Recommendations for an AMD Graphic Card

My computer has a 570 AORUS MASTER motherboard with an AMD Ryen 7 5800X 8 core processor. It currently has an MIS AMD RX 580 Graphic Processor. Currently I’m still using Windows 10.

I’m having a problem with the GPU crashing when I use lightroom’s Denoise. I’ve tried uninstalling the card and software and reinstalling it again. It will come up and work until it was taxed by Denoise again.

I’ve been looking for another AMD Graphic card. I am not a gamer and I do not process any videos.

I would like to get a card that I can use with the latest versions of Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz. Currently. I’m also concerned about getting a card that will not only handle the processing that I do today but will still handle the AI growth of tomorrow.

I have just started my search. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I’ve been looking at the ASRock Radeon RX 6700 XT 12G. Does anyone have an opinion about the 6700? How about ASRock? Their card is somewhat less expensive than the MIS but is more aligned with what I can afford.

I am also facing this issue. After turning off GPU acceleration in Lightroom, it works without issues. My question is " If we are working without GPU support Why spend around 600$ for AMD GPU?" Isn't this an unnecessary waste of money and Power? Why don't AMD find the solution for this issue?

Just FYI, I have the same card (an AMD RX 580) in my machine, and it's rock solid. Not the fastest card in the world, but it handles AI Denoise flawlessly.

Thank you, that is good to know. I purchased this card off of Facebook
Marketplace used back when they were so hard to find. It has had
intermittent problems before. It is just that the issue has finally has
become more consistent.

I feel for you. That was a very frustrating problem. I ended up purchasing another graphic card. I got a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. I've also updated my OS to Windows 11 home. So far, it has run smoothly and has been faster than I really need. I've been very happy with it and have had no issues.

Thank you! I scoured the web for more information. Just about everything I
read pointed to using an Nvidia GPU for Adobe applications, so I ordered an
Asus RTX 4060. Your success in this at least validates my purchase, since
our systems were so similar. I'll know for sure once I can install it. I've
been running Windows 11 since I built my system. I keep it and everything
else up-to-date.

I think the general consensus nowadays is that the Nvidia RTX series is better optimized for Adobe applications, and probably more sturdy and reliable.

But I would wait a little. At the moment, Photoshop has what appears to be a bug in v25.1, that causes GPU recognition to fail. These problems started all of a sudden about two weeks ago. The bug status is "investigating", and no firm answers yet.

Prior to this bug, the Nvidia RTX 30- and 40- series have been extremely stable and problem free, and RTX 3060 - 4060 perform very well in both Photoshop/ACR and Lightroom Classic.

You can watch this thread in Photoshop:

My own two RTX's, 3060 in one machine and 4060 Ti in another, are still rock solid. Most people don't have any issues, but just as a heads up.

Thank you for responding. I've seen recommendations for the Nvidia, but I
was concerned about compatibility issues with an AMD processor. Should I
be?
