I have the same problem. Were you able to resolve the issue?

Hello, with each subsequent update, Photoshop uses the GPU more and more and the minimum requirements for the GPU are increasing accordingly.

I would also recommend to check if the display driver has an update available.

PECourtejoie, I know you are trying to be helpful, but a software update cannot change the amount of physical VRAM available to the graphics card.

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.
