[Super laggy with slow downs.]

Hi @j0hnj0hns,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums and I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble!

From your screenshot, I can see the application is detecting both your Nvidia dedicated GPU and your AMD integrated GPU (which is part of your CPU, aka an 'APU') and this is likely causing 'crossed wires' which is slowing the application. I'll be sure to pass your specs through to our QA/dev team, to see if this can be improved for similar machines in the future.

To resolve this issue for you now, can you please try unticking Hardware Acceleration for me, then restart the app as prompted and try zooming/selecting text once again - does this respond better for you please?

Edit - Can you also please confirm the driver version you're using for your 1650ti for me? Many thanks!

Well look at that! I think you might be a bit of champion Dan C! I turned off hardware acceleration and so far things seem OK. I'll keep an eye on things as the day goes on.

My Nvidia driver version is 457.63. It's hassling me to upgrade to the latest and greatest at the moment but I got trust issues with Nvidia and AMD so I'll wait a bit.

Thanks for the help.

I'm in the same boat zayca and Dan C. I've just started using Designer and I'm having some big lag issues too.

I even reformatted my laptop in case I had some weird stuff happening but no good. It just lags bad on text and selecting from one thing to another. One example is when I zoom out I have to press the shortcut keys 3-4 times until it finally activates. I have minimal fonts installed as I've just refreshed the laptop.

I'm wondering if it just doesn't like working from an original AI file or is my laptop just not gutsy enough.
