I've realized that PP barely not use my GPU. I've checked my laptop config, and turned on the turbo mode.
And despite this,there is GPU usage from PP.
And it is really slow in the following (simple) use case:
- one lens (gray levels)
- one object with a clip mask
- a background.
When painting on the clip mask, PP is freezing a couple of seconds between each key stroke.
I've a recent and decent laptop, 16Gb of mem (not huge but decent).
Do you have the same lack of GPU usage from PP ?
16 GB is just an average office machine. Laptops are also notoriously slow even if there specs match a desktop. This is really bad if the laptop has mechanical hard drives and on-board graphics cards.
I'm editing some images later today and will check the GPU use, I run an i9, 64GB RAM, an SSD, 8GB video card on a desktop.
I tested, the task manager will show GPU activity, but my NVidia panel does not. I get about 3 to 15%, depending on the task I perform. My system performs most tasks instantaneously, large file, in the 750+ MB range using effects may take a few seconds.
Strange. Here no GPU usage, little CPU usage (10%), a few disk accesses (SSD), though extremely slow as soon as I paint on a clipmask with lenses on top.
+-40" to execute a little paint stroke on a clip mask. Without being a racehorse my laptop is not that bad (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, 16Gb, SSD, a GeForce RTX 3070 graphic card).
Are there any settings to tweak in PP to increase those perfs ?
Here's your issue AMD Ryzen and only 16GB RAM. Depending on who made the laptop the mainboard BUSS may be poor quality. CorelDRAW has serious issues with some AMD systems.
Gosh... Is there a finer bug report/issue description of this problem. So I can check if I'm in that case ?
