i have saved images as jpeg the printer company tell me they are not j peg,
but images saved from my phone or camera images that have not been manipulated upload fine, What am i doing wrong?

Save/Export them as JPG. Photoshop defaults to PSD, so make sure you select JPG and not just rename the file to .jpg.
There are two ways to save them as JPG: Regular Save as option or Save for Web & Devices
Take your pick.

I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS

I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS6 on two computers and it works fine on one of them. I have tried to reinstall it without succeeding to fix the problem. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution to it?
"Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation."

You must have a Mac. Try this.
Quit Bridge, from user library (NOT system and root library) preferences folder find and delete the com.adobe.bridge5.plist file manual. Do this also in same user library caches folder (Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6) and inhere find and the folder called 'cache' and drag it to the trash.
restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences, then try again.

Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the graphics driver installation for W2k

I have installed windows 2000 on an A120 the system is fully service packed and up to date before I even begin installing the required drivers I am unable to restart the system. Once I install the drivers as recommended I have problems with the graphics driver as it will not install because it requires a restart and then I am unable to install any new programs that require a restart as the driver has not installed correctly.
The laptop is a A120 Pro, 1 week old and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support as I have changed the O/S even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop as they supply the drivers.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

the reason the driver is not working is down to a problem with the windows 2000 not having the ability to reboot.
When you select restart the system appears to power down then stays switched on. Now if I try to install software I get an error saying that the system needs to complete a restart to finish the install of the driver.
The restart problem happens as soon as win2k is installed as although I have now shipped the laptop to the sales team I have another one which has just had a clean install of win2k without any drivers and the fault is present on this one.
I am thinking it could be to do with power management but I'm not to sure as I have never come across this as I normally purchase machines which accept just about any O/S.
