The UI is garbled and showing screen tearing / flickering

After launching the software, the UI displays graphical glitches, but the buttons can be clicked and respond correctly.Updating the graphics driver, reinstalling the software, and closing unrelated startup programs have all been attempted, yet the issue remains unresolved.

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, Version 10.0.19045
Graphics Hardware: NVIDIA RTX A5000 Professional Graphics Card
Graphics Driver: NVIDIA RTX Enterprise Driver, Version 595.97, Driver Release Date: Tuesday, March 24, 2026

Hello @cgguamian007 and welcome to the community!

Thank you for the report, I’ll report this internally and we will try to reproduce and fix it. Does this happen all the time, or just in same cases?

Can you try to turn off the “Threaded optimization” setting in the NVIDIA control panel and report back if anything changed?

Other than that what you could try is reinstall the MSVC redistributables and try older driver version.

Here is a short article about how to reinstall the redistributables:

I suspect this is a driver + GPU + MAT interplay issue though. Anyway, we’ll try to fix this.

Thank you for the detailed report again!

Hi @cgguamian007,

I’m also a workstation GPU user and have commented here about the same issue. They have told me they are looking into it. I have a Nvidia RTX 4000 Ada Lovelace Generation, which is for workstations as yours is. I would suggest you to try the older 582.41 driver. Obviously I cannot guarantee. That solved the UI distortion for me.

A different problem is performance, for example working with the Element Graph. In my case the interface sliders start to stutter and become slow after a a while. Would be nice to hear how it is for you.

From what I have read, performance issues can come from workstation drivers being more conservative. They prioritize stability, ECC memory, certified CAD/DCC pipelines and predictable performance, but not aggressive real-time optimizations that GeForce drivers use for creative apps.

Hopefully there will be made optimisations for that in a near future, :crossed_fingers:

Good luck
