I have a greyscale image. It is a pencil sketch. I want to clean some stuff up. I click the eraser tool. Adjust the size. Click and drag. 10 seconds later the erase happens. This is a seriously bad lag. I am using a Logitech mouse. Firmware is up to date. Running Windows 10. Computer has a Geoforce RTX 3060 graphics card. Intel i7 13th gen cpu. 32 gigs of RAM. I am sure my computer has enough horsepower to run the eraser tool on a 200 dpi greyscale image. Not sure what is causing the lag. It also happens when using the brush tool.
Is this a laptop?
Desktop PC.
Interesting, I've seen this in the past when Iwas using the gaming driver for my Nvidia card.
What video card are you using?
GPU:
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Nvidia Studio Driver v531.41
"Use GPU To Accelerate Upsampling" is "On" for both Photo-PAINT 2023 and DRAW 2023
Workstation:
Intel i7-8700K CPU @ 3.700GHz
32 GB RAM
The GTX 1050 Ti uses 4GB of VRAM.
I'm running twice that, I have background tasks disabled in Photo-PAINT and hardware acceleration enabled.
Bottom line: There are no pending plans for upgrades and at this time there is no ROI in it. The need just isn't there. Fortunately I really don't have any major problems with my workstation. If we should land a customer whose jobs demand a more robust workstation we'll definitely jump on it, but until then... carry on!
That's simply some of the differences between our systems, I have an i9, 64GB of RAM, (not that big a deal IMO) an SSD, I configure Windows, and there may be things that the IT guys do, (more often than not) that screws things up.
I would turn off background tasks in Photo-PAINT.
