That's banding. Banding is caused by insufficient bit depth.

 

If you're working in 16 bits in Photoshop, any banding you see is in your display system, which operates at 8 bit depth (unless you have an expensive 10-bit capable monitor). A defective monitor profile, calibration tables in the graphics card, a bug in the GPU driver, or a defective display panel.

 

Banding is cumulative, so any of these may add on top of each other.
