Question

incompatible GPU

I have updated to the latest version of PS and now get a message everytime I open PS saying my GPU is incompatible. As everything functioned perfectly well with the previous version of PS, is there a way on CC to revert to the older previous version  of PS?

    @Stewart16B8 what GPU do you currently have, you can only go back to versions 25.xx, 24.xx and version 22.2 from the Creative Cloud app

    My GPU is a Radeon Pro Vega 56 8, in a 2017 27" iMac Pro. So only about 6 years old. I do expect to get close to 10 years usage out of my hardware. So not happy if I need to update.

    That's probably more down to Apple than anyone else. The drivers for the GPU are Apple drivers.

     

    I'd downgrade to v24, which is easy to do in the CC app. Just uninstall and go to "older versions" to reinstall.

     

    A 10-year horizon was reasonable before, but it seems development everywhere is accelerating - and backwards compatibility no longer in fashion. Nowadays 5 years is more realistic.
