After an update of my Nvidia graphics drivers on Windows GPU acceleration on ACR started to produce strange looking tiles. It turns out all Nvidia drivers after 368.xx are incompatible. I had not updated my driver in a while, but it became incompatible with recent updates to Windows 10. The situation is unfortunate because this has been going on since July with many updates to Nvidia drivers and a few to ACR.
Solutions:
1. Disable GPU acceleration.
2. Roll back the driver.
I am surprised this has not been solved in 4 months considering how many people this must effect. Perhaps GPU acceleration is not the moon and the stars.

Thank you for the heads up.
I have not had any issues,,,

I haven't had issues on the use of GPU on my new computer (purchased this summer). I do recall that with my old computer the ACR in PS CC 2015 crashed a couple of times and reported that the GPU use has been turned off due to a problem. However, it only happened a couple of times and those were some time ago (in 2015). I assume the problem was corrected somewhere (either in the driver, or in PS, or both).
I don't think the problem is with GPU computation per se, but simply the implementation. GPUs are becoming increasingly important in scientific computing.

I do see strange tiles occasionally when using the clone and heal tool. Win 10. Workaround is to reset clone and redo the work in a slightly different manor.

I have no problem with my on-chip GPU of Core i5 (Skylake).
My friend also uses an NVIDIA video card and experienced the same problem. He says that LR works faster after disabling the acceleration.
