Question

compatible GPU and Monitor not detected

I am having a problem with resolution of letterforms on screen.

I have a MacPro (mid 2010) with ATI Radeon HD5770 (1024MB) graphics card, OpenGL checked, and a Dell U2410 (1920x1200).

So this should meet the min specs, but in Id Prefs - GPU performance, it says 'compatible GPU and Monitor not detected'

Would be grateful for any help...

    AFAIK, you need a 4K montor.

    That said, you’ve given us absolutely nothing else to go on.

    What version of ID, What operating system and what exactly is the problem? A screen shot might help.

    Hi Bob, thanks for responding.

    I am using InDesign CC2019. Mac High Sierra 10.13.6.

    Many thanks

    The screenshot we need is for the issues you’re seeing, not for the GPU requirements which you do not meet with an HD monitor.


    Next time, may I advise you to go ahead and read the actual published and current Adobe specifications – in addition to the spirit of the OP's question – before hucking up vague, condescending blandishments disguised as advice?

    I'll type slowly so that you'll be able to understand:

    • "Hawkeye" has met the GPU requirements.

    • "Hawkeye's" monitor fits within resolution parameters.

    • Rob, if you took the time to investigate, you'd discover the GPU acceleration bug amid acceptable hardware parameters is kind of a "thing" in these ID fora dating back many versions.

    So, please, save the snark for your immediate fam, Levi. We are all professionals here who detect passive aggression when it rears it's, um, head!
