Hello, after recently upgrading to Photoshop 2022 (23.0.0), upon launching I'm getting the following message:

 

Your graphics processor is incompatible

  • Insufficient VRAM: (1073 MB of 1500 MB required)
  • OpenGL available
  • OpenCL available
  • Metal available

GPU Detected: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M (NVIDIA)

 

My question is, How will this affect the performance of Photoshop on my iMac?

      I've uninstalled PS 2022 and reverted back to PS 2021. No more issues. Turn off automatic updates!

      You can do this from your CC account - there's a list of all your installed apps and you can select other versions from the drop-down on the right 🙂 Hope this helps...

            Simple. Newer versions of Premiere Pro require far more VRAM than older versions just to even enable GPU acceleration at all. Your updated version now requires 1.5 GB of free, unused VRAM just for GPU acceleration to be enabled at all. Your GPU simply does not have enough VRAM to even use acceleration at all. And there is absolutely no way whatsoever around that.

             

            In other words, you're stuck permanently with software-only rendering.

            @ RjL190365 this thread is about Photoshop not Premiere Pro.

             

            If the GPU does not meet the specs then some functionality will not work. More and more core functions are being moved onto the GPU going forward. Old openGL/CL functions are being rewritten to use DirectX and Metal, driven by the deprecation of the older GPU functions in new operating systems.
