GPU support on non Retina Macs
Please enable support for GPU utilisation on non Retina enabled screens. My graphics card is more than able to lever this ability, it's just my Mac 27" is not Retina.

My mac studio Max 2 in ID seems to work better with GPU turned off than on

Your GPU is recognized. But you need at least QHD monitor connected to your mac to activate this feature. In system requirements they ask for retina or so, but it works with QHD too.

I have a mac studio with M2 Max and indesign doesn't recognize the graphics card. The zoom gets in the way when I need to make the pages bigger or smaller.

Why is this still an issue? Indesign must have gpu support for non retina monitors.

GPU acceleration now works without Retina Display too, using 14.0.3 version of InDesign on Mojave (using Mac Pro 2010 with RX 560 and two non retina displays).

Adobe - pleeeeeez, do it. It works on photoshop and illustrator, why Indesign is not????

Enable GPU acceleration for all supported hardware without retina displays. the display we are using is irrelevant, might as well require a Magic Mouse or a Logitech keyboard. My GPU supports acceleration, so accelerate my graphics. 2x ATI D300 FirePro GPUs

I am staggered that Adobe InDesign does not support GPU performance on standard display i-Macs - there must be tens of thousands of frustrated InDesign users now struggling with performance issues. This is a huge oversight, particularly when Photoshop and Illustrator both support GPU performance on older iMacs - sad to say very poor of Adobe.

To enable animated zoom I need to use GPU performance (which I exceed requirements) but I also need a certain monitor. Maybe not a bug but its a bit like saying I can't use AC in my car because its the wrong colour.
Not being able to use the animated zoom, which ruins the workflow between adobe applications. -

I wish that GPU acceleration and the presence of a retina monitor weren't tied tougher. I have a MacBook Pro that I have docked and driving two monitors. If I want GPU acceleration I have to open my laptop when launching InDesign to enable GPU acceleration. I'm not sure why this feature requires a retina screen at launch.
It works just fine if I open the laptop and launch InDesign and close the laptop.
GPU acceleration doesn't seem to have the same requirements in other Adobe products that I use (Illustrator, Photoshop, or After Effects). -

Make this a PRIORITY Please!!

#metoo - I really don't understand why this doesn't work only in InDesign?! After Effects is happy with everything and the GPU card specs in my Mac sure exceed the requirements

I have a 2013 MacPro with dual d500 GPU's and an Eizo CG277 Monitor...which is the pinnacle of graphic design monitors. I can't enable GPU performance?! Retina monitors do not have near the color accuracy of Eizos.
My Eizo connects via thunderbolt 2 and USB...both at the same time. The bandwidth is definitely sufficient.
It is ridiculous.... I have more than enough power, let me utilize it. Your requirements are not valid for professionals.Please expand your list of GPU Performance systems beyond "Retina Monitors"

I would also like this; I don't understand why Illustrator and Photoshop both can have this enabled on my Mac, but not InDesign.

I would like to add my vote as well - on PC! GPU updates have come to PS and AI, but I live in INDD and would love an update.

Paul commented
This is ridiculous especially given that the new Indesign 2018 appears to be more demanding graphics wise!!!

There is no GPU support for Retina Macs either. I have it disabled to use other features that are effected.
