I do not understand.

 

Windows 11 says directX12 is installed.

I have the latest graphics drivers for my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (NVIDIA)

 

Warning: Driver update recommended Warning:
Driver is out of date (15 months, should be less than 6 months)
Fail: DirectX feature level 11.0 available, feature level 12.0 required
Pass: DirectX available Pass:
Above required VRAM (2007 MB of 1500 MB required) GPU Detected: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (NVIDIA)What can I do?

@mikes40067761 the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 only has a feature level of 11.0, Photoshop requires a GPU with a feature level of 12.0 and above

The only thing you can do is upgrade your GPU

You can confirm the feature level by typing dxdiag in the Windows start menu, click on the display tab in the dialog that opens up

Bit anoying, I can't keepup with these seemingly daily requirements. I'll go back to Photoshop 2024.
