Color shift when using GPU acceleration in ON

Hi all, 

 

Just build a pc with new Nvidia GTX4060 Ti card, mainly for photo/video editing.

Unfoirtunatley, using Adobe Lightroom with GPU acceleration shifts colors in develope module. When I disable GPU,  colors look normal. I do want to have accaleration ON as the lightroom is quite faster. Anyone had similar issue? Graphics drivers are up to date. 
I was playing with some monitor color profiles but that has not changed anything. 

 

I heard Nvidia cards are better supported with Adobe products but now I am not entierly convinced... 

 

Please help. 

Thanks!

The monitor profile plays a part in this too. The conversion into the monitor profile is executed in the GPU, and a defective profile can make the GPU fail.

 

Differences between Library and Develop (which is what you have when GPU is on), and between applications, is a red flag pointing to a bad monitor profile.

 

Are you using a calibrator to make your monitor profiles? Which one? If not, you're probably getting manufacturer profiles through Windows Update, and these profiles are often defective in various ways.

Thanks for pointing me into good direction! Yes, corrupted monitor profile was the reason.

 

Although, I know this post is not related to photoshop, but this may happen in photoshop as well. 

 

To check if your profile is corrupted please follow instruction: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-change-my-monitor-profile-to-check-whether-its-corrupted/
