JustOneQuestion Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 As I zoom or move a tool (brush, etc) over the screen there are blocks that appear. Sometimes the blocks are white, sometimes it has part of the image, and sometimes it's a pattern. I have set graphics accelerated GPU on, but no change after. While I use filters in 'Photo' I have no problem with the filter image - only after I return to Affinity Photo. I run an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super card and the onboard is Intel UHD Graphi c 630. I've already looked for updates on the GeForce driver side. It is seen on the image the white random blocks and another on the bottom having part of the image itself. There is no pattern to them.

i5963c Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I upgraded to 1.10.3 yesterday. HW acceleration is still OFF on my machine, due to some intermittent system freezes (no crashes, therefore, also no dump files). Today, I notice something similar when I zoom in & out on an image. A video recording is attached below: I never witnessed this before...

PeteMacca Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Hey @JustOneQuestion, glad it worked for you. You could see if any new graphics drivers are available for your GPU(s). If there are, uninstall the old one(s) with DDU first. It may allow you to use Hardware Acceleration, or it may not. Or just wait for the devs at Affinity to fix the HA thingy for those of us having problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution that PeteMacca stated worked well. Thanks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
