Shapes in Illustrator don't fill to the edges

I am having trouble in 2018CC Illustrator where I draw a shape with the pen tool and then when i zoom in really close, the colour doesn't fill to the edge.

I've attached a couple of photos so you can see what I mean.

The blue line is the pen tool's shape I have drawn, and the black edge is the fill colour - the white gap in between isn't supposed to be there.

Any help would be much appreciated.

No, you're not missing something.

That's it. It's about how accurate a screen preview can be.

In the case of GPU it's about sacrificing accuracy for speed.

You don't have any effects aplied?

Brushes?

Variable width strokes?

You're zoomed in very close and you are on GPU preview.

Switch to CPU preview.

Hey thanks for these. these are great, the CPU preview helps but it still does it a bit. Am i missing something else?

it's only when mega zoomed in
