"GPU Compositing" option doesn't exist for me

[Harzem5FCB]

I have just read that Photoshop has introduced "GPU compositing" back in April. This option has never been available on my copy, and I can't determine the reason. I keep my app up to date at all times, right now I'm on 23.5 

I have Intel i7-5820k, 32 GB RAM, with the GPU NVIDIA GTX 960 2GB VRAM. The GPU is properly detected. See the attached screenshot.

Why don't I have this option and is there a way to enable this?

Hi – I just checked - I didn't either!

Please, someone from the Adobe team?

GPU compositing was removed some time ago, I can't remember the exact version but Adobe removed it because it was causing majors issues for some particular feature, so Adobe decided to bin it for the time been.

My understanding was that the option to switch off GPU compositing manually was removed, not the actual function.

You could be correct Dave, I can't remember what actually happened at the time, either way the option is gone 😀
