No Graphics Acceleration v8.4

Report · Aug 13, 2019

I just upgraded from LR 8.3.1 to 8.4 and support for my Graphics Card acceleration seems to have disappeared. I'm sure it was working under previous version but under Edit/Preferences/Performance, the graphics acceleration is now marked as "off" with a message that my system isn't supported. Checking out the list of Graphics cards it seems that my GeForce GTX 750ti card is now no longer supported by latest LR version. So, the promised improvements in perofmance that I've been waiting for aren't available to me unless I shell out for a new card - unless of course any helpful soul on here can point me in the right direction please? It's also worth noting that the graphics card IS supported in the latest version of Photoshop CC.

Try updating the Nvidia drivers. If this doesn't help then you may be forced to buy a new card. GTX 750 Ti is 5 years old after all...

Thanks - have got latest driver installed.

Does the latest driver help or not?

Report · Aug 13, 2019

Sorry Ian, I had it installed before the problem so didn't need to update it.

Make sure to follow the "Clean Driver Install" step to do a clean Nvidia driver install.

For some reason your GPU has been blacklisted by Adobe Lr / ACR team. There's nothing anyone on this forum can do to change that. Best you raise the issue at Lightroom Classic | Photoshop Family Customer Community The engineering team and/or QE visit that forum.

This GPU is not on a blacklist in 8.4 for Windows.

These GPU acceleration feature requirements for Camera Raw 11.4 also apply to Lightroom Classic 8.4:

Camera Raw system requirements

The OS and driver version and not just the card model are considerations.

I may be able to shed some more light on the problem if you can share some log files for Lr Classic.

In the Logs folder (see instructions below) you should find log files with names beginning with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic Log Latest." The v1 log file might be helpful.

Here are some generic instructions for finding these logs:

Collect Logs

IMPORTANT: You must QUIT the host application BEFORE you collect the log files.

The best way to collect a log about a bug is to.

Quit the host app.

Re-launch the host app.

Perform the minimum number of steps required to reproduce the problem.

Quit the host app again.

Now collect the log files.

On Windows the log location is:

%APPDATA%\Adobe\CameraRaw\Logs

One shortcut to get to this folder on Windows is to...

Tap the Windows key

Enter "Run"

Enter "%APPDATA%\Adobe\CameraRaw\Logs"

For example:

C:\Users\tester\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Logs

Please report your Lightroom>Help>System Info...

And try to follow Lr 8.4 instructions in this FAQ https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/lightroom-gpu-faq.html to update your GPU driver from Nvidia.

Report · Aug 13, 2019

I recommend trying to re-install the latest Nvidia driver for your GPU as the next step. I would have expected GPU accelerated display to work for you in 8.4 if it was working in 8.3. Do you still have 8.3 installed? Are you sure it still works in the older version, or does an error appear now in 8.3 as well?

The Lightroom GPU FAQ has some instructions about updating your GPU driver, see "Solution 4," "Step 4" on this page: Adobe Lightroom GPU Troubleshooting and FAQ

Another diagnostic report you can try to generate that may help is the Dxdiag report. Click on the windows icon, type in "Dxdiag" then run it. The DirextX Diagnostic tool should launch and run some tests (there is a progress bar). When the test i done, the "Save all information..." button will let you save the full report to a text file.

@dfranzen2, what info shows in the preferences popup for Lightroom show under the performance tab. It should look like the included screen capture if the driver is supported.

If not show a screen capture like this from your system.
