Question

Lightroom Classic extremely slow with high resolution monitor.

So I've bought a new ultra wide thats 144hz and 1440p and lightroom is god awful on it. Was never like this before I upgraded. I have two other 1080p monitors on the side and dragging lightroom to those and instantly speeds back up. All my photos are off an M.2 samsung evo drive. Does lightroom have a silly problem with high refresh rates and resolutions? 

my pc specs of it helps:

Intel i5 8600k 

GTX 1070

32gb 3200mhz Ram 

2tb samsung evo m.2

    Lightroom version: 7.1.2 x64 [ 20231210-1901-9bac95f ] (Dec 10 2023)

    So this is Lightroom Ecosystem (Cloud Based) Lr, not Lightroom Classic LrC.

     

    Or did you accidentally post from the wrong software.

     

    Can you post a screenshot of you software.

    1. SYSTEM INFO

     

    Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.

     

    example:

     

     

    example deleted

     

     

     

    2. /PREFERENCES/PERFORMANCE/, INFO

     

    And can you post your info shown in /preferences/performance/

     

    example:

     

    /note/ as for my large Camera RAW CACHE, just my personal preference,yours does not need to be that extreme. A size of 20 GB is more common, The default 5 GB would be way to small.

    Agreeing with @F. McLion your graphics card is 7 years old now, and that is a likely cause of the problem.

    Also please tell us:

    • how big (in pixels or megapixels, NOT megabytes) are the photos from your camera?
    • are these photos RAW or JPG?
    • what actions in LrC are slow.

     

    The rest of your system, as shown in Help->System Info, will also be helpful.

    I take photos on a Sony A7 IV which is 33 mega pixels. All photos taken in RAW. Pretty much every action in LrC is slow from choosing a preset, the adjusting sliders and loading presets, that just never happens i have to drag Lr over to my 1080p monitor.

    Yes this is what happens using Lightroom Classic, larger (in pixels) resolution monitors require more computer horsepower than lower (in pixels) resolution monitors. You need better hardware to use larger (in pixels) monitors. 3440x1440 monitors require more powerful hardware than 1920x1080 monitors. Probably better GPU; maybe also better CPU.

    Just out of curiosity: What is the gain you expect of a higher refresh rate than the standard 60Hz, except for gaming?

    Your gear is rather old and low powered for multiple high resolution/high refresh displays.

    I dont play big titles or ever play games all together. I got the high refresh rate becuase it looks nice also new monitor has HDR which i nevr had before and photos come out many times better supporting a better resolution. But could come down to old pc specs.
