GPU accelerated photoshop

ShadowFold · Apr 18, 2009, 05:22 PM

How do I get Photoshop CS4 GPU accelerated via CUDA? I have the 181 beta drivers for win7 right now.

Do you not just enable GPu acceleration in the settings/preferences menu?

Oh and it seems it is OpenGL/DirectX accelerated as opposed to CUDA.

It should set GPU acel. automaticlly. Goto into preferences just to double check

It's moving slow and as if I were using CPU like in this vid

Where is the preference menu exactly? I can't find it.

don't expect much, its not like entire photoshop runs on gpu. just some functions like zoom.

I know, it's kinda slow on extremely large images unlike the video I posted above.

It's on.. But really big images kinda lag when I edit them

probably not using my 3rd core, lazy coders.

when enabled the gpu is only used for displaying functions. nothing that changes pixels like editing or filters
