i am trying to use 3D features but it is saying " your video card is not good we will use software randring thing" (i dont remember exact error but erros means this) i update my video driver and i installed OPENGL. and when i go to Edit>Prefrences>performance in photoshops menu the GPU section is gray and under the "video card detected" is nothing. so it looks like photoshop is not detecting my video card. any help?|||http://prodesigntools.com/forums/thread/…|||The link for best answer doesn't address this question correctly. The link refers to a problem with ATI driver 11.3 being problematic.



The correct answer to this question is the X1200 only has 128MB VRAM and the min. requirement for Ps CS5 is 256MB VRAM. (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404898.html)

|||The ATI X1200 is about as low-end as you can get for video. Since it's a laptop, you can't upgrade it either. Just use the software rendering, slow as it may be, because that's all you're going to get with that laptop.|||Your video card doesn't support rendering acceleration. There's nothing you can do except upgrade it or live with software rendering.
