AdamRatai Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I found newest beta much slower than previous. Working, still possible is very painfull and needs lot of patience. I didn't change anything lately, except instaling new beta, file isn't very complicated, computer was restarted. Working with last beta on same setup was flawless. There in no difference between rendering on GPU or WARP. Sadly I cannot give say more, but maybe I'm not the only one.If you have this problem, try to disable in Preferences/Performance/Hardware Acceleration, works for me!

Aammppaa Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I have found the Designer beta very slow this week. Perhaps it is something to do with my current project, which uses a large number of symbols. I have no other machine to compare with, and I can't load the beta project back into 1.8, so can't say with any certainty why the poor performance is happening. But there have been many occasions where simply typing a letter into a text frame takes 5 seconds or so to update the screen. I did look in Task Manager and Designer was only using 16% of my CPU, and there was memory to spare.

AdamRatai Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 After some time on WARP, althought still slow, I found it bit is better than on my GPU (1080ti). Not much better, and it was after fresh restart. @Aammppaa: yup, updating the screen is my main problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Just worked in the same file switching to WARP and found the performance significantly better than using my GFX 1660 as the renderer. Something seems very wrong!

Mark Ingram Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 WARP should never be faster than a GPU - it's a software rasteriser that we include only for people with severe hardware or driver problems. Can you try disabling hardware acceleration and seeing if that improves things when using your GPU? AdamRatai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted December 4, 2020 Staff Share Posted December 4, 2020 Just to add that I'm also using a 1080 (non-Ti) with the 457.30 Game Ready drivers and not seeing any kind of behaviour like this. 5 hours ago, Aammppaa said: Just worked in the same file switching to WARP and found the performance significantly better than using my GFX 1660 as the renderer.

AdamRatai Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 I can send my file to you, but in private message.It's nothing special, I think. And after few more hours working with WARP i agree it i sbetter than with GPU. not as fast as GPU + previous beta, but I can work on it. I will now once again turn on GPU to check.

Is your bad performance limited to this file, or does it affect new documents? If it is the latter then it won't be something in the file causing it.

AdamRatai Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 New document (2048x2048 with 30 object and some effects) works fine. I just COPIED via clipbboard all object from broken file to new one.It didn't copied my artboards, but new one is responsive, old is still broken, so it is something with a document. Cannot make more test today because I'm in the middle od deadline, but happily give your file in monday. For now I will work with WARP. New file is useless for me, because it lost artboards and slices (so maybe it is too much object at once on screen, or slices). Thank you for your response.

AdamRatai Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Oh, for one other test i enabled GPU but disabled OpenCL, and now it seems to work good. For now it seems like it fix it for me, i will report later after better testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted December 4, 2020 Staff Share Posted December 4, 2020 That's great - appreciate taking the time to check that for us! I've created a link to our internal Dropbox account where you can upload the file to when you get a chance.https://www.dropbox.com/request/IWr5hPwSXuVE7A6T76Hi We can take a look and investigate then! Thanks again. AdamRatai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamRatai Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Sent. It is always worth to work with developer ;). And I was warned to not use Beta in production, but there is no other way to use it, TBH. Sean P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamRatai Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Yes, maybe it is a bad wording. So how about "temporary fix" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The user marked their own report as "fixed" after switching off the feature. That's not what we class as a fix, as we need to investigate why it wasn't working as intended. affinityfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
