Photoshop isn't detecting my Graphics Card

I recently installed a Radeon R7 240 graphics card and am still having problems with CC. Everytime i start it I received the "3d features require a minimum of 512MB of vRAM. Photoshop has detected less than that on your system."
I have 2GB of VRAM. Is there any way to force Photoshop to recognize the new graphics card?

Check Help->System Info to see what your video cards and drivers are reporting to applications.
Most likely you just need to update the drivers from your GPU maker's website.

Vista can not detect my graphic card ATI HD2600 on Satellite A210-128

Hallo,
Can someone help me with this issue?
I have a Toshiba Satellite A210-128 laptop with vista separately on DVD, but it seems that the dvd is damaged and I can not use it any more.
I have installed on my laptop a brand new Vista from the original DVD that Im using it on my desktop, but the problem is that vista can not detect my graphic card hd2600.
So Im stuck...... I tried to install the ati driver from the Toshiba update site but I get a error because ccc can not detect a graphic card ?????/
What to do????
It is something special with the DVD that i have from Toshiba ?????
Thank you very much.

The whole issue is really mysterious. In my opinion there are two options;
Either your have used and tried to install a wrong graphic driver or there is something wrong with your GPU chip.
Are you 100% that you tired an right graphic driver from the Toshiba European driver page?
If yes, then I recommend contacting the ASP in your country because this could be really an hardware issue.
Furthermore I found you second posting in other thread

and I think more and more that this must be an graphic card issue.

Photoshop CC - force selection of graphics card when dual graphics cards in use

I have Photoshop CC on Win 8 with 2 graphics cards. The inbuilt and the extra card.
This enables me to utilise 4 monitors in my dev environment.
It is not practical to remove a card as I need all 4 monitors.
I have tested disabling each card (one at a time) and Photoshop finds the GPU and works fine.
Q. Is there a FIX to force Photoshop to select a chosen Graphics Card?
Looking around the web, this seems like a large problem.
Regards,
Chris

As per tech specification of Photoshop CC you must require 512MB of vRAM of graphic driver installed.
Tech Specification Photoshop CC:
http://www.adobe.com/in/products/photoshop/tech-specs.html
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
The Graphics card installed on the machine have only 256MB vRAM.
Hereby, Photshop gives you warning to resolve it.

Photoshop CS6 wont use my graphics card.

When I try to use the Oil Paint filter tool I receive an error claiming that an "uknown graphics processor error" had occured. I then checked under my preferences and Photoshop is not using the correct graphics card. Is there a way for me to fix this problem so that I can use photoshop? I have a switchable radeon graphics card in my computer and use catalyst control center to manage it.

Your ATI driver is old, and your Intel HD chipset isn't capable.
So that means that OpenCL isn't available.
Try updating the ATI drivers from the ATI website.

Photoshop not working properly with graphics card.

When I start PS, it has given me messages about making sure I have up to date graphics card drivers, which I do. If I enable Open Gl drawing in Photoshop it won't open some documents or crashes. If I disable open GL drawing, it opens the documents, but obviously isn't giving me the display performance I need. I have been running this setup for about 6 months, but have only started having problems this week. I am running Photoshop CS4 and an nvidia GTX 295.
Don't appear to be having any catastrophic graphics card problems (touch wood), as I can still run Crysis! Can anybody help me please?

Thanks for your help guys. It works with open gl using the previous driver. The performance still isn't as good now, but workable. It takes a second to zoom and takes a second to go from looking slightly pixellated to looking smooth. There's also a slight lag on input. Guess I just work with it, till nvidia release another driver that works properly. :/

[SOLVED] Z77 Mpower can't detect second graphic card

Hi everyone
I'm experiencing a problem with my Z77 Mpower.
It's not able to detect the second graphic card.
The complete configuration includes:
Z77 Mpower
i5 2500k
2*4Go G.skill 1866MHz
GTX680
8800GT
Crucial M4 256Go
Corsair AX750
The idea was recycling my old 8800GT as a dedicated physx card
Due to massive cooling the GTX680 will be installed on the second port
Both graphic cards works perfectly when installed alone and I also tested with a GTX570 and results are the same
When I install only one card, it works on 1st port at 16x or 2nd port at 8x,
but if there is 2 cards installed only the first works and bus-width is 8x according to CPU-Z, the second one is invisible in windows, GPU-Z or driver
I didn't tested the 3rd port because my sandy bridge has limited pcie lane
I tested it with bios 17.4 and beta H53, results are the same, I also tried with and without 6 pins power supply on the mainboard and the problem is still the same.
I tried this graphic cards configuration on a gigabyte z68 ud4 and same cpu, ram, vga and psu and it works perfectly.
Is there a bios setting to enable multi gpu ? (tried to enable igp multi screen without result)
Is it possible to have defective pcie port for multi gpu when all pcie ports works alone ?
I have another question about this motherboard
is it possible to have a dynamic vcore related to eist while overclocking ?
on the gigabyte z68 ud4 it's possible by setting vcore on normal and playing with load line calibration and offset
on the mpower this settings appears in bios but are not graduated the same way and I don't understand how they works.
Thanks for your help

Thanks for your help flobelix
I already tried and benched this physx configuration on my old gigabyte motherboard
in non physx games the 8x limitation barely don't affect the gtx680
in physx games the 8800gt isn't fully loaded and framerate is near the gtx680 alone with physx disabled.
this configuration gives physx graphical bonus without affecting framerate
the 120W limit of the MK13 may be for fanless use, I have 2 90mm fans attached directly on the heatsink and under furmark the card runs 20°C lower than stock cooling and is very silent
I also kept the stock molded metal plate that cool the power supply and ram under the MK13
But due to this cooling this card can't be installed on the first slot
on the gigabyte until you set the dedicated physx card in the driver both cards and all outputs on cards sends the same signal to screen (bios screen is also sent to all cards)
on my mpower only the first sends signal to screen, but i should be able to set (only for testing purpose) the 8800gt as main device and the gts680 as physx card
unfortunately it don't work because it looks like when a card is plugged on 1st port the mainboard disables the 2nd

Does Mac Pro auto-detect USB graphics card?

Hi
I have Mac Pro with a half dead motherboard. For whatever reason it can't recognize graphic cards. I've tried switching around with other similar graphic cards from other working Mac Pro's with the same specs (early 2008).
If I plug in a USB graphics card, does that start working immediately or does it need to be installed before anything happens?
I realize this Mac Pro is probably going to die on me any day now. But the USB cards are cheap (since work is paying), I can utilize it until it dies, even with weak graphic power.
Thanks.

I doubted there was anything to be done about the internal graphics, that's why I neglected to give other details.
I just realized it was an older Mac Pro than I originally thought.
It's this one with 2x3.0GHz Xeon processors (A1186) (EMC 2113)
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP30
We run Lion on all our machines.
It used to be spending it's days as a Metadata controller for an XSAN 2.0. But we've upgraded to Lion Server, on two Mac Mini's. So it's out of a job until I can get it to give me an image on a screen.
So the card it's not seeing is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB (probably died).
I tested these
NVIDIA GeForce 6600
NVIDIA GeForce 210 512 MB
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
But none of these appear to be on the list of compatibles for my Mac.
I just need it to work for cheap right now. Buying a internal graphics card is to expensive because it's basically going to be an oversized and overpowered harddrive (maybe subjected to some SMB share experimentations).
Right now I can't even get it on our network because I can't see the MAC Addresses
So no remote controlling either...

Photoshop CS6 trigger to Upgrade Graphics Card?

Photoshop CS6 beta release "the first version to integrate the company's GPU-accelerating Mercury Graphics Engine (MGE)". Does this mean that I could expect speed benefits in Photoshop if I upgrade the NVIDIA 8800GT card in my early 2008 Mac Pro?
I have been wondering about whether I should upgrade my 8800GT for a while (my box is fine: new PSU, plenty of RAM) and thought if Photoshop will benefit that might be my prompt to act.

I have read from couple people at different times that 1GB VRAM is not enough and the "special" MVC 2.5GB GTX's have lots of... punch.
The 5770s is okay standard Mac Pro offering - two yrs ago = some had noisey fans but there have been 3 revisions since probably and they are and should be quiet.
Quiet and high performance do not always go togehter. One of the downfalls of the 8800GT is... they fail, and they don't have the best fan and cooling, they aren't dual-slot width in desgin. There are copper coolers but I wouldn't - it has just 512MB unless you got a custom flashed version.
OpenCL has improved but hard to develop, it needs too much work to optimize the code for one thing. And new compilers - great but will they get used to develop CUDA+OpenCL code?
Hope the Nvidia GTX 670 becvomes a real offering. At $399 it is actually in the same cost as a 5870 was.
A Quadro 4000 or whatever comes after it with 2GB is or should be considered as well. Yes?
64-bit kernel mode and 24GB RAM or more. 16GB and not using 64-bit mode may help from where you are of course, but might want to have more to get the most out of your system.

Problems with the graphic card and adobe photoshop cs5

Besonderheiten: 80 Watt Netzteil
as you can see, absolute new hardware...
now photoshop tells her that her graphic card wouldnt fit the requirements, and allways switches to "software-sides" rendering.
this can't be true, this mashine is running hardchore grafic apps, and has the newest ATI Raedon Gra-Card (2 of them) which even now has a native support for open GL.
the computer has all latest drivers (no newer versions available)
so what to do?
i can't even tell photoshop manually in the settings to enable open GL...
i defenitally reached the end of my knowledge here.. i tried everything, also changing (as suggested by photoshop) the open GL settings of the graphic card card. no changes ...
need help with this one..
thank you already for your time and hopefully help

Photoshop cs5 with 128 graphic card

Hi
I am thinking of getting Photoshop cs5, but the minimum graphic card spec is 256mb or something like that. I only have 128mb. I think this is the only thing that does not match up to Photoshop. It says something about open GL but not sure what this is and if I have it. I think the mac is about two and a half years old the first silver iMac. Is it ok to use the iMac with cs5 even though the graphics is not good enough? Will it do any harm to the computer or will it just be a bit slow? Is the graphic spec so high because of the 3d options photoshop has and if I used it mainly for photography rather than graphics will it would be ok to use Photoshop? Thanks for any help

If your computer doesn't meet the minimum specifications then at best the performance would be horrible and may not run CS5 at all. Your 3.5 year old iMac probably should be upgraded to a new iMac. Assuming your computer is still in pretty good shape you could sell it (Macs have good resale value) and use the money towards a new machine. Another avenue to look at is Apple's refurbished iMacs, these are a great value and come with the same warranty as a new machine and are eligible for AppleCare. The inventory changes very quickly sometimes several times a day so if you are interested visit: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac?mco=OTY2ODY3Nw

Photoshop CC not detect nVidia GeForce GTX 680 after driver upgrade (Windows 8 64-bit)

i just upgraded the driver for my nVidia GeForce 680 graphics card from the nVidia website. the specifications are shown below. Photoshop CC now says that it can't detect my graphics card. does anyone know the solution to this problem?
nVidia verstion 327.23 WHQL
release date: Sept 9, 2013
operating system: windows 8 64-bit
will adobe have to issue an update to photoshop CC to fix the problem?

hey chris,
thx for relplying. i appreciat it. here is what happened. i did an update through microsoft and downloaded a driver for nVidia. somehow that download caused PS CC to stop recognizing my GTX 680. i'm not sure why. subsequent to that, i went to nVidia's website and downloaded the current driver. i still found that PS CC didn't "see" my graphics card. that is when i wrote this post. after i posted this i rebooted my computer and found that everything now works fine. PS CC now recognizes my GeForce GTX 680 with no problems.

AMD Radeon Graphics Card Not Found! Please Help HP Envy M6...

When I head into device manager, it shows that I have only an Inter (R) HD Graphics 4000 graphics card even though the laptop is said to have an AMD Radeon built in... I've upgraded my version of Windows but it doesn't make sense, why does this driver go away? I've reinstalled every driver there is for the AMD series... I can't get my laptop to detect the graphics card, has anyone had this problem? I've seen this on threads too but the answers weren't helpful at all because they just redirected the user with a link to another thread which isn't relating to a graphics card. Is there any way I can fix this so my laptop can detect my graphics card?
Note: When I run AMD's 'automatic driver checker', it CANT EVEN DETECT IT ... Please help me, there's just one too many problems with this laptop aside from the fact that it overheats like crazy.
Thank you,
Shehryar.

This is the picture that I've taken, you can see that the Intel HD Graphics 4000 is indeed there however, I found an unknown device at the bottom. There is NO information of this device, here is the 'info' for the unknown device:
Device type : Other
Manufacturer : Unknown
Location : On PCI Express Root ComplexUpdate driver will not work. I'll look for more but that's really it... Thanks Shovon_Khan!

Graphic card problems - AMD Fire Pro M5100 in AutoCAD and Intel 4600 in Windows applications

Hello,
I have some serious problems with graphic cards in my laptop. All newest drivers are downloaded and installed from HP site.
First problem is related to rendering some applications. Some GUI elements have horizontal stripes. This can be observed also in HP Support Assistant app. The problem is visible in screenshot. If I disable hybrid mode in BIOS, then the problem disappears.
The second problem is related to AutoCAD 2015. Some of the GUI elements are not rendered correctly. But that does not bother me that much, a bigger problem is related to hardware acceleration. AutoCAD successfully detect my graphic card (AMD Fire Pro M5100), but when I switch on the hardware acceleration mode everything starts to work very slowly. It is impossible to work with some larger documents. If I disable hardware acceleration, everything works very smoothly.
I do not believe that this graphic card does not have the power to work with basic CAD drawing. On AutoCAD forum I received information that this is probably related to bad drivers.
Can anybody help me? This laptop has been recommended to me for CAD work and I am a bit dissapointed. But I am sure that this can be fixed.
AMD drivers: 14.301.1003.1003-141203a-178403C-HP
Intel drivers: 10.18.10.3871 (I have also tried the newest ones, 10.18.10.3995 - no difference)

From this link, some people have found success by downgrading their graphics driver to an previous version. Looks like there are a few peole experiencing issues with AutoDesk products and this card - you might also try to contact AutoDesk directly and ask if they have a certified driver for your card.
Incidentally, I have the same card, though I am experiencing a different problem. I swapped in a dell version of the card into my HP machine, but now realize that I need the HP VBIOS instead of the Dell to get it to run.
If my answer helped you and you have a spare minute or two, I would be very grateful if you'd share a copy of your (hp-specific) VBIOS from your card?
If so, download GPU-Z, start it and hit, "Save to file..." to save the .rom for your card. Attach file to resonse to share.
Best of luck in sorting out the performance issues. I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that Autodesk uses DirectX more where Firepro's emphasize Opengl performance. Hopefully one of these driver fixes will make a difference.

MSI GS70 GTX 765 graphics card issue

I've been using the laptop for close to 8 months and had no problems with it until I felt the need to plug it to an external monitor via a mini dp to DVi cable. It worked perfectly for a few days. I watched a few seasons of house of cards on it and one day, all of a sudden the external monitor is blank and from here on it doesnt work when connected to an external monitor. i tried the hdmi port instead, i tried the other mini DP port. I also tried a lot of different things like updating the nvidia grpahics, updating the intel graphics, I uninstalled and reinstalled all the drivers, finally after doing all of this and getting no results, i restored the laptop to its factory settings, thinking that this must be a problem that windows 8.1 caused. Even after getting it back to windows 8, its still the same. in the device manager, under display adapter, right next to the nvidia geforce gtx 765m, there's a hazard sign. So that means it detects the graphics card, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. I tried installing a varied bunch of nvidia drivers too, if that means anything . Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I've posted results I got from GPU-Z. The clock rates of the GPU seem to be at zero. I'm glad that it is getting detected, but there's still the hazard sign in the device manager. What gives? :/

1. Make sure the mini-DP to DVI cable is not damaged first. Borrow another laptop or machine to try the cable to make sure it's okay.
2. Remove all NVIDIA drivers and install the NVIDIA driver from here: http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GS70-STEALTH.html#down-driver
Select your OS to download. Remember to check "Perform a clean installation" while running NVIDIA driver installer.
3. Press Fn+F2 to manually switch on the video output (MSI shortcut key function).
4. Press Windows+P to manually switch on the video output (Windows function).
5. If none of the above worked, update your BIOS & EC & remove all power sources of the laptop & poke the reset hole on the right side. Then power on again.
6. Try step 3 & 4 again.
4. If still none of the above worked, I'm afraid you may need to send it to local authorized service point to find & fix the problem.
