photoshop 2021/22

Hi mate,

What sort of photoshop work do you do? Does it involve a lot of heavy rendering or is just just run of the mill/typical stuff.

By 'the latest photoshop' I presume you mean Adobe's subscription service. 'Adobe Creative Cloud' ?

When you say
says my old one not good enough
What says your old one is not good enough?

I'm surprised yours doesn't meet spec, it must be OLD. I suspect its a lack of Directx12 support.
What card do you have now?

What, and how many monitors are you running?
and out of interest What CPU and RAM you have.

At a minimum (according to what I could find on google) Adobe claim it requires a GPU with DirectX 12 support and 2 GB of memory.
Though I disagree and would strongly recommend at least 6GB of GPU RAM
So something like a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or better.

Ideally if I were you I'd get a GPU with 8GB RAM which should see you right for quite a few more years.

As to which one specifically? Whatever you can get for a good price :)

Yes that info would certainly he handy. I note that the GPU requirements have changed - in October last year - so unless you haven't used photoshop in the interim this shouldn't be a new error.

October 2021 release (version 23.0) and later
Important! The Photoshop hardware requirements for Processor and Graphics card and have increased for version 23.x.
With specs listed as per @arc@css post. Quite possibly your card lacks DirectX 12 support.
