Denoise Not Working - Green Static

Hi,

 

I'm processing RAW photos from a Sony A7iv, and whenever I try to applying denoise in Lightroom I get this bad artifacting across the entire image (see image). The weird thing is, if I bring the same ARW file into Photoshop, Camera RAW has no problem opening it and applying the Enhance -> Denoise filter.

 

My machine is a Lenono P1 Gen 6, specs:

Intel Core i9-13900H

64GB RAM, 4TB SSD

NVDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Driver rev: 538.92

Windows 11 23H2

 

Lightroom and all of my system drivers are up to date. It looks like my NVIDIA driver might be behind. but I wanted to ask the question here since it IS working in Photoshop. Just wondering if there's something I'm missing.

 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Rikk. 

 

I updated the drivers this morning and it started working again. Posting this reply so others with the problem can see that this solution worked for me.

This looks like a bad/out of date GPU Driver. 

I would recommend updating to nVidia's latest Studio (not Gaming) driver.

The screenshot shown above is identical to to the one shown in the post that I've linked below. I suspect that it's the same user posting under different accounts.

Fun story. No, it's just a different person with the same buggy problem. But thanks for adding your expertise here.
