Anyone else have performance issues with Lightroom?

[Braineack]

I was happy when I first upgraded to 4K, but im noticing a performance hit in LR where images seem to take forever to load and render.

take a look at this video of me simply scrolling through my library at 1080p vs 2160p:

and another example of the incredible lag I see when using the adjustments brush:

Good thing you have "with Lightroom" in the title, or you'd get more replies than you could handle!

On board video card or separate video card?

When is the last time you did a complete maintenance of your computer? Virus scan, malware scan, disk scan, defrag HD and restart of windows.

R9 390.
500gb ssd
FX 8320
32gb ram
Win10

Everything was freshly installed maybe 6 months ago


No viruses, no malware, started really noticing sluggishness randomly maybe 2 weeks ago.

Where is your scratch file? I am assuming that you have a second hard drive besides the ssd.

 

[Braineack]

yes, i have 4 other HDDs. I'll have to double check how i set that up.

I installed an update over the weekend that supposedly 'fixed' bugs. Mine is running quite smoothly, but I don't use 4K (only HD). Is your program up to date?

 

[smoke665]

Have you done any updates to software (including Windows 10)? I've had some issues with 10 and security software.

 

[Braineack]

No I haven't updated LR since the 6.1 update. I'll look into that.

Dont remember installing/updating anything in win10.

I did have performance issues until I updated to the latest version and most of my performance issues disappear. I can scroll through photos in the develop module just as fast as the library module now. Apparently there was some kind of memory issue with the previous version that was causing a lot of the performance issues. Seems to be okay now. Also for some strange reason, export seems to be faster.

The biggest performance booster for me was moving the catalog to my SSD. That made an incredible difference.

My LR develop mode isn't performing at all

Cause: Due to an admin mix up I was getting CC, LR & PS for free for the past two years.
Effect: There was none until adobe rumbled me.
Solution: Pay for the service.

After thought: I was thinking if you had gotten iMac with the older processor it wasn't able to run the newest CC properly but then I saw that you have windows so basically you can ignore my thought train..

Try dual graphic cards. If still performance lags, get triple graphic cards. Or, go spend more money and get quad graphic cards.

Well heck...why not octuple graphic cards?

My GPU was already $400; thanks. and it's equipped with a gpu clock that can handle most anything right now and has more vRAM than any game/application can even utilize (8GB).

the new Pro Duo does look pretty cool, but it's also $1,500 and I shouldn't need that much GPU to look at a static set of pixels.

ill look into updating. my catalog is not on my SDD (i have a 2TB 7200rpm drive devoted to pictures). I experimented with it, and didnt notice a difference. but maybe ill test it out again and if i do the update.


you're on 6.5? im still on 6.1.
