Frozen Death Knight Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Well, unless you can somehow show people what exactly the problem is, it is hard to help you. Are you able to record a video of the slowdowns? Which effects and filters are giving you trouble? Is there a way for others to replicate the issue as well to confirm the issue of slowdowns?

Staff DWright Posted August 24, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hi @shadstarn, Can you also check that you have the latest Nvidia drivers installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mc Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I can also report that the latest beta has some performance issues. It is hard to pinpoint. I have an identical spec PC to @shadstarn When I add a live denoise and one or two other adjustment layers I sometimes (but not always) end up with the fans spinning up and a very slow response. I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed, but this sounds like a CPU issue. The previous release build was fine for this workflow. I had the good intentions of reporting a bug but I found it impossible to create a file that guaranteed it being reproduced. I should say that my workflow is normally Panasonic Lumix Raw (*.RW2) conversion, denoise and usually curves adjustments with occasional sharpening outside of the RAW development. I often do a 1:1 and also a smaller export to JPG as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
