Lightroom Classic: Very slow rendering in Develop module

hi folks,just installed LR CC. Rendering in develop module is really slow. Eg. when I move between photos, it takes a good 3 seconds for the photo to fully render. Displays "loading" for about 2 seconds and then a further second or two before the image is fully rendered.This isn't happening in the Loupe view.This is with a new set of photos I just imported, and I had "build 1:1 previews" set during import.Is this an issue or have I got a setting wrong somewhere?It wasn't quite this bad on LR 5.ThanksDave

Thanks Victoria. Looks like leaving it turned off is the way to go.

I should have worded that - what do you mean by "smoother interactivity" ?

what does the GPU function actually do?

hi Victoria,

Yes that seems to make a difference.

What's the trade-off for turning it off?

FYI i am using raw files.

thanks

Dave, go to preferences> performance and turn off the gpu to see if you're happier. There a trade-off - the smoother interactivity with it turned on its traded for slightly slower load speed while the data is passed from the cpu to gpu.
