Basti Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hello Affinity Team, I am running a Windows 10 Computer with a Core i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM. Usually not having issues with performance, but Affinity eats a huge amount of RAM and Performance, oftern making me wait. I've seen a lot of people in the forum having the same issue. So improvement in this area is crucial! Having to wait a couple of minutes to switch a persona is not acceptable. I often need to kill the affinity process and reload the file to be able to continue to work without tone mapping or other sophisticated functions. Kind regards Sebastian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatih19 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Can you list your processor and RAM specs in more details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The performance problem mostly not depends on the CPU / RAM itself, but on the GPU, its drivers, and other OS components.

verysame Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 So, another useless thread pretending to help but in the end actually helpless. First off, GPU has nothing to do with Affinity products. Whoever spends time on this forum *should* know that. Second off, asking for specs only to compare to what one is using is a little naive, there's no real comparison that can be made here. Each configuration will behave differently and to date, there's no proof of what will perform better. Lastly, Affinity's performance has been a plague and this won't be fixed in a short time period. Tests have been made with different configurations, from win7x64 to win10, from Intel to AMD, (again, GPU is irrelevant), with no clue about what can be the cause of the bad performance. Not to mention, the different type of use one does of Affinity Photo: basic editing based on HD image size? heavy editing on 4k to 8k? Live filters yes/no? It's a hard nut to crack. Personally, I'm not optimistic at all, considered the other things Serif is focusing on. So, again, threads like this are pretty much useless. When a user posts this type of question, the most logical answer would be "We don't know". Unless, all of a sudden, a developer finally untangle it. Edit: @Basti Either use the software as is, which in your case as in mine is far from being perfect or don't use it at all (I don't use it anymore). It's clear this situation won't get better anytime soon, the devs have other priorities on their plate, so don't hold your breath. As you already noticed, this is not a new issue and is not related to a few users. Good luck.
