With GPU enabled and working zoomed in, paths are distorted

Hi @Dennis_Z,

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing distorted paths while working with small-scale shapes in Illustrator using GPU preview. I can understand how frustrating this must be, especially after you've gone through the trouble of reinstalling your entire MacBook to resolve the issue.

I'd like to let you know that this issue sometimes occurs in the GPU preview as it focuses on providing a fast and smooth preview experience while working on your projects. The Adobe Illustrator team is constantly working on improving the GPU preview quality to address such issues.

In the meantime, you can rely on the CPU preview, as it provides an accurate representation of how your artwork will look once it's exported or saved. To quickly switch between GPU & CPU preview, you can go to View > Preview on CPU or simply press Cmd/Ctrl + E.

I understand that this may not be an ideal solution, but rest assured that the Illustrator team is aware of such issues and is working diligently to improve the software.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any other concerns or questions. We're here to help.

Best regards,
Anshul
