Brink split a new question here from a reply on one of his tutorials if it will help anyone,

The title of the thread: Adobe spec's show no graphics card installed

From your System Specs:

[B]Graphics Card [/B](1) Intel(R) G45/G43 Express Chipset   (2) Intel(R) G45/G43

From adobe system.txt:

gpu[0].Renderer="Intel(R) G45/G43 Express Chipset"

No discrepancy is there.

To increase WEI, the only feasible way is to employ more resources.

Thanks Archie how would one go about that this is really not my area,
Any nominal upgrades in equipment my spec's are current,
Is there anything Intel makes which adobe likes
Cheers.

I used Adobe Photoshop with Intel's onboard HD graphics over a couple of months, and it worked flawlessly for me. My computer is just an entry level one.

Mike you would have to install a dedicated GPU card to change anything.

 

[ThrashZone]

I'd love to know how to accomplish any upgrades...
The only catch is please pretend I'm a 7 yo because this is way over my head,
The other thread has some comparison screen shots of an core i3 with my G45...
Thanks you guys,
Cheers.

Nothing very hard. Get any GPU at your choice. Put it in the PCIe slot. Apply the VGA/DVI cable there. Update the driver.

All are done.



If you plan to get nvidia, I will suggest to not get any 700 series GPU, because of the driver issue. No restriction for AMD

Thanks for video Archie does really help
My box is way smaller than his,
Any thoughts on this one seems price wise is okay ?

That AMD card I think would be over powering for your system.

Open your case to see if you can see a label on the PSU to see how many watts it supplies, take a pic and post if in doubt/

 

[AddRAM]

Good choice on the card though, did you take a stab in the dark ?

 

[ThrashZone]

I suppose price range was really the factor it didn't seem to extreme,
Problem is it won't fit inside my box and it possibly is overpowering for my system,
I need a low profile one the case is pretty small
Decided to build a new system which Gary made a new question in the builds section if you want to take a peek ?
Cheers.

You just need a low profile video card.

Newegg.com - low profile video cards

Thoughts,
Newegg.com - ZOTAC ZT-60209-10L GeForce GT 640 2GB 64-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

It says recommended minimum 350W PSU.

 

[ThrashZone]

Okay I missed that,
Most do not say anything about minimum wattage,
I doubt a 512mg would do anything for cs6 3d and all of the 1gig's are about the same as the 2gig ones all need 350w or above power,
About the only positive thing is I cleaned my machine which was filth,
Unless you see one I'm not ?
Cheers back to the build.
I'm going check on some of the items you suggested locally.

 

[AddRAM]

Don`t get too hung up on it`s recommended power needs. I think they are over rated.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hum,
Well it's not like I'm a power user and play Any games which I do not,
I do not own 1 game nor do I plan on it,
Pick one knowing that this is mainly for cs6 3d the costs are minimum as far as I've seen I don't mind throwing 100 at it and see if it sticks
The build I would have to do in two parts anyway and see if I can the items with the most likely chances of failing locally like the power supply which by the way none of them raving reviews

Keep in mind that the MB supports only PCIe x16 2.0 and a maximum of 8GB of memory. (From the spec I saw)
You won't see near half the potential of PCIe 3.0 video card. It's waste of money. Check your BIOS and see if your video chip set can be OC'd a little. (If you can add a fan.) I did mine and picked up almost a full point but I added a fan over the top of the PCH.
