grzessnik Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hello, I have an old MacBookPro (model 2.1 4 GB RAM and Radeon X1600). It can run OS X 10.7.5 and I've installed both Affinity apps there. My idea was to install them instead Adobe CS6. Unfortunately, I can't work with them because they are incredibly slow. It takes very long to move the view even with empty file. Is there something I can do to make them workable? Thanks, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william7 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 That's weird, in my experience Affinity is very responsive, Have you tried running activity monitor to double check what is going on with your computer? It could be affinity but it may also be something else using your cpu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grzessnik Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 william7, thank you for your suggestion. I'll check it. I found it weird too because on my MacPro Affinity is incredibly fast (much more than Adobe). Two weeks ago I made banner 50 x 3 meters and it was very liberating experience to work without lags. Unfortunately I was forced to install Adobe CS6 on my MBP and it works much better/faster than Affinity. I suppose that GPU can be problem but maybe someone can confirm that.

Fixx Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Someone with core2 processor and 4 GB RAM might want to clarify if this performance problem is normal for that old mac or if there is really something wrong. It might be either, so far no one has reported to have that level of hardware yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
