Camera Raw bug with the new Nvidia drivers

I'm having a similar proble.

Recently bought a GTX 1060 to upgrade from GTX560TI to improve speed of some Photoshop operations using GPU acceleration. GTX 560TI worked fine but having problems with GTX 1060 and new drivers. In Abobe Camera Raw I see blocks and checkers when making adjustments, These clear if I pan or zoom but it is very distracting when processing images, Tried all level of GPU accel (basic, normal and advanced).

I've tried the following driver versions; 399.07 (the oldest I can see on the nvidea site, 417.34 (latest) and 411.70.

I wonder if this is similar to the behavior I have started to see in ACR and Lightroom.  I thought it was due to the latest release of Camera Raw (11) and one of the relatively recent releases (perhaps within the past month) of Lightroom Mobile for Android, as I've started to see pixel corruption.  If I zoom in to the image, it looks almost like a series of color gradients (a CLUT perhaps?) in the top rows of my DNG files once I've applied processing settings to them via either.  If I clear any processing settings, the top rows still show up as mostly black in ACR...if I switch to software rendering, these rows show up black.  I updated both my Adobe Create Cloud applications and Nvidia drivers yesterday, which kinda compounded the issue.   Note: If I open the same DNG in an older version of Bridge (CS6), the preview shows the corruption  but not if I open it in the older ACR (9.1.1) dialog and magnify the affected region (and the top rows render correctly, not black)...which makes me suspect the DNG files themselves have not been permanently corrupted.

I also have a DNG that refuses to render properly after I change settings in the latest version of ACR (if I increase exposure to an appealing level, it automatically darkens after I hit ok or open the file in Photoshop...if I decrease exposure, it automatically brightens).  If I disable GPU acceleration, the settings stick on the image that opens in Photoshop, but not necessarily the preview in Bridge.

All DNGs in question were shot with my Samsung Galaxy S9's rear camera using the standard camera app in Pro mode.  I have not seen any such issues with CR2 files from my Canon 5D Mark II.

Hi Sebastian_Smolak,

Sorry that your images are getting distorted in Camera raw with the GPU enabled.

Which version of Camera raw are you using? Are you able to edit the image fine with an older GPU driver?

Thanks,
