What does this message mean? Is my Mac to old, slow, outdated? Or is there a setting somewhere to help me?

I am trying to make lighting effects to these luminaires, but Photoshop shows this message or the result is just a white background.

I have Photoshop version 21.1.2

I work on a MacBook Pro 15 inch, 2017 with MacOS Catalina 10.15.4

Processor: 2,9 HGz i7, 16 GB RAM, Graphic: Radeon Pro 560 4GB

The message is what it says.

Previews in 3D use the GPU processor and memory (VRAM). If you reach the limit in terms of GPU power or memory you will get the 'option' to continue with reduced preview quality and functions. It does not affect the final render as the ray tracing for final render, in Photoshop, is done with the CPU and system RAM.

You can alter the preview quality settings in Preferences - 3D.

Thanks. But that will make it allmost impossible for me to make the lighting effects. When I click OK after the error, the picture background i now white and the lighting effects in filters is now grey and unaccessable.
