My P400 has 2GB of memory which is above the stated requirements. However, PL8 does not accept the card and requires to switch to CPU only.
The Quadro P400 is a 7 year old card which is very low end by today’s standards with only 2 gigabytes of memory, and is very far below the minimum recommended requirements.
When it was introduced it may have been a very decent card, but graphics technology has moved on very significantly since then as has the requirements for much more robust cards with significant amounts of onboard memory.
Where did you read that it is “above the stated requirements” for PhotoLab 8?

The minimum system configuration states 4Gb or 8Gb of VRAM depending upon the graphics card family. However, in the Preferences dialogue if you select your graphics card and it is too low a specification, the dialogue box text says it must have a minimum of 2Gb. This inconsistency is probably a cause of confusion / frustration to a number of people. It might be worth a fault report to DxO - although I’m sure the “fix” will be just to update the dialogue box text.
Thank you. Updating the dialogue box is a minimum.
I will probably substitute a new graphics card before updating or buy a Mac Mini. PL8 is fast enough on my Mac Book to enjoy the the Loupe feature and exporting is slow but does not occur in real time…
