Why is my shape tool and text tool pixelated?

Hi all, 

 

I have an issue that I cannot seem to find a resolution to within the forum. I don't know when it started happening but anytime I create a shape, or text, it pixelates when adjusting. 

You can see in the video that it looks fine until I slightly move the object then looks like 8-bit NFTS..LOL. 

 

Resolution is 300ppi, and I also tried 72ppi. No matter what I do it's always the same outcome. I can't create anything outside a standard square. 

 

I've never had this issue before in any version of photoshop.

Hi

What version of Photoshop are you using, a couple of things to try

Reset the Tools

Enable this option in preferences and restart Photoshop

Check that your GPU is compatible from the Help menu

A preference reset

If none of the above helps, try using the Adobe cleaner tool
