Unable to activate GPU for imaging processing with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780Ti ?

Hello all !

I recently get a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780Ti Graphic Card but I noticed I could not activate the GPU or image processing in CameraRaw (or LR). This is unfortunate, especially for high-GPU consuming processes, as the brand new "Denoise". Below the graphic card name I can read "Limited graphics acceleraion is enabled". I have updated the NVIDIA drivers and check everywhere but nothing works.

Does somebody have a 780Ti running well on Phtoshop and Ligthroom ? Any advice ?

I was thinking buying a new GPU (3060 for instance) but I would like to bu sure it will works. Is there a list of accepted graphic cards for Photoshop somewhere (as for Premiere: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/using/gpu-acceleration.html) ?

Photoshop says GPU compatibility is OK:

Thanks for you help !

Yes, 780 is too old.

+1 for the RTX 3060. Works splendidly here. This is a moderately priced mid-range card, but has plenty power for Denoise in ACR/Lightroom (and anything else you can throw at it in Photoshop). Rock solid.

I'd be curious to know if the higher numbers (3070-3080-3090) perform better with Denoise. They probably do, but so far I haven't seen any timings from these cards. But in the context of these applications, I'm not sure it's worth the extra cost. The sweet spot is often a good place to be 😉
