P: Not detecting older GPU's

I have a AMD HD8490 GPU and installed Photoshop version 21.2 and the GPU is not been detected, I'm not alone as I've come across other people with the same issue on the Photoshop community forum.
Reverting back to 21.1.3 fixes the issue
Why does Adobe release updates to fix bugs and then break something else with the same update.

Unless you personally work for Adobe AND are a manager level employee, there is no way that you could have any inkling about what Adobe "Wants"

Small minds do not offer constructive thought nor comment; often on the web, those people hide in the bushes and snipe.

It is still not working for me too. I am running this inside VMware.  The 3rd previous release and before that, all works.  Is Adobe going to fit it?

nVidia GeForce 600 series is listed as still supported. My GeForce 650 is a sub-model of the GeForce 600 series - as far as i know. So I thought it should still be supported.

I bought a Quadro 4000 and its running fine. Windows installed the latest drivers and openGl Extensions viewer reports everything is fine. Photoshop 21.2.1 does not recognize it. What's going on?

My card is still listed as supported but Photoshop isn't seeing it.
