Photoshop CC 2018 loses GPU acceleration after sleep. Is this a known issue or some setting? 100% reproducible here.

  1. Zoom in/out, nice and fluid, GPU acceleration working
  2. Put computer to sleep
  3. Wake computer up
  4. Zoom in/out, zoom now causing a marquee, dragging slow etc.
  5. Restart Photoshop
  6. Back to 1

Seems resolved in latest update. And/or latest NVidia driver, don't know which, but would guess the former.

The same thing is happening to me. The latest Photoshop and also the latest non-beta NVidia drivers (388.31 from Novomber 15th). Seems the devil is hidden somewhere else than just having the latest SW. The bug started to appear about a week ago. Never happened before and I am using Photoshop daily for years.

Oh? Wow that's really weird. I'll keep monitoring on my end, maybe the issue will come back as well.

No, it is not resolved.  Running a Radeon 370x win 10 machine and Ihave this issue!

So, do I log this as a bug somewhere? Is this even the right place to get support from Adobe or is this community only?

Just tried the process as per your list and I cannot replicate the error.

Can you try to disable the GPU, restart PS and enable it again?

Done. Everything normal, no gpu acceleration after restart. After enabling it again and restarting 3d acceleration is back. Go to sleep, wake up, it's gone again.

So I've also just tried in CC 2017 and there is no such issue. I think we can agree it's a CC 2018 thing.

If you are using Windows 10 or 8.1, you could try turning off Hibernation.  It will save you a bunch of drive space, and stop the issues that often arrise after a system wakes after Hibernation.

Hibernation is turned off. Sorry I thought that was clear when I wrote sleep.

Without actual system info nobody can tell you anything. More than anything else this has to do with your drivers and your energy saving settings, not so much Photoshop, though arguably it could behave more intelligently.

Only Photoshop loses GPU acceleration. I use other stuff like Mari that works just fine after waking up. All latest drivers, i7 4770k, 32gb ram, 1080 Ti. Windows 10 Pro 64bit.
