degtrv Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Another thing I've just noticed. I'm not sure Affinity uses my Discrete Graphics, which I have. It used to be always ON in previous versions. Here's a screenshot of my settings, a heavy .afphoto file opened and my current Graphic Card in use according to my system.

Enabled Metal Compute Acceleration, restarted Photo but Discrete Graphics do not kick in. Although my Radeon card kicks in instantly when I start DaVinci Resolve.

Metal is ON, gfxCardStatus App shows that only Integrated card is being used. I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
