Affinty Desiger + Publisher are slow

[Pep75]

Dear Forum,

I really, really love the Affinity workflow but I still can't make the switch from Adobe. I really miss the pattern-make tool, warping in Designer and a trace function. But even when these functions are implemented there is one huge issue: S P E E D. When there are 'some' objects on the canvas Designer (and Photo and Publisher) becomes s   l   o   w. For instance, if I want to change the stroke width on one object it's fast, snappy and responsive, but when there are several objects (really non-complex) stroke adjustment becomes very very laggy (pretty annoying). This is such a pity!!! If this can be solved I'm over!
I'm working on a i7-8700k 3,7ghz, all ssd's and a GTX 1080 videocard. I also work with a Wacom Intuos Pro 2, but mouse movement shows the same sluggishness...:(
I'm I the only one who's having this problem???

Hi Pep75,

Welcome to the forums

Please could you try going to edit > preferences and under performance try changing the renderer drop down to see if any of the options give you better performance.

Thanks

Hi Callum,

Thanks for your reply...Yes tried that, but it remains choppy and slow :(. Installed the newest drivers etc etc...but nothings seems to help. When document are getting a 'bit' complex it just slows down everything. Sliders and input fields (like size) are soooooo choppy and slow!!! Changed resolution etc etc....nothing works.
