Lightroom Develop Module GPU Utilisation

Hey Guys!

I was using Lightroom for years now. Last month I canceled my subscription because of the very low performance in Develop Module. My Problem was and is; when I created many healing points (50-100+) lightroom was stuttering. I tried disabling GPU Acceleration but it was worse than with it enabled.

My question is now:

Ich heard of this Problem many times and was wondering if changing my GPU from a 1050Ti 4GB to maybe 1060 3GB (or higher) or sth like this would Change anything? Or is it Just that lightroom is very worse in handling so much spots?

I dont dont want to use Photoshop, as many conclusions offer, because I'm fully Happy with my LR edits.

There aren't any benchmarks for lightrooms develop section. Only for importing, exporting and Preview creation because this is mostly the most important part for most of you and I understand that. But it leads me to my question.

Btw I am using seperate SSD's for OS, Adobe products and Cache. Always editing on smart previews. Original (dng) images Stored on NAS because the importing or exporting time isnt a thing for me.

My CPU is a Ryzen 5 1600X @ 3,95GHz on every single core. 16GB DDR4 RAM 3066MHz Dual Channel.

Thank you for your help!

    Yes, it is the healing spots that are killing you, especially that many.

    If you are going to stay in LR, you will want to move the use of the healing brush to the very end of the edit history.

    However, for that large number of healing spots, it is recommended that you go to Photoshop for performance reasons.

    I also must add that if you are using 50>100+ spot removal or adjustment brush strokes then you might want to look at why you are using so many. Poor lighting and or exposure settings, get lights and or flashes, spots from a dirty sensor, clean the sensor, and so on.
