Randomly appearing display glitches - areas of a layer (or layers) removed at random

[adamc6072392]

PS version 22.3.1

GPU GTX 1660 Super -  all drivers up to date

dual screen setup

Machine is a brand new build about a week old

With apparently no warning, I get these kind of hard imprints appearing on layers, either as a negative 'stamp' of a brush or other part of the canvas.  They seem to appear completely at random and become imbedded in a layer or layers, so if I turn off preserve transparency I can paint over them. They still remain when closing and reopneing the file/photoshop or full restart.

The second image below is a photo dragged in from another folder and sort of caused the corruption of the entire file, leading to multiple ruined layers, seen in the last image. Dragging in any other photo at this point caused the same problem seen in the second image here. But, when I restarted photoshop, I could drag in photos without any issue (but still leaving the initial imprints imbedded in the layers, like in image 3).

This has happened to multiple files now, although yesterday it happened once with only a minor affect, then didn't happen for the rest of the day. My first thought was to turn off  Use GPU, but I don't even know when or if the problem will occur during a session.

There's absolutely no issue i'm aware of in other software, like Blender and no problem with game displays or generally within windows. Could be a GPU problem specifically with Photoshop? Any help here with potential problems or tests I could do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Use Photoshop 2020 that version 21 of Photoshop version 21.2.7 is the current version of Photoshop 2020.

Thanks for the help!

[adamc6072392]

Almost 2 weeks since using 2020 with no problems and i've now got the same issue in this version (21.2.7). Resetting PS clears things up, but still left with the shapes imbedded in layers. The only thing that's possibly different in this sceanrio I can think of,  is that I had spotify and youtube accidentally playing at the same time - seems odd, but could that have caused some sort of conflict? Going to at least try to replicate it.

[adamc6072392]

nb. this time the problem didn't occur out of nowhere. Instead I noticed a brush behaving oddly and not being able to correctly colour pick the layer I was on. Opened a new file to test out the brush and the new file opened already corrupted. went back to the previous file and that had been messed up.

[adamc6072392]

A quick search here and google and I have found out that Spotify has hardware acceleration enabled automatically, so switched it off. Maybe that causes some kind of conflict? There doesn't seem to be too much info out there specific to this problem, but thats my best guess right now.

[adamc6072392]

Dragging some references into a file today and the same issue occured. Spotify not open this time, but did have one video paused on Amazon. Dragging multiple files in and obviously its some display issue within photoshop, but still have no clue besides maybe being a conflict with hardware acceleration on either a webpage or spotify? I just don't get why it occurs so randomly and that I can't replicate the issue. 

I've tried searching for similar display issues, but can't find anything close to what i'm experiencing, though maybe related to Nvidia drivers? Maybe trying studio, rather than game drivers might solve this?

Here is the system info in case anyone can help with this, thanks.

Hi

I would :

1. Use Studio drivers - I use Studio driver 461.92 here with no issues on a 2080ti

When you install the driver use advanced options and choose clean install. That should overwrite any remnants of the old driver. I do not install any of the GeForce experience "extras", just the drivers.

2. Try Photoshop version 22.4. The issues with GPU recognition in v22.3.1 have been fixed. Also 22.4 uses different GPU routines - it has moved to Direct X rather than Open GL

As a side note - one of your screenshots appears to show Photoshop 3D. I would not bother, it has been buggy for a long time now. Use a proper 3D app and bring the renders back to Photoshop for compositing.

Thanks Dave, I will give that a shot.

One thing I just read about briefly was Open CL and Memorybanks. This is all wayyy outside my understanding and could well be unrelated/off base, but I did have Libre Office open, which has Open CL enabled, along with Photoshop. Maybe there's some 'bank conflict' here.

No Photoshop 3D used btw, so all good there.

Thought everything was going smoothly with the clean studio drivers installed, until today, when the same issue occurred. I noticed that the ink dropper wasn't working correctly/ brush wasn't painting the right colour.  Minimising, then maximising PS and the 'imprint' appeared again.

File had multiple groups and around 40 layers. One 'imprint' affected the layer I was working on, shown in the image below. I checked all other layers and only one other was affected, leaving a different 'imprint' on the opposite side of the canvas. On my second screen I had about 5 images and 1 browser window/youtube open.

I am just updating to 22.4.1, but still worried about this persisting.

Like I mentioned in previous posts, there seems to be some kind of conflict going on, but cannot replicate the issue at all. It does happen infrequently, but not sure what that would indicate.

Would anyone know how I could go about testing what this issue even is?
