Hello.

I’d like to know if cs2 works well with ati radeon 9800 or geforce 6600 cards? Right now I’m using radeon 7500, and in photoshop cs2 redrawing of the image and even just the toolbar is very slow and frustrating. I only had this problem with cs2, other versions worked perfectly.

Googling a little other people to have this problem as well, and it seems to be an issue with some cards (even new ones) and cs2.

So I’d like to know is if anyone has worked with cs2 on computer having one of the previously mentioned cards, if so did you experience any redrawing problems?

Thanks in advance.

I use a Geforce 6600 GT without issue. Photoshop performance is about the same as it was using a 32 MB Geforce 2MX. I would watch your Scratch Disk usage in the info pane at the bottom of your image windows. The only time I have had the GUI lag is when my box was writing to the scratch disk.

Since a picture is worth at least a few hundred words: the values are circled in red, the control to get the pop-out menu of options to view is circled in blue.

The value on the left is your current memory usage, the value to the right of the slash is the memory allocated to PS.

I suspect a memory upgrade might be a better use of money. If you motherboard will support it, then upgrading to at least a gig of RAM (~$100 US online) might help more than a new video card.

hope this helps,

Sean
