Question

Bridge hates 4K monitors

Got a new Samsung 4K a few weeks ago. Immediately noticed massive, and I mean biblically massive slowdowns, taking up to 10 seconds to select a thumbnail, for example.

Today I decided to try Bridge on my non-4K monitor, and baBANG! There's the bridge I'd come to know and like.

Here's the whacky part: I dragged Bridge back to the 4K and things were running fairly well. Bridge eventually slows back down, but seemingly not as slow as when I boot and run it in the 4K.

I've not noticed this in other Adobe apps, however.

So.

v9.0.2.219

    Unchecking the "Tiles" option at the bottom of the window speeds things up quite substancially, but not as much as running it on a 1440p monitor.

    I decided to try the 2018 version of bridge and it works swimmingly. So it's a "It's not me it's you" thing.

    I did all of those last week. No dice. 2 hours ago I switched DisplayPorts on my rx580 and and Bridge was screaming fast again. Just woke it from sleep and Bridge is back to dog slow again.
