Can't access Drawing Mode in Performance settings

I'm having a lot of crashes that seem to be GPU related. Some of the troubleshooting documentation calls for changing the Drawing Mode in the Performance preferences tab (under Advanced Settings), however I don't have that option in my PS.

I'm running Win10 10.019041
Nvidia RTX 2060 - latest drivers
Photoshop 22.1.0

I'm going by this page (posted in my last comment) https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html


Anyway, thanks for trying to help.  I guess the Draw feature was removed.


Hi! update to Photoshop 22.1.1 as it fixes the "drawing modes unavailable" problem:  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/fixed-issues.html

If the update does not appear in the CC app, go to help>check for updates.

Hi JJMack,
The RTX 2060 is only a couple of years old - I doubt it's causing the issue.

Is it a issue you are seeing or are you seeing a changed preferences interface where there is no Advances GPU drawing  mode option. Adobe Changed GPU support in Photoshop 2021.
