Performance is terrible but resources aren't spiking.


Recommended Posts

I'm running affinity photo on Windows and I'm having serious performance issues with a certain edit.

However, if I check the task monitor, nothing is really spiking. There's more than enough resources available while I'm waiting for my picture to render the change I just attempted to make. CPU is working, but not even half its available power. Memory is used but there's still more than enough available. It's not even reaching the limit I set in the Affinity Photo performance settings. The GPU is hardly working (hw acceleration is on). VRAM is at about 80%. Even the disk isn't really used.

What's the use of having all those resources if Affinity won't use them anyway??

It might help if you mentioned what kind of edit the "certain edit" was, & what specifically you mean by serious performance issues, like with everything or just this kind of edit.

Sorry, everything. Everything I do on it is slooow. It's fairly big with quite a few of nested layers, overlays, live filters, adjustment layers and all that so I don't think it's weird that it's slow. I just think it's weird that it's slow while it's not even using all my resources.

latest version btw..  1.10.1

Have you tried with it off?

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
