Question

camera raw masking issue

Hi all, I posted this in the Photoshop forum but it was suggested i post it here.

Hoping I can get some help/advice here. I’m running the latest photoshop /camera Raw on my windows 10 PC. My GPU is Nvidia geforce 1660super, 32 GB ram. If I open a raw file from bridge into camera raw I’m getting errors when using the sliders in the masking section. The errors are “runtime” or GPU has encountered a problem and will be turned off for the remainder of the session (or words to that effect). So, i thought my GPU was not powerful enough. However...I installed Lightroom Classic and I have no issues with the AI masking. As Lightroom and camera raw have the same engine (I believe) how come I’m not getting the errors that I’m getting in Camera raw? Chat GPT states Lightroom handles GPU more effectively...but this makes no sense to me. Thanks in advance.

    The spec for that GPU states 6GB VRAM not 32GB.  8 GB of VRAM is recommended by Adobe for AI features. Could this be the issue?

    Thank you for the reply. The 32GB was my PC’s ram, not the GPU. Yes, I guess that could be the issue...but why am I not getting the issues when using Lightroom as opposed to camera raw?
