MX150 Photoshop Element's

[arin1478989]

I have a Huawei Matebook Pro from 2018. It has a dedicated 2gb Nvidia MX150 card in it. But Photoshop Elements 2020 only seems to detect the integrated Iris as the 'gpu'. I cannot seem to figure out how to get the GPU to work with Photoshop here. 

Like when I pinch to zoom for example it doesn't scroll smoothly, it's so choppy. My Macbook from 2012 is way smoother. 

Any suggestions? When I go into preferences it only gives me GPU tweak settings for facial features, and even there it doesn't detect the MX150.

Not all graphics cards are supported.  Your dedicated card is a fairly baseline GPU, so it may not be sufficient to support the Adjust Facial Features tool.

However, if you go to the Windows Device Manager, you can try disabling the integrated Iris gpu and, after a reboot, see whether Elements picks up your nVidia card.

You did it! Thank you so much!!! I've been trying to get this to work since before the pandemic but was too stubborn to post about it. 

Thanks so much!
