P: Cursor stuttering & screen flickering in Photoshop on high refresh rate G-sync monitors

If you're a nvidia gsync user and experiencing mouse stuttering in Ps (and all Adobe apps), try turning off gsync to see if that resolves the issue. 
Basically what happens is that any activity in an Adobe app will result in 2-3 seconds of micro-cursor stuttering (looks like frame rate dropping) and the occasional 3-4 seconds of cursor freeze. Disabling gsync fixes the issue. This behavior appears only in Adobe apps and none other.

OMG, OMG! G-sync is now working in photoshop!!!! Yes! OpenGL and G-sync! P.S. Did not see the indicator first! https://photos.app.goo.gl/6uUw4svfkz1FqjJa6

So, thanks to nvidia we now have 30 bit color AND G-sync in windowed Vulkan and OpenGL (while OpenCL, Directx 12, 11, 9, 8 and UWP apps worked before). That is just great! If only Nvidia solved that bug with indirect instancing which blender suffers from! https://developer.blender.org/T70011

P.S. was fixed!
