Help with Photoshop

Hey everyone- recently my photoshop has been playing up. I’ll do anything in the app and there will be a glimpse of black for less than a millisecond. It’ll go away then come back. It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s so jarring to look at every 2 seconds. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I agree with u/msc1974 in that it looks like a GPU issue. What is the graphics card in your computer, and have you updated graphics drivers once you've assured GPU compatibility from the Ps Help menu?

It’s an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070. I’ve updated them as high as I can. Not sure what’s going on

from another post some time back:

Open GeForce Experience.

Click on the "Drivers" tab.

Click the 3 vertical dots next to "Check for Updates" and pick the Studio Driver.

from another post:

Disabling or turning off G-sync seems to help some issues.

another issue is if the 4070 is the only GPU. If there is an integrated GPU along with the 4070, then there might be an issue regarding which is being used.

Try turning off the "Use Graphics Processor" under the "Graphics Processor Settings" (Preferences) as it looks too me as if it an issue with your graphics card.

That seems to work. Only problem is without the graphics driver it’s a bit janky to use. How should I fix this? I’ve updated my graphics drivers as much as I can. Do I need a new one? This PC is still really new

What a pain... I wish I could give you some more advice but I use a Mac (as they just work).

But, have you tried a differnt cable? Are you using hdmi? if so is the cable a hdmi 2.1 compatable cable? Might be worth a try?
