GPU Needs Acceleration Error

[Janice Smith]

Hi Brian, 

I just bought a new computer today, and I thought I had the recommended requirements (per PS’s website.) All was working great until about 15 minutes ago when I tried to open a file in ACR and received an error message that read GPU needs acceleration. Unfortunately this computer is what was within budget.

Crisis averted. Updated to the Nvidia Studio Driver. Seems to be working good now. For now. LOL

Yeah, ok...so I lied. I'm still randomly getting that error message.  It corrects itself when I close and reopen both Bridge and PS.  I have updated to the newest Nvidia Studio Driver. I have gone into the Grapics settings and forced PS to utilize the Nvidia grapics card. I'm in sRGB, just have to double check if I'm 8 or 16 bit, pretty sure I'm in 8.

I read some other possible fixes on Adobe's community site, such as deleting a TempDisableGUP file, which people say have fixed the issue, but I'm not computer savvy enough to even find the file. I don't want to break a new computer. I have 12 days left to return this thing, problem is....I can't afford anything more, and I thought the specs were good enough, as I followed the "recommended" section of PS's website. 

Yes, I have a d850.  I found this info on the internet and not sure if it's something I should consider changing in camera? 

The D850 offers the following RAW file sizes, which correspond to different effective megapixel counts:

• Large: 45.4 MP (native resolution)
• Medium (mRAW): 25.5 MP
• Small (sRAW): 11.3 MP

Ok, hopefully I really found the fix. I’ve been working on for well over an hour and no crashes. The screenshot is what was suggested on the adobe support form and it worked. I probably lost some AI features, but I don’t even know how to use them anyway. So for now, this totally works!

I also have a D850, and the full resolution without and compression, at 14-bit produces around 100 MB Raw Files. (Well, ususally 98.xx or 99. xx, it's just easier to say 100MB Raw Files.)

The NVIDIA Studio Drivers are meant for Adobe's Products, and the one's that you should be using. I'm not a fan of the "60" or "50" with NVIDIA's products, and prefer the "70" & "80" versions, i.e., RTX 4070 / RTX 4080. But it is what it is. The 4060's are cheap for manufacturers to install, that's why they use them. 

Anyway, yeah...you. might lose some stupid AI Crap, but it's not a big deal. At its core, Photoshop is still Photoshop, and it's likely you will probably never use those AI Tools, unless you go actively looking for them.
