Ijust recently updated my Nvidia Drivers I have a EVGA Geforce RTX 2060 for a graphics card and Photoshop Beta has been constantly crashing since the update and I cannot seem to figure out whats causing the crashing. It was working perfectly fine before updating. I am not sure what is going on. Photoshop 2023 works perfectly fine but the Beta is not. All my other drivers are also up to date and Windows 10 just had a recent update as well.

Well after a couple of days Photoshop Beta started crashing again so today I rolled back the Nvidia driver to the driver that Photoshop was fine with. Seems like for some reason the Beta does not like the latest driver update and is unstable and has lots issues. Right before a crash would happen the blue bounding box when transforming images would turn grey then freeze and crash. Also a lot of the short cut keys stopped working which was really weird and the remove tool was kind of wonky. Photos

I do a removal with DDU everytime there is a new update and do a fresh clean install for graphics drivers.. It seems to crash in the middle of using transform while resizing images. I can try disabling the GPU in the preferences see if that does anything. Ive also thought about jist uninstalling and reinstalling the beta as well maybe that will fix it as well. Ill try your suggestions and will get back if they helped solve it!

As a returning feature for BabelTechReviews, this driver performance analysis will showcase the performance of 39 PC games including Battlefield V and Just Cause 4 using the latest GeForce Game Ready 417.71 Driver which released three days ago. We will compare these drivers versus the 417.54 (RTX 2060 launch) drivers from two weeks ago and with 417.01 from last month using the Turing RTX 2070 Founders Edition and also the Pascal EVGA GTX 1060 SC.

We will document the performance changes of the current GeForce 417.71 driver versus the older drivers on Windows 10 at 19201080 and at 25601440 resolutions. Our testing platform is a recent install of Windows 10 64-bit Home Edition, and we are using a Core i7-8700K which turbos all 6 cores to 4.7 GHz, an EVGA Z370 FTW motherboard, and 16GB of HyperX DDR4 3333MHz. The games tested, settings, and hardware are identical except for the drivers being compared.

This latest GeForce Game Ready 417.71 driver introduces public support for the new GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card and for G-SYNC compatible displays. NVIDIA at CES 2019, announced support for G-SYNC compatible monitors to enable variable refresh rate (VRR) support on Pascal and Turing graphics cards and notebooks.

Most results show average framerates and higher is better. Minimum framerates are next to the averages in italics and in a slightly smaller font. A few games benched with OCAT show average framerates but the minimums are expressed by the 99th percentile frametimes in ms where lower numbers are better.

We note mostly incremental performance changes between the latest drivers and the older sets with both cards, and the increases are generally as minor as the regressions. However, in a few cases we see some small performance increases with the newest drivers and some continued incremental improvements for Turing as well as Pascal.

We would recommend upgrading to the latest Game Ready 417.71 WHQL driver from any older driver set because there are generally stability or performance advantages for the newest games, depending on which game you are playing. We found the latest drivers to be very stable overall, and we experienced no major performance issues while benching or playing any of our 39 games.

We just received a Logitech G Pro headset from Logitech for review, and by coincidence we are also getting an EVGA NU Audio card for review next week. You can expect reviews of both of these exciting products shortly.
