In GPU mode it's like the Hypershade preview doesn't progressively refine itself. It seems like it stops after just a few samples.

Anyone know if I'm missing something?

As far as i know there is no way to change this, as the material viewer in the hypershade is not connected to the render settings it's simply a preview.

I never use it though i prefer to use the viewport arnold view as this is connected to the render settings.

Hopefully someone that uses it might be able to help more
