Issue: It says Radeon 5500M graphics is not turning on, (only UHD Graphics 630) while Photoshop 2024 version works fine with that.

 

MacBook Pro 2019 2,3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9

Photoshop version: 25.12.0

OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 (23G93)

Hi Mark! Thanks for reply. Yes, I know, just wanted to tell, before that it was an automatic process (and it still works automaticly with non-beta version). But after the latest beta-updates it does not work automaticly

Dynamic switching allows the operating system to make the choice for you. It presumes the correct choice is to choose the lower power GPU (less performance), especially when not plugged in, or with an external monitor.

 

If you want the best performance with Photoshop all the time, turn off dynamic switching, and stick with discrete only. Shorter battery life, faster Ps.
