Illustrator GPU (animated zoom) not working correctly

When working in Illustrator the preview of my design does not show correctly. It gets blurry all the time (and stays that way, until I go from GPU to CPU) and shows all kind of elements which are actually hidden behind a clipping-mask for example.

    Hello @DutchAlex,

    We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind trying the suggestions shared here (https://adobe.ly/3ULcmPK) to recalibrate your monitor(s) and then restarting the computer to check if the problem persists?

    Looking forward to your response.

    Thanks,
    Anubhav


    Problem solved after a complete reinstall of nvidia drivers with the tool https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/

    That will do the trick.

    Case closed. Nice day

    Hi. I was wondering why some illustrator artworks allow animated zoom and others not. After making some investigations, I've discovered the the use of Color Profiles makes animated zoom to being disabled. Don't use Color Profiles if you don't need it.

      Please check if there's an update for your graphic card driver available. Use the studio driver, not the gaming driver.

      Hello @Elineeee___,

      Sorry to hear about your experience. Are you using a Windows computer? If yes, kindly try performing a clean reinstallation of the GPU drivers (Intel / NVIDIA / AMD) and setting the Graphics Preference to High-Performance for Illustrator (https://adobe.ly/489HQ5b) to check if it helps.

      If you're using a Mac, try running Illustrator under a different administrator account (Windows / macOS) to check if it helps.

       

      Also, ensure the OS/Illustrator is up to date (Windows / macOS) (Illustrator Updates) and share your observations.

      Looking forward to hearing from you.

       

      Thanks,

      Anubhav

      Hi, 

      I am using a Macbook Pro. 
      I tried working under a different administartor account, but the same problem appears here as well. 
      All programs and systems are updated. 

      Hopefully there is another way to solve this? 

      Thanks!
