Photoshop's Graphic Card Acceleration Couldn't Work w/ HD4850 on Windows 8!

Anyone who is planning on updating to Windows 8 must know photoshop's graphic card acceleration couldn't work w/ HD4850 (or any older AMD/ATi graphic cards) on Windows 8!

They clearly want you to buy a newer video card.
Though I don't propose to tell you how to spend your money, it is possible to get a pretty decent video card (e.g., Radeon HD 7750) for under a hundred bucks. And it will be faster than your current card.
These are the kinds of things that go wrong when one updates their OS. Mac users had their day with Mountain Lion, now we'll be hearing from a lot of Windows users I suspect.
Best of luck reaching a solution, Aero.

Adobe photoshop cs4 graphics card acceleration help!

Need a little help,
everytime i start cs4, it says "adobe photoshop cs4 now includes graphics card acceleration. we recomend you vist your video card manufacturers website and download and install latest drives.
I am running vista 64 bit and a ati radeon hd 4800 series card "4870 to be exact" and under properties it is 8.612.0.0, but when i follow the adobe link and it brings me to the site it has version 9.5?? i clicked update driver and it says its upto date, is this a problem, and why does it show this everytime photoshop starts?
thanks

Go to this site and download the 9.9 driver set. The 9.5 driver set had a streaming problem that had to be fixed with a hotfix. I have the 4870 also and the 9.9 drivers are stable and have no issues with PS CS4 on vista 64 bit.

Sometimes it is better not to change drivers if you don't have issues. But the 9.5 set has issues.
Make sure you un-install the old drivers. When you click on the Icon and start the install it will unpack as normal but you will come upon a screen to install or uninstall. Choose uninstall to remove the old driver package. Reboot. Then click on the icon again, it will unpack and you will get the screen again so choose install. Reboot after install.
If I remember correctly the 9.5 drivers, after install, did not show the reboot screen. You still have to reboot.

...Photoshop CS4 now includes graphic card acceleration..

Every time I open my Photoshop CS4 I get the following pop-up:
When I load an image file I get this pop-up and my Photoshop closes:
I am running Vista and have had CS4 since it first came out, and never encountered any problems.I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7100 that is up to date, and GPU acceleration is enabled in my Photoshop.
If anybody can suggest what might be going on and how I could fix that, I would greatly appreciate it!

I'd start by resetting the photoshop cs4 preferences:
Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after starting the launch of photoshop cs4.
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to Delete the adobe photoshop settings file.
Press Yes because you do.
In that dialog about graphics card acceleration, you can check Don't Show Again
If resetting the preferences doesn't solve the issue, try turning off Enable Open GL Drawing and restarting photoshop cs4
If that works, then most likely something has gone awry with your graphics card driver.
(you might have to reinstall the graphics card driver)
Double check the Nvidia website to be sure you have the latest graphics card driver updates

Photoshop graphics card acceleration

Hi,
I have been using my adobe photoshop for a while without issue. Now all of a sudden when starting up I get a message saying "Adobe photoshop now includes graphic card acceleration" and that I should download the latest drivers. I have the latest drivers for my card for a while and have changed any settings in Photoshop. Does anyone else know why this is happening? I have attached the picture of the message.
Thanks.
Andy

you probably just enabled gl acceleration capablities for the first time and/or after updating your driver. It happened to me and im pretty sure its just a warning thats means nothing until you actually have a new driver to update, so just tick and it will go away.
peace
ps this site is slower than cs4 go figure

Will LR5 benefit of graphic cards acceleration with the new MacPro ?

Will LR5 benefit of graphic cards acceleration with the new MacPro ?

Well, although LR5 is a great improvement of speed, the dev. team should try to work on MF files such as from the Pentax 645D… any speed improvement would be much appreciated, especially with dust removal and masking tools.
My actual configuration is not so bad, but I can't see how to get more speed from it :
MacPro 2 x 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
RAM 18 Gb 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM (2x1 + 2x2 + 2x3 + 2x4)

Installed Photoshop Elements. Card Reader still not working.

Installed Photoshop Elements. Card Reader still not Working.

And what does any of that have to do with Adobe software? You better check your hardware setup and install the proper driver for whatever card reader you use...

Photoshop cs4 Graphic Card Requirements!!

Hello Guyz!! I wanted to learn Photoshop CS4 on my Dell Precision 670 Intel Xeon 2.8 Ghz × 2.8 Ghz With 2Gb of Ram and Graphic Card Radeon X300/X550/X1050 Series of 128 MB n I am using Windows 7 Ultimate!! Now, I can't "Enable OpenGL Drawing" in Photoshop and I guess I will have to change my graphic card to help the cause!! Please Suggest a Graphic Card that should work well throughout my Photoshop Learning Process!! Thanks

LOL, there are 1000's of documents explaining it. You are way over thinking it.
32 bit OS can only handle 4 gigs worth of memory addresses. period. That's not saying all video ram is in use all the time, but that all video ram it is available at all times. In order for it to be available it needs to have an address so the OS can send data to it. That memory addressing is reserved at boot as a hardware requirement. In order to reserve the memory locations for hardware memory it has to use part of its 4 gig limited addressing and specify it as hardware. once its out of addresses... no more memory can BE addresed, its just that simple.
If windows reserves 1 gig of address space for hard ware, it can not address more then 3 gigs of RAM. It is that simple.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929605/en-us
"If a computer has 4 gigabytes (GB) of random-access memory (RAM) installed, the system memory that is reported in the System Information dialog box in Windows Vista is less than you expect. "
Answer:
"This behavior is the expected result of certain hardware and software factors.
Various devices in a typical computer require memory-mapped access. This is known as memory-mapped I/O (MMIO). For the MMIO space to be available to 32-bit operating systems, the MMIO space must reside within the first 4 GB of address space.
For example, if you have a video card that has 256 MB of onboard memory, that memory must be mapped within the first 4 GB of address space. If 4 GB of system memory is already installed, part of that address space must be reserved by the graphics memory mapping. Graphics memory mapping overwrites a part of the system memory. These conditions reduce the total amount of system memory that is available to the operating system.
The reduction in available system memory depends on the devices that are installed in the computer. However, to avoid potential driver compatibility issues, the 32-bit versions of Windows Vista limit the total available memory to 3.12 GB. See the "More information" section for information about potential driver compatibility issues.
If a computer has many installed devices, the available memory may be reduced to 3 GB or less. However, the maximum memory available in 32-bit versions of Windows Vista is typically 3.12 GB."

Photoshop CC - Graphic cards for smooth performance?

I am running PSCC on my main desktop computer. I find that it lags significantly enough to impair my workflow especially when using brushes (default ones).
I have also tested PSCC on a Win 8 gaming laptop and it runs smoothly there.
I am currently using an Nvidia GFX 465. The rest of the system, in brief, is a Win 7 Pro 64 bit system with 12G ram, with 75% dedicated to PS. I have tried setting the memory prefs to 'Tall and Thin' and 'Big and Flat'; the larger cache tile size seems to help a little, although it was working better with 'Tall and Thin' in CS6. Open GL is enabled; Open CL is enabled, draw mode set to Basic (Advanced slows things).
i am interested in hearing what graphic cards folks who claim they have no performance issues in PS CC are using. I am wondering if upgrading my main computer's graphic card will help, and perhaps there is a clue if I knew what cards were working fine with the program.

You may well find that a newer video card will be helpful. However, it may not solve everything for you...
Painting with large brushes also relies heavily on CPU speed, and thus your system's responsiveness will be somewhat dependent on how fast your CPU's individual core speed is.
Does the "gaming laptop" have much newer / faster CPU technology than your desktop system? CPUs have been getting much faster in the past few years, even though clock speeds haven't been changing much (basically new the new CPUs do more per clock cycle).
To run Photoshop best, especially when painting with large brushes (e.g., hundreds to thousands of pixels in size), you really need both modern CPU technology and a good graphics card (as well as very good disk speed).
Personally, for the past few years I've been more fond of ATI cards than nVidia, and I presently have a moderately powerful Visiontek ATI Radeon HD 7850 card, which (with ATI's latest driver release) works very well with Photoshop CC.

Everytime I start up Photoshop, my graphic card Crashes!

So when I start up Photoshop it starts loading the items and stuff but than I believe it gets to the 3D Stuff or Something when my Graphic Card Crashes. My Graphics Card is an AMD Radeon HD 6410D I've tried to update it but no Updates found for it(It's up to date) So can it not handle this? (The Error message it gives me is The Graphics card has stopped but recovered) Or something like that.

I went to the site, downloaded the installer, Installed it, checked to see if it still crashes and it does. Oh well... I guess I'll just live with it. Do you know anyway to FULLY Disable 3D Graphics because I believe that's what's causing the crashing.

Need an upgrade! any ideas what graphics card can fit and work good in my computer?

I am upgrading my HP Pavilion dv6 notebook and I have a Intel Family HD graphics card and I would like to upgrade it.
I want a gaming graphics card that can fit into my computer and not go over the price of $250.
Please help me!

Hi,
Unfortunately, your existing graphics chip is integrated into the Motherboard and as such is not an upgradeable component - neither is there a suitable slot to be able to connect a discrete card.

Install a new graphic card. Will it work with my computer.

I have a pavilion a1100y. I want to upgrade the graphic card. I purchased a nvidia GeForce 6200 PCI.
When I installed it the computer starts like normal but I can see any open windows on the desk top.
Am I doing something wrong?
Can you help me?

Well, normally the onboard graphics need to be disabled for the new card to work properly and that needs to be done in the BIOS. I would suggest that to see if it makes things work right.

High CPU usage when graphics card is put at work

I have a 13inch Air with 2GB RAM and 256GB with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. All possible updates have been installed.
I noticed some tearing when trying to move program windows across the screen so I started checking the CPU usage. I saw that it is spiking to 25-35% when moving a window across the screen.When you drag down a window you can see the different copies of the top bar across the screen. Not smooth at all like on a standard PC windows system. Same issue when scrolling through webpages which spikes the cpu
I also noticed a high cpu usage when playing mkv files 25-30% while on an Atom HTPC i get a lower load playing the same file. The Air should be faster than an atom with a nvidia 9400m when playing video files.
I already tried updating the nvidia files to the latest version on their site by hacking the driver inf but this did not resolve the issue.
Has anyone experienced the same or know what could be causing the beavior?
Many thanks

Maybe my initial post was not clear so let me add some clarifications.
I have the problem with Aero disabled
I have the problem on the Apple site which does not have any flash content.
I have already hacked the lastest nvidia drivers to get them on my system which did not change anything. Can you provide a link to some other 'supported' beta drivers?
I am using the new 13 inch air so it has the newer graphics card so I would expect it to be faster than an old HTPC with a 9400m in it. I wasn't stating that my Air had a 9400m.
It would be great if someone you also do the test to check the cpu load:
- when playing a 720 mkv
- when dragging a window across the screen
Just open task manager and see if the CPU spikes.
Many thanks!

Graphical Card driver crush on HP Pavillon dv7-4175eb Windows 8.1 64bit

Dear support, users
I've recently formated my laptop and installed Windows 8.1 64bit on my dv7-4175eb. I have a problem with the graphical

the advanced boot options screen) unless I use the refresh your pc or reset your pc options . I have an AMD Mobility
Radeon HD 5000 Series and I tried to install the driver in this link (http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064)
Please Help.
Thanks

Hello,
I'm afraid it's not working, I tried to install it but unfortunatly the installer shows a package failure.
I tried almost every driver provided by amd support page but none of them is working.
please can you provide me with the correct driver for my machine.
Thanks
