Hopefully, you are already well aware of the following, but in case you are not ...

CS6 came out in 2012, whereas the nVidia GTX 970 just came out last fall, so my first suspicion is that your older version of PS isn't compatible with a recently introduced card. The incompatibility may only show up when using certain PS tools.

There are a couple of ways you can proceed. For example, to check if backwards compatibility with an older version of PS truly is the issue, just pay $10 or $20 for a single month subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, (or maybe even a trial download would work), download and install the latest version of PS, and see if the problem goes away. If it does, you've pretty much answered the question.

Another way to proceed is to read through: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq1.html , and work through the section titled, "Quick GPU Troubleshooting Tips". Notice that the 2nd thing they recommend is to update to the latest version of PS. ;-)

HTH,

[QUOTE="Tom Mann, post: 1533704507, member: 74903"] Hopefully, you are already well aware of the following, but in case you are not ...
