I have lags when i am using free transform: Lags transform photoshop - YouTube

This document - 50x20cm 300dpi
transformed photo - 20 mega pixels (smart object)

I tried to turn off layer thumbnails, change graphic processor settings, but the problem is resting.

I can to buy better PC but I must understand why free transform is lag now.

Windows 7

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti

i7 3500

RAM: 16Gb

Reading from HDD

System, photoshop and scratch disk - SSD

What you show in that video is lag in free transform preview not in the actual transform.  I do not see that on my machine with that size image.  Photoshop may be using my GPU to improve the preview performance.   Check your Photoshop presences Performance and your GPU setting.  If enabled try disabling that support there may be a problem in your GPU support.  If not enabled try enabling it.  If you change the GPU setting stop and start Photoshop to ensure the change has been made some thing in Photoshop are initialize when Photoshop start up.

Same lag with actual free transform. I upgraded drivers on GPU and I tried to enable and to disable GPU wth restart photoshop, but this is not solve my problem.

What GPU and other hardware are you use?

I have an old dell workstation.  On my system it make not differences if GPU is on or off.  I think the whole process would be done with CPU, GPU, mouse driver and displays driver  doing all the work. Not much of a load Just the layer preview  would  be rotating and blending with the composite of the other layers.  If there are many layer and smart filters above and below the active layer blending may become a load.  I you the problem all the tins with just a few layers. Try resetting All tools and you Photoshop preferences.
