Hi trshaner Well it turns out it was not the card that was a problem. I did change it tho and noticed little improvement so I went back to Adobe support and after few tests it turns out that there was a problem with my windows user account on the permission level. We have set the dummy account, installed lightroom and this worked. So I have migrated everything over and it`s all ok now. Thanks again for all the advice ... View more

I actually came across that youtube video yesterday! yes it is turning out that I will need an upgrade in the end... the worst! ha Just in regards to the GTX 1050 ive noticed that this is not on the adobe list of recommended cards - would you stick to the list or this one should work just fine? Apologies in advance, i am pretty lame when comes to those things... Adobe Lightroom GPU Troubleshooting and FAQ Thank you again for all your advice! Much appreciated!    ... View more

Thank you trshaner! I think i will have to look into that graphic card...  Lightroom improved a bit - sliders works better now but still i`m working on a wedding and white balance picker takes very long time to show up and then to update the changes. Loading presents was working fine at the start but after a while it got slower. And my side panels - it takes a very long time to hide or bring back.  I just checked my task manager and just for the record - lightroom takes up 2gb ram and on cpu it reaches 8% when I for example try to crop image - not sure if this is how it should be :// Anyway thank you again for your suggestions! Few steps forward means progress   ... View more

I have canon 5d mark3 and 6D and i shoot full or medium raw so they will be quite big but I would thought that this should not affect the software that is designed for prof photographers? out of frustration i tried capture one and everything works flawlessly... no idea why do i have so much trouble with LR. drivers are up to date and my OS is WIN10...  ...

Hi @Jao vdL thank you for your reply! yes my catalogs and camera raw are on my main ssd hd - no sure if this could be a problem that they are on the same drive as my OS... I would assume not. Capacity is 237gb and i still have around 90gb free space... I have allocated 50gb for camera raw cache... ... View more

Thank you trshaner for your reply. My GPU was off. I started working only on one monitor and I can see a slight improvement. But will know more later on this eve when i get into full swing with my work. Would better card help with second monitor I wonder? Still baffled about adobe support team being so adamant in regards to my card being at fault... Thank you again for your help!       ... View more

its the current one - 2015.12 release. Have the adobe photo cloud pack so all up to date. not really, I tend to do that in Photoshop - one of the reasons being the lagging in lightroom... ... View more

Hi dj_paige, thank you for your reply! well everything is slow. switching between modules, scrolling up or down in the library and in develop module, going through images lags, setting rating, develop module sliders can stater when moving them and slow to respond, the changes are not coming up right away - have to wait to see the results, loading presets lags, moving between images lags, preset preview lag and slideshow takes forever to export... Thank you again for your reply! ... View more

Hi All, Sorry for jumping in here but this topic is right up my alley and perhaps someone will be able advice me. My lightroom is dead slow - anything I do lags terribly. Recently when i contacted adobe support team on two occasions they told me that i need to change my graphic card as they do not support the one I have and this is the reason of my struggle. Now I am not much of a computer guy and when comes to those things I am simply plain stupid - but reading your posts above i am getting the impression that changing graphic card will only make a difference to display on a high res screen and it wont make a difference to a speed of lightroom itself? My graphic card is NVIDIA GeForce 210 and i use two old monitors both have res 1280 x 1024 - would the card be really a problem here? Now if this is correct and indeed my GeForce 210 is at fault - which card should i go for? this is the list of recommendations: Graphics cards released in the year 2014 or afterwards that meet the minimum system requirements (listed above) should work. AMD: For AMD cards, consider using the Radeon R9 series of cards, such as the R9 270 through 290. NVIDIA: For NVIDIA cards, consider using a card from the GeForce GTX 760+ line (760, 770, 780, or later) or from the GeForce GTX 900 series. Intel: For Intel cards, Intel HD Graphics 4400+, 5000+, 510+, P530, P630, Iris Pro Graphics 5200, 6100+, P6300, P580 or later are required. Would lets say GTX 760 with 4gb video ram be enough to see a difference or should i go for something higher like gtx 960? - just to mention i dont do games - plainly photography in lightroom and photoshop... Also on the side note my processor is Intel core i7 4770K CPU@3.50GHz and i have 16gb ram Many thanks in advance! ... View more
