System Information in Adobe Photoshop CS6 wrong


Recommended Posts

My system reports that its Windows NT Version 6.2 with OpenCL unavailable. Wrong and sucks that OpenCL

hardware assist is turned off.

 

Windows 8.1 x64 with latest GTX 680 drivers from NVida with all the optional drivers loaded like 3D Vision.

 

I spend most of my time in Lightroom, so I missed this problem with my rig up until now.

 

Do you users of CC on Windows 8.1 get the right information from System Information?

 

Do you users of CS6 report the same with your Windows 8.1 system as me?

 

The Windows Compatibility Tool tells me that CS6 is incompatible with Windows 8.1 and forwards me to Adobe

to buy CC.

Upgraded to Photoshop CC edition. OpenCL is now enabled

 

I encourage ALL users of CS6 to check their OpenCL in Photoshop's System Information results.

 

Not some third party tool, but the System Information tool in PS itself. It's Adobe's test that is failing to detect OpenCL

 

The bug effects both AMD and NVidia hardware on Windows 7 and Windows 8.

 

Adobe's fix is in the CC edition, so unless you are running it, you have no hardware assist via OpenCL
