Fulfilling System requirements?

[Silvia NP]

My computer: Windows 10, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz, 8gb RAM and more than 30gb free space

I have read that the minimum requirements for CPU are "Multicore Intel® or AMD processor (2 GHz or faster processor with SSE 4.2 or later) with 64-bit support" but I don't understand about CPU and I don't know if I have enough or if it is better to update it, please help me

Hi @Silvia NP recommended HD scratch disk space is 50 GB. I'd take that much further and say 100 GB to give you plenty of room. Can you go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste details in a reply? Post only once as the system takes time to process the large amount of data.

That will help determine your setup. I'd be more concerned with your GPU than your CPU questions as that can impact you more than anything. More RAM is also never a bad idea 8 GB is the minimum.

Thank you for your answer! for do this "go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info" i need to install Photoshop? cause i don't want to install anything just in case i need to update my computer.

If you currently do not have Photoshop installed - what do you have for Graphics cards and VRAM?

[Silvia NP]

what is my graphic card?

[kevin stohlmeyer]

Your GPU card. @Silvia NP if you're unfamiliar with what a graphics card is, you may want to read up and familiarize yourself with your computer and its components, lest you be at a loss with any issues using Photoshop in the future. There is a base level of understanding on how to run updates, and upgrades to your graphics card drivers, etc. to maintain a good foundation for Photoshop to run smoothly.

I did not understand your question "what do you have for Graphics cards and VRAM?" my English is no that good, but thanks anyway

Si quieres ver tu tarjeta gráfica descárgate este software gratis

Y podrás ver esta pantalla con todos los detalles de la GPU

[Silvia NP]

gracias por responder en español, conozco mi tarjeta gráfica pero no entendia si me estaba preguntando por ella u otra cosa

Tengo una quadro k600 que me costó 20 euros

Tuve un problema de incompatibilidad con mi tarjeta que me llevó a tener que cambiarla y aumentar la fuente de potencia del pc.

[Silvia NP]

gracias, me temo que tendré que hacer lo mismo

Este enlace lo proporciona Adobe en la nota de la que te mandé una captura de pantalla de las GPU.  Un montón de tarjetas o CPU. Uno de los problemas que tendrás es elegir una, porque son caras, nada que ver con los 20 euros...

A mi me llevó tiempo y lo publiqué en esta comunidad. Iba a comprar una 2060 RTX y un experto me recomendó ir a la serie 3000 por razones de envejecimiento tecnológico rápido. Elegí finalmente la RTX 3060. Y menos mal porque esta se colapsa cuando he acumulado en Camera Raw muchos puntos de máscaras. De momento no es problema: guardo y reinicio y la GPU vuelte a estar liberada. Adobe, algo sutilmente, te recomienda que no regatees que los tiros futuros van por ahí, por aumentar los requerimientos de GPU... No te asustes cuando veas precios...  Los Studio son inasequibles. Me refiero a la serie de tarjetas, no a los controladores de las mismas. Estos en Nvidia suelen tener, las compatibles, dos versiones una gaming y otra Studio: este es el que recomienda Adobe.

Y finalmente, en la misma nota técnica de Adobe, sobre el tema de las CPU figura este enlace:

Hi @Silvia NP the Quadro k600 will not work with current Photoshop builds. It is not DirectX 12 compatible and is too slow. This page will help guide you for GPU questions.
