Are you editing the Raw images on Camera Raw or do you edit a developped image with the Camera Raw Filter?

Do you have a dual monitor setup, and is one of them wide gamut?

 

This difference corresponds very closely to the difference between sRGB and Adobe RGB / Display P3, which makes me suspect that ACR uses the wrong monitor profile.

 

Are you using a calibrator to make your monitor profiles? Which one?

No dual monitor setup, I have a samsung galaxy book pro 2 that has AMOLED screen and with profile of P3 changed it to Adobe RGB, but even if its P3 shouldnt both image look same ( unless on the RAW filter it ignores the P3 profile and when its open in photoshop it goes back to P3 ) dono if im making any sence out of this !

The monitor profile is not something you "experiment" with. Only one is the correct one, and that's the one that describes your display's actual and current behavior. Whenever that behavior changes, the profile is invalidated and you need a new one.

 

Either way, if this is a P3-type (wide gamut) display, you must use a calibrator. There's no way around it. Generic manufacturer profiles are far too error-ridden and notoriously unreliable.

 

Also, if this is a dual graphics laptop (they all are nowadays), you need to disable the integrated GPU. This is a huge problem with laptops.

 

The underlying problem is a fundamental one: this isn't a one-way downstream flow like it traditionally was, and still is in simpler applications. Photoshop uses the GPU for actual data processing, and the result returned to Photoshop for further processing. In this equation, there can only be one GPU. You can't send data to one and get it back from the other. Dual GPUs will very quickly conflict.


Keep in mind that applications aren't written to run directly on hardware. They are written to standardized APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). You have to assume that whatever is on the other side of those APIs work as intended.
