Hello Adobe Support \ Community

 

I want find out will Adobe Photoshop work on a notebook with a Intel HD graphics 520 vs 620. Adobe Photoshop will only be used for basic 2d photo editing.

 

Kind Regards

Hi @JRJakkals you are limited with your hardware, you should try looking at Photoshop Elements. It allows for basic photo editing and the requirements are a little more forgiving. You'd still be running slower than on a newer card, but your chances of running at all will be better and the investment would be less.

    So I installed latest trial version of Adobe Photoshop using Intel Graphics 520. Shows it is compatible...This means I can edit photos but can do 3D modeling?????

     


    Strange now 3D is working and Performance....

    Hi @JRJakkals to put it simply - neither will work well. The faster of the two Intel HD 620 clocks in under 500 ops/second. The minimum recommended speed is 2,000 ops/sec. These cards are over 8 years old.

    I would not recommend either.

     

    The system requirements for Photoshop are here:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/system-requirements.html

     

    and GPU specifics here:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cc-gpu-card-faq.html

    Adobe recommends a minimum of 1.5 GB GPU RAM (with 4GB recommended) , Direct X 12 support and a passmark benchtest of 2000.

     

    The HD520 does not have dedicated VRAM but shares system RAM, it does support Direct X 12 but only scores 413 on the Passmark benchtest

     

    The HD 620 does not have dedicated VRAM but shares system RAM, it does support Direct X 12 but only scores 432 on the passmark benchtest
