PSCC and NVIDIA GeForce drivers

ShadySue:
Since PS CC2015, I seem to be having a lot of problems with my Nvidia GeForce driver which seem to be related to Photoshop, even though I'm not always actively using PS when the problem happens (but PS and/or Bridge is nearly always open). I am upgrading my driver about twice a week, but the problems seem to change ...
Anyone else?
(Please don't waste your valuable time giving me technical instructions, I'm just trying to find out whether I need to get some other sort of graphics driver. I wouldn't actually be installing that myself.)
(I didn't have any of these problems before PS CC2015.)

Here's Adobe's troubleshooting page on drivers, maybe that will. It has some step-by-step tests.

Here it is in a nutshell but there are other troubleshooting links on that page.

You can quickly determine if the issue is related to your graphics processor or driver by following these steps:

    Launch Photoshop.
    Choose Edit > Preferences > Performance (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > Performance (Mac OS).
    Deselect "Use Graphics Processor."
    Quit and relaunch Photoshop.

If the problem goes away, your graphics processor or driver is likely the issue. See Graphics processor (GPU) troubleshooting for further troubleshooting steps.

Tx, I'll give that a try!

I'd wonder about the need to keep on updating drivers if you're not a game player, and if the system is working OK.


I'd check to see if the upgrades offer more overall performance, or anything else "essential" but otherwise I wouldn't let it keep updating


I used to and then it broke my system, so now I just update occasionally, or if I have a problem.

I have the same question.  All the NVIDIA upgrades that I've received seem to say they are for better game performance.  Since I don't do gaming, I've never allowed an update.  To date, so far as I know, everything still works just fine and there's no degradation in performance that I'm aware of.  Any reason I should allow an upgrade to my NVIDIA card?
