Screen flickering but I still want to use Scrubby zoom

Question

Hello!

I switched from Mac to PC and I'm figuring things out. My screen keeps flashing when I use things like the Patch tool or change the brush size with Alt + Right click and drag. The only work around I've found is unchecking Use Graphics Processor. However, when I do this, the screen stops flickering BUT I can no longer use scrubby zoom

Help!

First, try disabling GPU in the preferences (Preformance tab). Any better?
If not, go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and check "Disable Native Canvas" - then restart Photoshop. Better?
If not, recalibrate and build a new ICC display profile, the old one might be corrupted.
If you are using software/hardware for this task, be sure the software is set to build a matrix not LUT profile, Version 2 not Version 4 profile.
If turning OFF GPU works, it's a GPU bug and you need to contact the manufacturer or find out if there's an updated driver for it.
