We analyze the cycles in the possible intermediate polar V795 Her, the optical counterpart of 2RXP J171256.0+333121, using the photometric V band CCD observations obtained within 5 days in 2008. We find that the times of the minimum intensity of the known cycle of ~2.8028 hours are more stable than those of the peak intensity. We show that while the smoothed profile of the folded intensity curve is single-peaked, the profile of its residuals is double-peaked. We resolve the variations of the superimposed cycle of ~0.01 d during a single night; this cycle is thus not caused by spin modulation of the white dwarf. We discuss our observations in terms of superhumps.
