P: Permanent "GPU required" warning too frequent

Hi.

When I run ACR 15.3 from Bridge it shows me following message:

"Graphics processor acceleration is currently disabled. Please be aware that Camera Raw will soon require GPU support to edit photos. You can manage GPU settings in the Performance section of the Preferences dialog."

This is not an issue because my GPU is indeed below system requirements - it's fine for me.

I just click ok, message closes and I can work - can close ACR and open once again without this message, can even restart Bridge and open ACR without this message.

But the next day first time I open ACR I get the exact same message once again.

And this happens every day first time I open ACR.

My GPU is unsupported, you showed me the warning - ok, I get it.

But what's the point in showing it every day?

This is super annoying to say the least.

Can this be be disabled?

    Well, I'd say it's a pretty dramatic message considering you won't be able to use ACR at all in perhaps a matter of months. Can you imagine the flood of "why didn't you warn us" if that message only appeared once and dismissed?

     

    My guess is that they debated this and decided, in light of the potential fallout, to put up the message on every launch.

      Now look at this from the other side.

      At the moment ACR works just fine without GPU acceleration, at least for RAW files I'm processing.

      If the next version (ACR 16 or whatever) will require GPU to edit images - I will not going to upgrade GPU, I will stay on the latest ACR version that works (ACR 15.x).

      I will see this warning EVERY DAY when I use it, even when changes stated in the warning will already happen.

      A lot of messages in ACR and LrC can be closed or dismissed completely (with don't show again checkbox), but not this one.

      And this is annoying.

      A lot, not all. Full stop, end of story.

      File a feature request; we can then sit back and see how far it gets you in the current version of Adobe Camera Raw/LR.

      You state:  my GPU is indeed below system requirements.

      That's a problem! One that, as the product continues to evolve, will eventually stop you from using it at all. 

      Thats the point. 

      Review your system's specs and compare them to the minimum requirements document:

      Your answer is as pointless as showing that warning every day.

      I understand what it says, there is no need to "explain" by just repeating it once again with your own words.

      And it's more than enough to show it once, but definitely not every day I run ACR.

        I'm sorry the facts have ruined your day. If you don't like the message, upgrade your old, underpowered GPU. 

        Until then, no, the message isn't going away. For good reason! 

        Now you know how to make it go away.
