Can't get GPU to be recognized - crash

[Colonel Blip]

I just purchased an HP Spectre 360X 2 in 1, 8th gen i7, 16gb ram and all of the latest drivers. HP has apparently done me know favor by having to graphics devices in this machine, one an Intel and the other nVidia.

Generic PnP Monitor (3840x2160@64Hz)

Intel UHD Graphics 620 (HP)

2047MB NVIDIA GeForce MX150 (HP) 47 °C

ForceWare version: 388.43

SLI Disabled

Here are the detailed specs:

Intel UHD Graphics 620

Manufacturer Intel

Model UHD Graphics 620

Device ID 8086-5917

Revision 8

Subvendor HP (103C)

Current Performance Level Level 0

Driver version 22.20.16.4708

Count of performance levels : 1

Level 1 - "Perf Level 0"

NVIDIA GeForce MX150

Manufacturer NVIDIA

Model GeForce MX150

Device ID 10DE-1D10

Revision A2

Subvendor HP (103C)

Current Performance Level Level 0

Bus Interface PCI Express x4

Temperature 49 °C

Driver version 23.21.13.8843

BIOS Version 86.08.16.00.19

Physical Memory 2047 MB

Virtual Memory 2048 MB

================================

Here is my problem.

If I try to run with both devices enabled, PS crashes on attempting any operation, such as creating or opening a page. LR seem to be fine.

If I disable the InteI card I do not have the GPU performance setting active in PS but LR recognizes the NVidia card and all is well with it.

If I enable the Intel card and disable the NVidia card, LR runs but PS won't even open up to the create document screen.

Both of these cards should work with the software as best I can tell - but it ain't so. Any ideas?

I can't find a bug submission form other than call them or chat.

Hi

As you have found, multiple GPUs is known to cause issues with Photoshop.

Section 7 here gives advice on how to ensure Photoshop uses one GPU by assigning rather than disabling. It may help.

Hi

Photoshop is known to have issues with dual graphics card, take a look here and scroll down to this bit and see if that helps

Troubleshoot Photoshop graphics processor (GPU) and graphics driver issues

NVIDIA:

a. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose the NVIDIA control panel.

b. Click Manage 3D settings.

c. Click Program Settings and add Photoshop.exe and sniffer.exe. Change the preferred graphics processor to High-performance NVIDIA processor.

Thanks to you and Dave for the lead.

For whatever reason I do not get the nVidia control panel - get one for Intel only. Is this a downloadable app? Is it the same as GForce Expressions, which I deleted based upon a comment in the Adobe search.

Hi

You need to have the Nvidia driver installed, you can download the latest driver from here

Download Drivers | NVIDIA

If the driver is already installed just right click on the desktop and select this option

Once there go to Manage 3D settings and click on the add button and navigate to the below location and add Photoshop.exe, depending on your version of PS

and repeat for sniffer.exe

To you and Dave - wrote the following in a message but wanted it to be public.

"For some reason the forum now has me locked out. I'll try to sign of and back on, but I want to at least get back and thank you for the help. I reinstalled Gforce Expressions, d/l latest driver and the panel showed up. After that I followed your and Dave's advice and all is well. Thank you, thank you and thank you."

You're welcome - and well done Ged for the detailed screenshots

Got the same problem:

Since the new Lightroom Classic 2017 my old Laptop couldn't run it anymore. No problem so far as it was pretty old.

However, now I bought a brand new HP Envy with a Nvidia Geforce MX150 graphics card.

And again: Lightroom Develop module is not working! If I disable the Nvidia card everything works fine. Latest drivers already installed.

Since the new Lightroom Classic 2017 everything is screwed up and that really drives me mad!

I am now considering to cancel my subscription plan and move to another software.
