    Anything with more video memory would be good but I highly doubt that this is the problem that causes the blank screens. It looks like you are using a version of Lightroom 6/2015?

    When I move photos from Lightroom CC to photoshop there's several times that they do not move over and I just get a blank white page and Photoshop. I would like to also upgrade my video monitor I'm not sure if that has an impact on the graphics card. Thank you so much for your input and help. Larry

    If I were you, I'd change the title of this thread to something like "Problem moving photos from LR to PS".

    You also want to state the EXACT VERSION NUMBER of your Lightroom. DO not state words like "current" or "up-to-date", we need the VERSION NUMBER.
