Change Program setting: from "Gsync Compatible" to "Fixed Refresh rate" in Nvidia Control Panel worked for me!

Thank you! Not exactly what helped me, but sent in the right direction 🙂 

In nvidia control panel - 3d managment - select photoshop.exe and set 'Prefered refresh rate' to 'Highest available'

I turned off the HDR in Win 11 display settings and it was gone

Here are some suggestions from Adobe for GPU issues.

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html

Also:

Does turning on »Deactivate Native Canvas« (Photoshop > Preferences > Technology Previews) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

And sometimes this helps:

Go to Preferences > Performance... and uncheck Multithreaded Compositing - and restart Photoshop.

Also try this:

Check your hardware acceleration settings and in particular turn off the Native Canvas.

Do that in Preferences>Technology Previews:

check the tickbox for 'Deactivate Native Canvas' and uncheck 'Enable Native Canvas ', then restart Photoshop

 

Next step would be to go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and enable "Older GPU mode (pre 2016)", then restart Photoshop

Next step would be to disable the GPU in Photoshop preferences, then restart Photoshop

 

consider updating your graphics driver

 

I hope this helps

Deactivating "Native Canvas" worked for me! You have saved me many future headaches as this was quite annoying to my eyes! Thank you!

It's got so we are suggesting Seactivate Native Canvas for anything remotely display related, even when thinking it can't possibly help with this, because it so often turns that it 'does' work.  The option was removed from the previous full release version, but we are pleased to see it is back again.

Hi, if your GPU does not have 1.5GB of VRAM, is it under the system requirements: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html

See also the GPU FAQ: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cc-gpu-card-faq.html I'm afraid that your GPU is not powerful enough.

You could try to disable the GPU acceleration in preferences ( CTRL+K then go to the  Performance)

Looks like a graphics driver issue,  turn off your GPU.
