Affinity Designer performance


Recommended Posts

I have version 1.9.1.979, after I update the performance is very bad, I have to wait for each stroke of the pen to complete, from node to node it gets stuck, selecting each object is very time consuming.

There is a solution that is not to update windows to the latest version or the graphics card drivers, because before filing this complaint, perform all the steps.

Hi crisdivan,

Are you able to get a an example screen recording of the slowdown you're seeing? Is it reproducible on a new A4 document? Does the turning off snapping help? Does turning off OpenCL in Preferences > Performance help if that is already enabled?

Sean,

I've uploaded the file. For a description of what I was doing during the short period of data collected: I was moving the canvas and small selected group of items around. The test document only had about 5 shapes. Visually, there is latency in the cursor _after_ releasing the mouse button from moving for about 1-2 seconds. When just moving an object I've noticed is a shorter visual latency of 0.5-1s where it seems to "hop" before smoothing out.

Sean,

Thanks, I disabled G-Sync and it does improve the performance greatly (just by visual inspection). My monitor runs at 100hz. I still notice the ~0.5s latency of the object I'm moving "hopping" when initially moving, however the perf lag afterwards is gone w/ G-Sync disabled. The "hopping" behavior is minimal and only slightly distracting, I only mention it in case the devs want to optimize it.

Thanks for the update, glad to hear that has improved the behaviour for you. We've seen similar problems from a couple of other users, but frustratingly I don't currently have access to a G-Sync monitor myself to investigate.

Same problem here.
Very bad performanc especially while painting using large raster brushes in pixel persona. There is  a very big lag with each brush stroke. 

Can submit screen recording.
