Hello everyone,
I have purchased the current MacBook Pro 16", with the Radeon 5500m 8GB.
Unfortunately the field to activate the graphics card for image processing is greyed out. In my case the graphics card is only used for display. The Radeon 5500m is activated as soon as I use Lightroom, but unfortunately not for image processing.
Is this a normal behaviour, does Adobe have no drivers integrated or is this a strange behaviour of my computer - software combination?
Thanks
Simon
Thanks for all the help, I have now found a solution which did not work the first time:
1. restarting the computer
2. uninstall Lightroom via Creatic Cloud App
3. restarted
4. deleted all Lightroom files from the Library and Application Support
5. restarted
6. lightroom installed
7. lightroom started with Shift+Alt key

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Past that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs.

Thank you for your asnwe. I don´t have any graphic issues or broken pictures. I just want to get the max performance and don´t understand why on a top line laptop, Lightroom is not using the grafic card for full performance. MacOS and Lightroom are updatet

Are you finding this was a permanent solution? Several months ago I followed the process you outlined and got it working. But now it is back to only using the GPU for basic processing.
This time I tried everything short of deleting the preferences because it is a major hassle to have to recreate those. That didn't fix it.

If resetting preferences fixes the issue, then that is the route you should go. Sure it's a PITA, but better that than denying yourself full GPU support. You could also submit a report on the Lightroom Classic feedback forum where it's more likley to catch the attention of Adobe QA https://feedback.photoshop.com/topics/lightroom-classic/5f5f2093785c1f1e6cc40872

That means the the GPU test that runs when LrC is launched is probably failing for some reason. I can't recall the exact details of what can causes the failure, but you can find the file(s) to delete at:
Users > ~ > Library > Application Support > Adobe > CameraRaw > GPU > Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic > 'Camera Raw GPU Config Text' and 'TempDisableGPU'. There may be a number at end of the TempDisableGPU file, but it can be ignored as it's the any file with that name that needs to be removed.

Deleting that file fixed it! Thank you!

Please add the name of the file you deleted here and on the new thread you started on the Feedback forum as it will help others fix the problem, even if only temporarily, in future.
BTW, thanks for getting back to the forum

Yea, for me it works fine since then. Hope you will find a solution for your system!
