pekranodon Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Despite having a reasonable beefy computer (some i7 CPU with 8 cores, 16G of RAM and an AMD Vega 64), Designer is lagging terrible when moving stuff around, creating new vector shapes or reordering things. I recorded a little video to depict my problem: I'm not sure what could go wrong, there is no other applications or background tasks running and the CPU as well as the graphics card are a bit bored (see the CPU load graph in the video). I wonder what might cause this, how I can work around it and if I can't, what component might be responsible/needs an upgrade to get rid of this. I tried resetting everything to stock settings already and double checked that Designer is using the right graphics device in the settings, however, no success. (I'm on Windows 7, fully updated OS and drivers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted November 22, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hi pekranodon, Do you get this on any document, or is just the one shown in the video? Could you try pressing Tab to hide the UI temporarily and see if that improves the situation for you please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Try changing your renderer in Preferences to WARP and see if that makes a difference (switch it back after, because WARP should be slower). Also try a re-install of your graphics card drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pekranodon Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 The graphics drivers are up to date, that should not be a problem. I did some more testing on this. I observed, that the issues come up after some time, and are usually not present right after start. Could it be related to some garbage collection thing? Or maybe I keep too many undo steps?

mediumcheese Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I have this same issue on Windows 10. i5 6600k, GTX 1070, 16GB ram, SSD. Dual monitor setup (one 60Hz 1080p, one 144Hz 1440p). Nothing I do to change performance settings changes anything. Has continued to happen through many graphics driver updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pekranodon Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Maybe a short follow up to this. I changed my OS to Windows 10 (full reinstall, not upgrade). I installed Designer and the latest graphics drivers, the issue persists: I can work smoothly but after a while (not sure about the exact time here, I'd say in the order of an hour), everything starts to stutter. I tried to record this with my phone to not interfere with the performance (split on two videos for reasons of size and handling): - In the 1st video, I had a document open, I worked on it for a bit and it started to stutter. I then closed the "big" document, made a new one and moved a single rectangle around. As you can see, it's stuttering and far from smooth. - In the 2nd video right after, I closed the program as a whole and reopened it with a new empty doc. I did the same test, moving a single rectangle around. It's much much smoother. Any ideas?
