Screen Flashing/Flickering for all Adobe software

yes, Adobe has known about this for years and have stated that it won't be fixed. If GSync is active, all Adobe apps cause fickering.

Adobe writing on GPU (video card) issues.

Here are some suggestions from Adobe for GPU issues.

First check the system requirements: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html

Also:

Does turning on »Deactivate Native Canvas« (Photoshop > Preferences > Technology Previews) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

And sometimes this helps:

Go to Preferences > Performance... and uncheck Multithreaded Compositing - and restart Photoshop.

Also try this:

Check your hardware acceleration settings and in particular turn off the Native Canvas.

Do that in Preferences>Technology Previews:

check the tickbox for 'Deactivate Native Canvas' and uncheck 'Enable Native Canvas ', then restart Photoshop

Next step would be to go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and enable "Older GPU mode (pre 2016)", then restart Photoshop

Next step would be to disable the GPU in Photoshop preferences, then restart Photoshop

consider updating your graphics driver

I hope this helps

As Kevin says.

In addition, docking stations are known to be problematic in many situations like this. Your laptop has a low-powered integrated Intel GPU in addition to the Nvidia, and the docking station probably runs everything off that. Connect your monitor directly by HDMI or DisplayPort.

If it still flashes, you should disable the Intel GPU completely. It will likely conflict with the Nvidia GPU.

Hi @TurfCare28616939bhuo do you have a P520 or P5200?

If you have a P520 you do not meet minimum requirements for graphics card for PS.

You can try updating the driver, but the issue is your P520 only clocks in at 874 ops/sec and the minimum speed is 2,000 ops sec for Photoshop.

I would expect you to have issues running multiple applications at the same time with this lower end graphics card.

The other question is does the flickering occur when the external monitors are not connected? It could be your GPU cannot handle multiple monitors and the software at the same time.
