Question

Acrobat DC and Nvidia Optimus

Does Acrobat do Graphics Acceleration?

I have a dell precision 7710 laptop.  It has a Quadro M5000M. 

In NVidia Control Panel I have adobe Acrobat DC to use the Quadro card, but on the task bar, the Quadro Activity icon does not show acrobat using the Quadro.

If I run Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop shows it is using the Quadro, but Acrobat does not use the Quadro instead the integrated GPU.

Nvidia Says this is an issue with Acrobat.  Is there a setting in Acrobat to use the dedicated GPU?

I have some large drawing pdf files that take some time to render on the screen.

thanks,

Mike

    My Nvidia settings (GTX950M) are all 3D but in manage 3D settings I can choose to have the Nvidia preferred globally and/or specifically to any program. Might be something comparable for your driver.

      Adobe STAFF Rave's response is completely wrong and not appropriate. 

      Adobe Acrobat DC REMOVES THE CHECKBOX AUTOMATICALLY, DOES NOT ANNOUNCE THE REMOVAL, AND DOES NOT GIVE USER ANY OPTION TO MAKE IT CHECK FOR A GPU.  This is all Adobe's software problem.

      Acrobat DC even changes the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel to Integrated Graphics, all by itself!  This is completely unacceptable and invasive. 

      This questions is not answered, and the answers given by STAFF were wrong.  I have ticket with Adobe for this.  Will post if they ever resolve it.  Don't hold your breath.

      Hi rinconmike,

      Would like to inform you that Acrobat Pro is only for Editing , it does not play any role in Graphics Acceleration .
