Photoshop 25.3 slow to start-up with latest Nvidia drivers.

I have a Nvidia  RTX4070 and just installed drivers 546.33 and am now finding that Adobe Photoshop 25.3.1 is slow to start-up pausing on reading brushes for approx 20 seconds before continuing to load. However if I roll back to drivers 537.58 the problem goes away and Photoshop once again starts up ok with no pause. I have also tried 546.01 and they also give me the same pause so appears to be something that has been introduced with the newer drivers after 537.58. Has anyone else encountered any similar issues with the newer drivers?

    No issues here with the same drivers and RTX3090. GPU acceleration is enabled.

    I wonder if it is a particular brush?

    With a fresh install of Windows 10 and Photoshop 2024 I had the exact same behaviour (pausing during startup) with the latest drivers. However with more testing I have pinned the issue down to g-sync settings. If I have it set to enabled for windowed and full screen mode I get the pause but if its set to enable for full screen mode everything starts up as it should with no issues.


    I just checked your comments against my system and can confirm - switching to gsync only for full screen IMMEDIATELY resolved the issue. Weird.

    @g1dtf I have version 546.33 installed with an RTX 3090 and not having any issues with Photoshop loading, do you use the Game Ready or Studio driver, Adobe recommends the Studio version, I also don't install the GeForce Experience

    I used the Studio drivers and like you omitted Geforce Experience. Can I also assume that you have GPU accelleration (use graphics processor) enabled in Photoshop?
