I have an AMD HD 7800 Driver and with the latest driver install (well even the last 6 driver updates), Corel runs at max resource utilization when opening a file, copying, saving, etc. My whole system bogs down to a crawl Please fix your program. I don't wan to have to pay $300 for an NVidia graphics card just so your software will work. This issue is getting old. I paid good money for this software and I have been using it for 5 years now (Since Corel x6). Please fix X8. I've opened tickets, made videos, sent screen shots, still nothing. If I COMPLETELY remove the AMD drivers and use whatever Windows installs then Corel works great, just like it used to. But this is down right silly to have to do this.

Corel Version: X8 (which we've not received an update for in a long time!)

I'm getting this too but in Coreldraw 2018 on two Win 7 machines both AMD powered computers with integrated GPU's
I made a video of something I term a Houdini Bug that makes everything on your page disappear it in this thread:

Here are detailed instructions in another thread about LAG and AMD drivers:https://community.coreldraw.com/talk/coreldraw-graphics-suite-2018/f/coreldraw-graphics-suite-2018/57518/coreldraw-2018-lag
Houdini Graphics Bug - makes everything (Text, vectors and bitmaps) on a page disappear!
OK, I seem to have a workaround fix for my disappearing graphics on the page inside Coreldraw 2018 on my AMD machines. I think this is still a bug and needs others to test and see if they get the same thing happening or not.
1) Draw some graphics on your page (3 or 4 squares, circles whatever you wish...color each one a pretty color)2) Use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out a few times...all seems fine and dandy...speedy!3) If your mouse has a tilt scroll wheel, tilt it left and to the right a few times to pan around.4) Now try zooming in and out again using your scroll wheel...hey, where's my artwork gone? It's pulled a Houdini. It doesn't matter if you view the page in Wireframe or Enhanced mode...your graphics are gone! Or are they?5) Now for a workaround fix, click on the small magnifying glass icon with a crosshairs in it at the point where the two scroll bars (horizontal and vertical) on the Coreldraw GUI meet and pan around a bit using the mini-navigator window. Basically you just need to click on this icon.6) Now try zooming in and out using the mouse wheel again...Presto! Your artwork is back...
So is it, the graphics drivers doing this or is it Coreldraw 2018? Anyhow this is happening on both my desktop and laptop now. At least I can use the desktop again! Both AMD machines, both have different combo CPU/GPU's. Both run different versions of AMD drivers.
Anyhow, don't use your tilt scroll wheel button to pan around but if you do, there's a workaround that should get you going again.
