Live Tip Preview not showing pen tilt or rotation

I have recently had a hardware change and now the Live Tip Brush Preview is not working anymore, tilt and rotation are working, the pen tip is just not live updating accordingly anymore.

I am using a 3900x on WS x570-ACE and a 960 gtx
Wacom Intuos Pro L 2017
Photoshop CC 21.1
I am using Windows Ink
I have all the latest drivers for my hard- and software
I have everything enabled in the Photoshop Graphic Processor Settings

When i changed my hardware i also had to swap a 2060 for a 960 because of RMA, could this be the source of the problem, do i maybe have to use a specific older driver to get OpenCL to work?

Or could it have to do with the new mainboard that i am using, for example i have noticed that the usb 2.0 ports of my case have stopped working. It seems like the mainboard does not support them anymore.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    There are several issues described in the first post, but if you are reading this thread specifically because Live Tip Brush Preview is no longer working, that has a specific explanation not connected to other problems: As of Photoshop 2020 version 21.0.3, the Brush Preview window has been removed, according to the Adobe support document Known issues in Photoshop / Painting:

     

    “The brush preview window has been discontinued in Photoshop 21.x and later.”

     

    If you want to know the version when this happened, the Adobe help page Create and modify brushes / Bristle tip shape options / Brush Preview says “The brush preview window has been discontinued in Photoshop 21.0.3 (January 2020 release) and is no longer available.”

    21.1.3 was released months ago. If it isn’t listed in your Creative Cloud desktop app, choose Help > Check for Updates. You can see in the figure below that the last version of Photoshop 2020 is actually 21.1.4.

    Hi all, I have been having the same issue with the live updating of the brush tip when using the rotate feature of the Wacom Art pen, I recently upgraded to recent version of PS and noticed my brush no longer showed the cursor rotation as it did in previous versions ( the brush did rotate but the cursor stayed in the default static position )

    Before in previous version of PS, you had to enable brush Pose and then Brush projection in Shape dynamics to see the brush update live as you rotated your pen.

    After some playing about trying to figure it out, I discovered this...

    It seems in this version of PS rotation using the Wacom Art Pen is controlled by Angle Jitter - Rotation in the brush Dynamics section of your brush settings.

    Set the angle jitter to Rotation, and enabling Brush pose with Override Tilt X and Tilt Y enabled. Set rotation in Brush pose to 360

    Your brush cursor will now rotate live when you rotate the Wacom art pen.

    Hope this helps others who have been struggling with this issue as well

    What version of Photoshop?  The live brush tip preview window has been removed in the current version (v21.1)

      Version 21.1
      It's not just the absence of the preview window for the special brushes though, the main issue is that regular brush tips do not show the the pen tilt or rotation anymore.

      Just tested and I see what you mean.

      The brush tip is only updating when initially  touched down on the canvas and the tip remains the same throughout the stroke (although the actual stroke is responding to tilt)

       

      There is a bug report here , which you may wish to "Me too" and add your comments
