Question

Lightroom 8.4.1 is not recognising the NVIDIA Geforce 1050 Ti with Max Q

Hi,

 

On my Dell XPS 9570 with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q Design, Lightroom 8.4.1 only recognises the Intel UHD Graphics 630 and cannot see the NVIDIA GeForce card.

 

Brush editing is painfully slow and delayed.

 

Help please

    I wonder if something is set wrong in your NVIDIA  Control Panel?

     

    to access the control, see:

    As you have Lightroom v8.4.1, I assume you have Photoshop.

     

    How is your GPU treated in Photoshop?

     

    Go and bring up the System Information as reported by Photoshop, and share that.

     

    Now a few notes with issues in these spanking new community pages, just so wonderful. not.

     

    You will probably get a very disappointing one line edit window when you reply to a reply. Just start your reply, post it, then turn right around and edit it, Shabam a better edit window. Now why could it not looked like that to start? All hail Adobe, not

     

    Also, us old grumpy types like things the way they were, one not being attachments. Just paste in that system information (/Help/System Information/Copy/  and then during the reply, point, right click, paste). Incidentally a nice “Insert/Edit code sample” button, third from right looks like </> will give you a clean box to put that system info in, neat and orderly.

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    So here's what I've done.  I've reverted to V 8.31 and then to 8.3 and then back to 8.4.1 and now it works... just weird

    Consider solution 4 in:

    But, this is not normal. Get the latest GPU driver, and even if the same as already installed, accomplish a clean install.

    Sadly tried that without any luck. If the Intel graphics is disabled in the Device Manager, then the GeForce appears. Very strange behaviour

    Hi there,

     

    Would you mind updating the drivers for the NVIDIA card through there website and then restart the computer to check if that helps with Lightroom detecting the graphics card? 

     

    You can check for driver updates for the card at the link below.

    Unfortunately, I've already done that, without any luck
