Grid kills my GPU

I don't know if this is an issue with the most recent update (as I just updated) but  turning on View>Grid absolutely sucks all my GPU & uses a lot of power and I can barely pan or zoom into a document. As soon as I disable it, I can pan & zoom like normal again.

Hi Derek!

I've Windows 10, 64 gb ram. Below is some of the info spit out by Photoshop's sytem info that may be useful.

In photoshop I'm viewing 1 layer (background layer), res is 1920x1080 @ 72 ppi, 8bit color. I have two scratch disks set up

1) has 90gb free and 2) has 3354 gb free

Idle my GPU is sitting at 0% usage. When I pan with grid on it jumps to 64% usage and Photoshop chokes.

I don't think this should be happening. 🙂
