    I suspect Avast is the culprit here... gives me a ton of slowdowns lately.

    I got 100mbps fiber connection, and generally affinity servers are quite fast, I mean I didn't noticed when it even downloaded the app, after realizing it was idle it didn't downloaded anything. As for the system it was idle most of the time of updating. I was wondering if the update was crashed after a couple of min (so far all the setups of affinity take like less than a minute) and checked the task manager. Barely some cpu usage, and some SSD usage here and there but from other unrelated processes. It took like 10 minutes or less for something that is a 1 min job so far. Maybe it was some bug? Anyway it worked and it is nice to be able to update through the app, it just took it's sweet time with no good reason, so maybe there is something broken somewhere.

    Thank you for the update. Although the updating is extremely slow and task manager barely show any activity. (not even download)
  4. nitro912gr
    Thanks I don't RTFM

    Hello! Is there a way to select -> select same fill or anything but contain it in the current artboard? I try to work with this but it always go and select everything in every artboard. Thanks
  6. nitro912gr
    what you mean? you had a hackintosh?
  7. nitro912gr
    Still present on v2

    the are a couple of answers above that confirm via testing that openCL in AMD GPUs it can be turned on but it performs worst than just working with the CPU alone. I only upgraded designer that is my bread and butter so I can't confirm myself through the benchmark but I think the above answers are enough to prove that this is still not working. Also I see other app vendors are moving away from openCL altogether for AMD GPGPU (I think someone also mentioned it here somewhere?) so there is indeed a problem with AMD and not affinity.
  9. nitro912gr
    didn't we just confirmed that is still have the same problem like in v1 and it just have the option to turn it on? how is this a selling point for v2 if it is still not working

    those indeed seem interesting GPUs, not so much for gaming yet (drivers need a lot more love for something that demanding) but I have my eyes on them for my workstation for some time now. I just wait to see them in my local market in normal prices, because now they are unofficial imports with 3-4 times the MSRP.

    from windows 10 and above you can check this on task manager
  12. nitro912gr
    The best part is they worked just fine from 1 to 2

    Just updated to designer 2, 5500XT 4GB is working with GPGPU acceleration again.
  14. nitro912gr
    but the functionality is there, I just made 2 text boxes with text flow in publisher and copy/pasted to designer and they work in tandem. Are we sure we don't miss something here? Something in the menu or something?

    zen 4 and AM5 is not flying of the selfs because it cost as much as a whole PC to just get CPU+MOBO right now. It is funny that they are not outsold by intel but the AM4 offerings.

    uninstalling that windows update fixed this for me too. I have paused the updates for 7 days and I hope MS fix this in the meantime. So frustrating.
  17. nitro912gr
    thank you both, if you have any other way to do this without needing to select everything inside, it would be a life saver for me. Or if there is a way to "select all" withing the object.
  18. nitro912gr
    1. to make a clipping mask. and cut anything outside the first object by moving anything else inside/below it. 2. As I said I tried that and instead of releasing the objects from being nested below the rectangle, it just move the rectangle outside the artboard. Notice, outside the artboard in the layers menu, not in the screen. I made a video but it doesn't show the menu when I right click the layer, so when you see the mouse moving to the character panel, is when I do the "release" with right click on the curve. Affinity Designer 2022-09-29 13-51-30_Trim.mp4 edit: didn't see what @N.P.M. posted, I was selecting the object not what it's inside it. Good to know but I'm actually looking for something that doesn't need to select everything inside because sometimes I have those stupid graphics with hundreds little pieces and the list is huge to go select them all
  19. nitro912gr
    What do you mean? Even in a document without artboard the "release" on the layer is not even available and as of that still not working.
  20. nitro912gr
    Hello thanks for your reply but this is just moving the "curve" outside the artboard.
  21. nitro912gr
    Hello I use a lot of rectangles to contain many objects and/or texts, but some times I need them all out of th rectangle but are too many and I get lost in the layers panel where I usually select everything in the rectangle and pull it outside of it. Is there an easier way to do that? Like for example when I do the same in illustrator with a clipping mask I can release clipping mask. Thank you!

    So I did some back and forth and more testing with more files, used some variety to all vectors, some vectors some rasters and files that had all but the fonts as raster. To my surprise there is no longer any visible performance hit by not having GPU acceleration enabled anymore. Whatever was the reason of the lag I experienced the first time I started looking on why my GPU is not supported, is just not there anymore. Maybe some other bug? Some windows update? Some drivers update else where in the system? Honestly I can't tell. So to conclude, I think I was somewhat misled to what performance impact this had on my systems and my workflow and never tested again to verify, just stopped using the system that could not have the acceleration on. I'm sorry for adding more posts in an issue that, at least on my side, is not really an issue. Although it raise the question on what was the big deal with acceleration anyway, but I don't care as long as things work fast and efficient. As a side note the systems I work on:

    ok tell me now that I was based on a single event that happened with a single file and all this time I wasn't using affinity at home at all, and I'm going to do some seppuku or something because with that in mind I left the comfort of my home many times to go to the office "waiting for a fix in openCL"
  24. nitro912gr
    I dont know if benchmarking photo will help because I don't use it that match to notice any lag in my workflow. But since I literally used file A at office and then open it again in home to continue and it felt unbearable. But that was back in March and if I remember correctly I mostly had trouble in documents with lot of text, it was some restaurant menu I think. Does the font rendering go through GPU? Because I just opened a complex vector file with the bare minimum of text and it was fine now.
  25. nitro912gr
    this can't be truth, I have noticed considerable lag in vector and fonts affinity designer files I work in similar systems in office and home, the only difference is the home one have the 5500XT and as of that work without GPU acceleration. Aside that the one in office a bit tad slower in CPU and the SSD, while a bit faster in RAM speed (2400 in home, 2666 in office).
