CS4 64 bit tells me that my graphic board is not longer accepted and I have to ugrade card or driver.
I use a Geforce 8800GT in my system and the lastest Nvidia driver. CS4 32 bit recognizes the card correctly. This is nice and also a lot faster then before but I need the 64bit version with hardware acceleration.
Any ideas to help me? I havn’t done any hardware changes.

This is what my system info with 64 bit cs 4 says. I can’t enable the button under performance activating the hardware acceleration.

Malojo, if you’re listening – hit the "edit" button or get Photoshop activated on a second machine fast…

Issue solved. It was the nvidia driver rather than the update. Going back to nvidia 181.22 solved the issue.

I have the same problem with ps cs4 11.01 update on my xp32 system, with a nvidia 295gtx…

I was using nvidias WQHL 182.06 as you were, all was working fine, then i updated to 11.01 and openGL is greyed out in prefs…

so i take it from this post that the only way to get openGL working again within ps 11.01 is to downgrade nvidias drivers, which is a shame because nvidias 182.06 driver has fixed alot of issuesw ive had with the 295gtx, so i hope this issue gets resolved as more people bring it to light, whether its nvidias or adobe that needs to do the ‘fix’.

I have the same issue, but I will stick to 182.06

This is not a driver bug in my view but CS4 lacking in recognising appropriate drivers. Not that I care though, I find the whole OpenGL a big disaster and I don’t see any major benefits that improve the quality of my work.

Hi,

Current nvidia beta drivers 182.46 fixes the issue in my case.
