Photoshop problem disabled GPU

I have Adobe CS5.
It won't work in 64 only 32.
I got the message "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video adapter manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
I've just reinstlled but it still is 32......
My graphics card info:
OpenGL Version: 2.1 NVIDIA-7.12.9
Video Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Video Card Renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M OpenGL Engine
I'm running OS X 10.7.2
I can't find that driver on the Nvidea website so can't find if there is a driver update. If there was I would hope it would come in by 'IOS update' but I don't know how to check.
If anyone can help I'd be so grateful and relieved. I really need this program to work well and I've been battling and researching it for a year.
Would installing CUDA help? Computers aren't my skill but I'm trying!
Thank you.

Try updating the video driver.

  • Photoshop Disables GPU Enhancements

    For some reason, when starting up Photoshop (CS 4) on my intel iMac, it says the following:
    "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software."
    I've checked back on the NVIDIA website for any such thing, and seems nonexistent. Any help would be appreciated because visual quality really suffers at it's pretty annoying.
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop with occasional GPU driver problem

    Dear all,
    Sometimes when I start photoshop, I get a message saying: "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
    I have the latest graphics drivers installed, but this message does not always occur when I start Photoshop although the driver does not change. So, I guess there might be some other reason causing this error message.
    I am running Photoshop on a Thinkpad with Windows XP Professional.
    Regards,
    WM

    What is the level of OGL implemented by your card? Adobe has an OGL compatability app that ships with AE. Hopefully yours is 2.1 or later. If not, then get a new card. A new driver will not help. If you are really lucky, then there is a flash ROM update for the card to up-rev the OGL, but that is very rare.
    As a side note: I am not sure how this myth gat started, but PS actually puts very little strain on GPU acceleration compared to visualization, CAD and compositing apps. It is a minor issue compared to other offerings in the CS4 family (PP and AE come to mind).
    The Engineering team knows there are issues with their use of OGL. They are working hard to get a solution in the hands of folks quickly.
    The first recommendation is to disable all "advanced OGL settings" and see how you do.

  • CS4 is Constantly disabling GPU enhancements

    Each time I open CS4 and the initial image I get this message, "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software."
    I'm writing to the Adobe Forum because GeForce feels they are not the cause of the problem. Here is what I've done toward resolving this problem:
    As a side note let me add here that after upgrading CS2 to CS4 this error message appeared religiously. That caused me to purchased an Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT display adapter w/ 512mb memory. Prior to installing the new card I downloaded their newest drivers for this card after removing the old drivers. Originally I had a GeForce 7600 card. The error message continued with the new card. I've searched the settings within CS4 trying to find an option that would resolve the problem. This machine has a new motherboard, a D945GNT Intel board. It will support 64-bit however I'm currently running XP Pro 32-bit, SP3. It also has a new Pentium D dual core processor. I have 4 GB of RAM.
    Have I overlooked a setting in the CS4 program that will resolve the issue? The graphics are slow to regenerate if you move in or out. Bridge is slow to generate all images in folders. As I view the tutorials on the Net I see normal regens where mine are slow. And last but certainly not least, other programs are slow to open. I've done several virus scans and turned up nothing. I've run chkdsk /r on all of my drives. I've run defrag on all my drives as well as Disk Cleanup.
    I've got a copy of Vista Ultimate heading my way. I'm prepared to wipe the c-drive and begin over. Do you think my problems will go away after the new operating system in installed or is this my second bad 9600 GT video card?

    Folks,
    I tested several older and newer cards with the new CS4 enhancements on Win XP SP3 workstations. Here my lowdown (or 2 cents):
    Issues on all cards, no matter what:
    -All cards did have the one issue when displaying an image on a 2nd monitor: Background showing through. Just maximize the image window and the problem is gone. This happens to all my 6 video cards, no matter what driver, brand or GPU!
    How to avoid the "GPU Message" and reduce drawing issues:
    Here two cards that deliver a pretty decent price/performance (nothing is perfect, really). Key: The DEVIL IS IN THE GPU SETTINGS DETAILS! With these settings, we had a good performance with brushes, clone/healing, zooming and NO MORE GPU MESSAGE:
    NVidia GeForce 8600 - 512MB
    Use the following settings, and the error messages are gone:
    -Vertical Sync: Yes
    -3D Interaction: Blank/Disabled
    -Force Bilinear Interpolation: No
    -Advanced Drawing: Yes
    -Use for Image Display: Yes
    -Color Matching: Yes
    ATI Radeon 4670 - 1GB
    -Vertical Sync: No
    -3D Interaction: Blank/Disabled
    -Force Bilinear Interpolation: No
    -Advanced Drawing: Yes
    -Use fro Image Display: No
    -Color Matching: Yes
    I really believe that you will encounter issues no matter what brand, type or age of GPU you're using. The Trick is to find the perfect GL settings for your card. Based on my research, the OS seems to have no impact.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,
    Bruno

  • How to disable GPU acceleration, really?

    I disabled GPU acceleration from settings menu but it is not effective.
    I did it from "''about:config''" menu "''gfx.direct2d.disabled -true''" but also not working.
    I did disable for all extension to check them but still have problem.
    The problem is firefox using my GPU on maximum clocks even for a '''simple page scrolling'''.
    It causes GPU clocks go up and down continuously, and VGA cooler also speeds up and goes down which creates cooler noise fluctuation.
    It is really irritating.
    Only thing I can do is to run firefox in windows xp compatibility mode.
    But this is just an interim solution.
    Now I updated version 11 and this still not fixed.
    I wrote about this problem a few times but still nothing.

    GPU accelerated pages=0 means Firefox is not using acceleration. The spike in the GPU clock when scrolling could be the Windows graphics acceleration. You can also try to file a detailed report [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ here.]

  • Direct Link to SpeedGrade disables GPU in CC2014.2

    Bug as noted in the other thread, but ... refined and clarified. Working in a Direct Link process, I cannot do anything whatever to the simplest sequence in Sg without an immediate notice that "There are insufficient Video Resources" and Sg is disabling GPU acceleration. This is, again, after it was using less than 3% of the GPU and only around 278Mb of vRAM. It then runs slow as molasses.
    If I just try to keep working, the time lag between clicking anything and response of the program continually slows ... starts at a couple seconds of lag, soon gets to 30 seconds between my action and its reaction. Totally unusable.
    I can restart and re-enable GPU ... but it will just keep doing the same thing.
    The only thing that gets me semi-back in operation is to simply go to the Pref's panel, re-set to "Use GPU accel" but WITHOUT re-starting. It will run semi so-so ... far faster than if I don't do this and simply try to keep working (as noted above) BUT ... definitely slower than it did on CC, or CC2014, through any of their minor builds.
    I've run CC Cleaner and wiped both PrPro & Sg ... downloaded fresh & re-installed. Exactly the same behavior.

    I posted this earlier in a the creative cloud forum with no responses.  I'll post it here to see what you guys think about it:
    I'm not too familiar with the forums at this point, although I have been using them for a few months to receive some great information.  However, I've got some good ideas, and perhaps you'll think of them as good ideas too.
    From what I understand, at the moment, there's no way to tell what problems may exist in any updated versions of the Adobe CC software.  For example, when recently updating to the newest version of Adobe SpeedGrade, I and many other people are having many troubles getting it to use the GPU.  Because of this, it is assumed to be a software issue that we all just have to deal with.  For the majority of us, uninstalling this version, removing ALL of its remnants (which can be important when using SSDs) and re-installing to the previous, working version can be a huge hassle, especially when the permission of an administrator (such as for those who do this for a living in the workplace) is required to do so.  This is what I have to say:
    At the moment, is there any way to know (by personal experience, not what Adobe claims to have fixed and updated) what problems and other changes may exist in the updated software without scouring each forum's posts for each CC application?If not, I propose creating a collective area in which people can list differences they've noticed throughout the newest version of the software and problems they may have experienced with it.
    So by this point, you're probably considering why anybody should do this.  Here are the reasons that I think that this would be a huge benefit to everybody:
    People, in advance, could look at the collective experiences of those daring enough to update to the newer versions.  This would help because:
    Now they can decide, for themselves, whether or not to update (rather than find out the hard way since no information regarding software bugs about the newer versions were made easily available).
    Remember, not all of us have an easy time uninstalling and re-installing things when parts of the new program no longer work. If there was one forum, or area, or whatever it takes, where people could post all of their experiences with any of the newest versions of the Adobe CC software, I feel that it would be a huge benefit to all of us.  Of course, people would have to be daring in the first place to try the newest software and then return to post about it, but for those of us who are not fortunate enough to do so, this would greatly help.  See, I'm stuck doing horrible color grading with SpeedGrade despite having two GTX 970s in this machine and am unable to turn back to a previous version (at least, it would make more sense for me to wait until a newer version of all the software comes out considering my employer).
    Let me know what you guys think about this idea, who I should talk to in order to make it a reality, or (most importantly) if an area on these forums already exists and I'm completely unaware of it.

  • Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?

    I'm using a workstation graphics card that allows for GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC.
    Selecting 'GPU Preview' instead of 'CPU Preview' under the 'View' toolbar in Illustrator CC results in a more choppy experience.
    Which leads me to wonder:
    Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?
    Does GPU acceleration for my gpu actually improve the performance for my work?

    If you disable the GPU acceleration in preferences then you'll be unable to enable GPU preview under the view menu. It will automatically go into CPU preview as the GPU is no longer enabled.
    If you're experiencing choppy performance when you do have the GPU preview selected, something is amiss because any GPU that can support GPU acceleration should be able to do it without a performance hit.
    What is the video card that's in the workstation?

  • Problem Disabling Beats Audio w/ Windows 10

    Hi - I have  problem with Beats Audio Control Panel after upgrade windows 8 .1 to windows 10. I updated the audio drivers which didn't solve the problem.
     Product Name: Hp Pavilion dv7-7051swProduct Number:  B6G49EA#AKD Driver Versions:IDT High Definition Audio CODEC - 6.10.6491.0
    Intel(R) Display Audio Driver   - 6.16.0.3154NVIDIA Virtual Audio Driver   - 1.2.30.0 I tried also reinstall this driver but it didn't help.
     It's propapbly the same issue as here:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Problem-Disabling-Beats-Audio-w-Windows-8-1/m-p/3208867#M43609  Thanks for any help.DMaster

    Hey, I had the same problem as you and solved it. Product Name: HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC
    Product Number: J0C48EA#AB9
    OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit While using Windows 8.1, what I did to disable the Beats Audio Control Panel was to update the driver to the generic High Definition Audio, as this guy shows:
    https://goo.gl/0XN7Nl When I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, the new OS started using the IDT driver, enabling the Beats Audio Control Panel.
    I've tried to do the same under Windows 10 but there was Generic Audio Driver a.k.a. High Definition Audio Driver available. This is what I did:
    1. Download, install the High Definition Audio Tool from Microsoft Hardware Dev Center, and restart your PC. This is the generic audio driver that was missing:
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/8/D/48D7ED36-832B-41D7-AE0A-04AD7D8CA837/HdauSetup_x64.msi
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/Dn613936(v=VS.85).aspx 2. Open Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers
     3. Righ Click Menu over IDT High Definition Audio CODEC and select Update Driver Software
     4. Choose Browse my computer for driver software
     5. Choose Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
     6. Choose High Definition Audio Device
     7. Select Yes in the Update Driver Warning 8. The High Definition Audio Codec is installed and the Beats Audio Control Panel disabled Now I can hear all my music again without the awful Beats Audio effects and volume variations that are a nag.
    Hope this helps you out. Thank you. hitek81

  • Photoshop problems: stopped working and/or GPU

    On Thursday, I was experiencing problems with Photoshop CS5 Extended (64-bit). When I went on it that day, my computer told me that it stopped working and close the program. I turned off the computer because for a while it worked, but on Friday, it said Photshop had temporarily disabled the GPU enhancements (noticable because when i stroked with my Wacom Intuos Manga tablet, the brush strokes come out pointy instead of round. There was no point of turning off the Enable OpenEG(?) drawing because it was already off. I updated my display driver but that didn't work. I tried other things, but certain things would just get the "Driver components mis-match. Exit is the only option.", and I'm forced to shut down because the program wouldn't close like I wanted it to. ven when there are times when i could get on, the brush strokes (pointy or not) would just look like I did it with a mouse, like when I use the second pair of brushes that makes the lines small or big depending on the pressure used. I've spend this weekend trying to fix this problem, but nothing works. I never had this problem earlier this month and I never had it before. I need help.
    I use Windows 7 and my display driver is NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430.

    Try resetting the brush tool:
    If that fails, try resetting the Photoshop preference file: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

  • Photoshop Crashes after GPU Upgrade

    I just recently upgraded my GPU from an nVidia GTX 460 to an AMD Radeon R9 290, and since then I've been experiencing problems with Photoshop.
    Just after I upgraded my GPU, I did a clean uninstall of my old drivers, installed my new drivers (which I also updated to the latest version [13.12] just today), and tried using Photoshop.
    At first, I was prompted with an error dialog saying that Photoshop could not detect my graphics card, so it has disabled OpenGL support.
    I ignored the error, and proceeded to editing an image, but after a few actions Photoshop crashed, prompting me with the 'Photoshop has stopped working' windows dialog.
    After restarting Photoshop, I went to Edit -> Preferences -> Performance and checked the GPU Settings box, which was now grayed out.
    When hovering over it, Photoshop displayed a notification saying that there is a problem with my Display Driver, and that I should re-install it.
    I re-installed my graphics driver, tried several different versions too, re-installed Photoshop, did a clean uninstall (with the help of the Adobe Clean tool) and re-install, but none of these actions helped.
    While I was in safe mode (for cleaning up my GPU drivers), I launched Photoshop and realized that even though it told me that there was an error with my drivers, it would work just fine, without crashing after executing a few actions.
    I also checked the Help -> System Info dialog for possibly obtaining additional information about the error, but the only relevant thing I can see is 'The GPU Sniffer crashed on XX/XX/XXXX at XX:XX:XX'.
    I find this weird, because when I manually run the sniffer, it simply exits after printing 'snifferStart="XXXX-XX-XX_XX:XX:XX"'.
    The last thing I tried doing was renaming sniffer.exe to something different.
    This resulted in Photoshop re-enabling the GPU Settings box (but obviously saying that there is no GPU detected), and getting rid of the weird crashes.
    However, it also resulted in various other glitches, like the main view not updating, the layer previews not properly working, etc.
    Finally, I should note that I tried using both Photoshop CS6 (which I initially had installed), and a trial version of Photoshop CC.
    My system specs are the following:
    OS: Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
    RAM: 16GB DDR3
    CPU: Intel i5 3570K
    GPU: AMD Radeon R9 290
    Secondary GPU (Onboard): Intel HD 4000 Series
    Currently Installed Photoshop Version: Photoshop CC 14.1.2 (x64)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    I noticed the same problem if I had my two R9 290s in Crossfire mode. If I turn off Crossfire, I get no error.
    HOWEVER, as I have just upgraded from 2 GTX580s, and I do a lot of professional digital painting, I noticed using my Wacom Intuos5 (I usew the Cintiq 24HD with GTX580 at work), there was heaps of lag in painting with a standard brush. If I just did a slow stroke, the 'paint' would be lagging behind the brush 5-10mm onscreen. I tried setting the 'Use Graphics Processor' down to Normal and Basic, and it got worse. I turned 'Use Graphics Processor' off completely and there is no real discernible lag, feels very natural as with the Nvidia cards. However, because this is turned off, I loose any GPU 'accelerated' advantages like animated zoom etc.

  • Uh Oh, Possible Problem with GPU-based Color Management

    NOTE:  The following could be an unwelcome side effect of installing the ATI 12.11 Beta 4 display driver, which I installed yesterday to try out with my Radeon HD 7850.
    Consider this PNG image file - nothing special, sRGB color space, some well-saturated greenish colors...
    It looks like this to me when opened into Photoshop CS6 with either Normal or Advanced GPU modes enabled:
    Note that the saturated green lamp is completely blacked out.
    It looks like this if the GPU Mode is set to Basic:
    The data is actually there, and when I sample the colors I find that the Red channel is clipped (zero). 
    That is a clue.  Sure enough, if I raise the black point of the red channel to 1 the problem is averted:
    As it's a pretty obvious glitch I hadn't noticed until just now, this likely started occurring when I installed the new ATI driver yesterday morning, but I'm not sure.  It may be some kind of overflow or underflow in the GPU color-management processing, which is moved to the CPU in Basic mode.
    I'm doing more investigation, including ultimately cleaning up and dropping back to the ATI Catalyst 12.8 release, but given this behavior I think I'd advise staying away from the Catalyst 12.11 Beta 4 driver for now.  Assuming this is a driver issue, 12.8 may still be the best in recent Catalyst releases.
    I'll follow-up in this thread as I learn more.

    Does anyone here monitor ( ) the ATI/AMD fori if this issue is widespread?
    The ATI/AMD forums are mostly populated with people wanting to play games. There are few mentions of Photoshop.
    Yes, I browse over there from time to time, where I am considered a "peon".  I've seen evidence that a few games show corruption of a type that might be similar to what's shown here, but since it's the GPU programming by Adobe that's going wrong, which we must assume is  some kind of edge case that's not behaving as expected, it's hard to say how it might manifest in other programming.
    Chances are good gamers shut their computers down when done playing, so the monitor power-down failure may not be seen by many, but again I have had confirmation from several folks that the failure is seen by others besides me.  By the way, to be very specific, the monitors DO power down at the prescribed time.  Then a little later they turn back on.
