This is actually a fairly common problem with a pretty easy fix...
Photoshop relies on your display driver, in your case supplied by nVidia to go with your nVidia display card, to implement the OpenGL standard and provide GPU-accelerated display capabilities.
The fix is to visit the web site of the maker of your video card - in your case www.nVidia.com - and download/install the latest driver for your particular card and operating system.  In the lion's share of failures like this such a driver update solves the problem.
