  • The reason why I asked was because there may be a laptop OEM (ACER) utility that can modify which applications require 3-D acceleration. – Tog Oct 12 '13 at 19:36

Lightroom does not utilize the GPU for performance improvements and this is clearly stated in the Lightroom help.

Video cards

Lightroom requires a video card that can run the monitor at its native resolution. Built-in, default cards that ship with most desktop or laptop systems typically suffice for Lightroom

Adobe Lightroom will not benefit from dedicated GPU or 3D as Lightroom doesn't use it. You are running 64-bit (I suppose) on an x64 OS with 8GB RAM, so you don't have to worry about VGA. Lightroom benefits the most from CPU and RAM.
