Lightroom classic Problem with gpu turned on

Hello, i have a problem with Lightroom classic (latest version) and the gpu use. 

 

I installed Lightroom on a brand new HP Omen 16 Laptop (Win11 home, Ryzen 7 5800H, Radeon Rx 6600m, 16GB). With gpu enabled, lightroom crashes/lags in develop mode. The screen freezes except the loading circle. With gpu diasbled lightroom works fine, but sometimes i get a black screen (for about a second) on my external monitor (connected via hdmi, only when i run lightroom). 

 

I followed the instructions from the gpu troubleshooting, nothing worked. As i mentioned, the laptop is brand new. I only installed Lightroom and Photoshop so far. Windows and the gpu driver got the latest Updates.

 

What else can i do to solve this problem? I want to use my gpu in lightroom.

Hello,

HP was not able to fix the issue. In the HP forum are some threads about
issues with the amd gpu. I returned the Laptop and switched to an device
with an nVidia gpu. Now everything works fine.

Hi, have you found the solution? It seems that I have exactly the same issue on the same laptop 😕😕

I can also recommend turning this report into a bug report. Adobe might actually read it and contact you for more testing. They don't generally read other posts.

You may need to contact Adobe, either via chat, leading to a phone call, or if you have it already, a direct phone call.

Thank you for all your replies so far. Yesterday i had some issues with the community homepage (clicked on reply and nothing happened...)

 

I deleted and updated the gpu driver to the latest version ( 22.5.2 Optional), lightroom crashed a few seconds after enabling gpu (had the gpu processs loading circle for about 30 seconds, then lightroom shut down).  

 

The exact Laptop model is Omen 16-c0760ng. Windows 11 Home ist installed (from the beginning, i did no upgrade from windows 10),  verified by windows system information. 

 

I am planning to get a 4k display soon, but regardless of that, gpu usuage should work properly. I already did a bug report to AMD but got no response so far. Today i want to contact the hp support.

So, specs on the laptop at:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c08017368

 

from which, some info:

 

  • Microprocessor: AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800H (up to 4.4 GHz max boost clock, 16 MB L3 cache, 8 cores, 16 threads)
  • Memory standard: 16 GB DDR4-3200 MHz RAM (2 x 8 GB)
  • Video graphics: AMD Radeon™ RX 6600M Graphics (8 GB GDDR6 dedicated)
  • Integrated Video Controller: not stated (unless I overlooked)

 

so a nice rig that should behave.

 

In the OS, right click on the Start icon, bottom left, select run, type in control, click on that, select Device Manager. In Display Adapters, is just the GPU listed? Or is a integrated video control, likely Intel, also listed? Any error notifications?

 

Also, bring up the HP support page for your laptop and look for drivers updates, look for any for the chipset, etc.

The Ryzen cpu has integrated radeon graphics. Both are listed in the device manager and are working properly. I just tried to deactivate the internal gpu, but the problem is still there. I also made an extended video/graphic-systemcheck with the preinstalled hp hardware diagnostic, no errors at all. I have no clue how to solve this ...

Two curiosity's.

.

1. Your sys info from LrC states Windows 10, not 11, can you verify via Windows 10 (11?) system information (in this case, not the info in LrC, despite that being asked for previously)

 

2. Your exact model of laptop, might be an U.S.A. market availability, but your info does not match what I see on the web. Trying to see tech specs, trying to verify GPU is descreate, and see what sort of integrated video exists.

Wow. Looked up this laptop on the HP website and shockingly this indeed only has 1920x1080. Surprised you can still find those and really too low for good Lightroom Classic usage but yeah indeed if you have that low resolution you don't gain much in using the GPU acceleration. It should still work though.

As you are not running at 4K or beyond, selecting to use graphics processor will not provide performance improvements. Some confusion if that option is required for AI Sky or Subject.

 

 

Informationen zum Grafikprozessor:
DirectX: AMD Radeon RX 6600M (30.0.15021.11005)

 

 

Not an AMD user, the AMD version syntax confuses me, LrC reports the Windows Driver Store version, AMD website reports a version. At AMD it appears latest full release (not Beta) is  Adrenalin Edition 22.5.1 Driver Version 21.50.21.11 for Windows 10 and Windows and that is known ad Windows Driver Store Version 30.0.15021.11005). So yours may be actually the latest.

 

AMD Radeon RX 6600M 

 

 So, a GPU released back in October 2021, so not so old, should behave in LrC. And, does that have something like 8GB of GDDR memory? Should behave very well.

On windows quite often the system update feature does not actually install the latest drivers. You might want to just check the manufacturer's website and install from there: https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-6000m-series/amd-radeon-rx-6000m-series/amd-radeon-rx-6600m

There is a windows 11 update from this month!

If turning OFF GPU works, it's a GPU bug and you need to contact the manufacturer or find out if there's an updated driver for it. On the Mac, that's part of the OS update(s) so if this is the latest OS version, you may need to roll back a release.
