Hello, I have been observing for some time that Affinity is already getting performance drops with a few open files.

I have a 12 core AMD CPU of the new generation and 64GB of RAM which still don't seem to be enough.

At the moment I can only have 7 RAW files open and edit at the same time.

This is for product photos that can be next to each other in the strip, but it is necessary that I can adjust them at the same time in the attributes.

The size of the project files is also astronomical compared to Photoshop.

It seems to be a general thing and nothing version specific.

Do I have to make any settings to optimize it?

Hi @SKE,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums :)

Developing RAW files is a rather intensive process that requires more resources than you might think, usually we recommend maxing out around 3-5 RAW files at once however we can certainly look into this for you.

Can you please navigate to Edit > Preferences > Performance and provide a screenshot of your settings here for me please?

Many thanks in advance!

Many thanks for the screenshot provided!

Please try changing the following settings:

RAM Usage Limit - 64512MB

View Quality - Nearest Neighbour

Retina Rendering Low Quality (fastest)

Hardware Acceleration - Disable this option

Restart the Affinity app as prompted after changing these settings, then try loading/developing your RAW files once again. Does this provide any better performance please? :)
