camera raw - the graphics processor has encountered an unrecoverable error

Hi, thanks for reporting this with the exact error wording. Adobe's Camera Raw GPU FAQ and troubleshooting doc covers this case — "GPU acceleration has been disabled" after a run-time error — and lists the following solutions to try in turn:

1. Update Photoshop and Camera Raw to the latest versions.

2. Update your graphics driver: on macOS, install the latest OS updates; on Windows, download the most recent driver directly from your GPU manufacturer's site (the doc notes that Windows Update does not update your graphics driver).

3. In Camera Raw Preferences > Performance, use the Custom setting and disable "Use GPU for Open and Save".

4. If the problem persists, use the Custom setting to disable "Use GPU for image processing".

5. If it still persists, use the Custom setting to disable "Use GPU for display".

6. Disable third-party graphics accelerators.

7. On macOS, disable "Automatic graphics switching" under the Energy Saver tab in System Preferences.

8. For Camera Raw 17.5 or later, also try Reset GPU Support: Camera Raw > Preferences > Performance > Reset GPU Support, then exit Preferences, close the host app, and quit and relaunch the app.

To narrow this down further, could you please share your operating system and version, your Camera Raw / Photoshop version, and your GPU make and model (shown in Camera Raw Preferences > Performance)?
