Is this typical performance?


Recommended Posts

See a lot of performance problems with 1.9.3. Considering Apple M1 for better performance. Results there are no better. My benchmark results attached. Is this typical?

3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

8 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Radeon Pro 555 2 GB

OS 11.4

You could look through the Benchmark 1900 listings and compare yours:

Unfortunately this score can't really be used to compare to your system, as it has 4 more physical CPU cores (and therefore 8 more threads), with 8x the amount of RAM your system has and therefore the scores are bound to be higher.

The closest I can find in the thread is the following post -

This user has a similar CPU and double the RAM, but as can be seen their results are much more similar to yours, besides the 'Combined' Raster score.

I'd like to see if we can do anything to improve your score - could you please navigate to Affinity Photo > Preferences > Performance and provide a screenshot of your settings here for me?

Many thanks in advance :)

Thanks Dan C for your interest: Screen shot attached. This situation has been deteriorating  for some time. Each IOS 'upgrade" has made it worse. I don't think I have changed preferences from initial installation. Loading AP can take 30sec (OK) to several minutes (not OK).

 

 

Hope you can help.

I can confirm this is a known issue that isn't specific to your system or caused by your hardware - there is a current bug within Big Sur that causes the Affinity app to be fully 'scanned' by macOS each time the Affinity apps are launched between shutdowns. This 'scan' can take a short while and the Affinity app will not finish opening until after this is finished, which is the delay you're seeing.

We're working closely with Apple to try and get this resolved, however we have no timescale for a resolution currently, my apologies.

In regards to your preferences settings, I recommend the following:

View Quality, set to Nearest Neighbour

Retina Rendering, set to Low Quality (fastest)

Hardware Acceleration, try turning this option off - you should be prompted to restart the Affinity app.

After restarting, try testing/using the Affinity app as you normally would - does this provide better performance for you please? :)

Thanks again Dan 😄 

Much better. Not changing Retina Rendering gives best result without further loss in visual quality.

I assume print quality will be effected as well?

Much appreciated,
