Terrible Photoshop lagging

Photoshop is lagging seriously overall.
It is also unstable when running, and when a new document is created, the screen is blackfaded, and the screen is turned back on after Photoshop is turned off.
I don't think it's a problem with computer performance, but I'll attach the computer specifications.

 

 OS: Window 10 pro

CPU: 5800x

GPU: RTX 3080

RAM: 64GB

And I am using a 4K monitor.

Hi,

 

We're sorry about the trouble with Photoshop. Would you mind telling us the exact version of Photoshop you're working on?

 

Please ensure you have all available Windows updates installed on the computer along with the latest drivers for the RTX 3080 from Nvidia's website. You can try optimizing the Preferences of Photoshop using the steps suggested here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-photoshop-cc-performance.html

 

If the issue persists, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/2Qzc0K3

Please backup your settings prior to resetting the preferences. You can check: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG

 

Let us know how it goes!

Regards,
