I can't reproduce this. Tried updating your graphics driver?

As rendered mode is working, only material preview isn't working this indicated that there might be an support issue. The problem is that this might only be fixable by a developer who can reproduce this issue and has GPU experience...

Can you provide us with the detail information and logs:
eg

  • does it work when you start blender using the blender_debug_gpu_glitchworkaround.cmd
  • can you upload the created files into this issue

Thanks

Normally official NVIDIA drivers report a version number. I don't see any version number, what version of the drivers have you installed?

You're driver is from 2016. Please update it to a newer version.

@Jeroen-Bakker Not sure if you misread what graphics card I have. It's a GeForce 260M. There isn't a newer version. There hasn't been another official driver for this card since 2016, even according to NVIDIA's own website.

Sorry, was worth to try. According our requirements your gpu isn’t supported. Any effort is based on community effort and not considered a bug.

You can always try to use a previous version.
