I'm going to start this new thread for the new version of photoshop. 
There are hundreds of comments about 2020 being slow and laggy and not a single adobe rep has even acknowledged it. I was hoping the upgrade would solve everyone's issues but alas that isn't the case. 

So this thread is for all you old and newcomers with new and old machines where photoshop runs like crap to complain about. Maybe their newest software might be seen for them to do something.  

I'll go first: 
Ryzen 9, 64 gigs of 3200 ram, 1080 ti gfx, 1nvme 3200mb.s ssd for programs, 1 tb sata sdd cache drive, 2 tb WD black for files. 

Photoshop takes almost 3 seconds to do simple things like changing to a shape pen tool to make shapes. 
Lags on anything pen tool, and type tool
Played with every setting in the performance and went through their pages on optimizing. 
I even went through the Nvidia setting but only gained a slight boost in performance.

Well, let's go:
Photoshop version v22.5.1 but I'm testing version 21.2.12 and the problem remains.
CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor
GPU - RTX 2080 Super
GPU Driver - Nvidia Studio 472.12

Windows version 10, version 21H1 with all updates.
I have two 27" monitors, both Full HD (1920x1080) 144HZ.

Delays always occur when zooming in on the material I'm working on, slowness when opening boxes like Blending Options, applying styles and changing fonts.

Opening the Photoshop preferences box takes 2 seconds to open and it always happens.

I believe I was clear about my pc information.

This is garbage, in PS 2020 I couldn't switch between documents without waiting for 10 seconds. 

In PS 2021 my document wouldn't even refresh when I was working with smart filters. Both seem to have been fixed but now it's insanely slow to do ANYTHING. 

 

On this workstation, you would expect anything to work smooth as butter but apperently it has trouble with the most basic of actions. This needs to be fixed instantaneously.

I have a powerful iMac with 24GB of ram that has run photoshop well for years but of late Photoshop 2020 and 2021 have been really laggy for me, DRIVING ME NUTS! The lag I was experiencing was when switching tabs and after closing the Image Size dialogue box (even if i didn't apply an image resize!). I'd see a beach ball for a couple of seconds, making what was previously a very fast task painfully slow. IT IS NOW FIXED: I went to Preferences -> General -> [Reset Preferences on Quit]. I then restarted photoshop and it was now back to being lightning fast and snappy! Phew.

same here ! it drive me nuts , 128GB of Ram / 2080 Ti with updated driver / Threadripper . but the tool is almost unusable i pay every month for this, and photoshop is now UNUSABLE in production. It is just too laggy. I wait till the end of the month and if PS is still laggy i will stop my sub and install a crack CS3. NO CHOICE , i have work to do and my clients want psd so i don't want to switch to affinity for the moment. You should allow your customers to access CS3 when they pay for CC2021. Autodesk allow you to use older version of Maya , same for sidefx and houdini. I need a reliable PS , i need CS3.

I hear you, my friend! I know the feeling. Did you try doing Preferences -> General -> [Reset Preferences on Quit] ? This worked for me.

My issues hit about 2-3 weeks ago in ACR, as soon as I touch a detail slider (TEXTURE CLARITY SHARPEN NOISE REDUCTION). Strangely it corresponded to new camera purchase so Ive spent 3 weeks narrowing down the issues, reseting PRAM and PREF using 2021 2020 and 2019 , changing cache settings, screen resolution, using old files from old camera. and nothing has helped. all three versions of Camera Raw will show blocks of solids colors during detail previews. Im scared to death to install Big Sur, as Im already so far behind in my work, from the hanging redraws. At least Big Sur would have updated video driver? Would this help or render CC2021 unusable?

I'm running a Mac and found out mine was so slow because the mac's Firewall was on I have Norton so I turned the Mac firewall off and it works fine now so it's the firewall because the CC 2121 or the cloud version is online so if the firewall is on it's checking the connecting all the time which is what it seems to be the problem on mine at least?

I am trying to use PS CC 2021 ACR.  It is painfully slow and esentually useless for handeling large groups of RAW files.  So far my only solution is to revert back to PS CC 2020 ACR and things are fine.

I do wonder (and would assume) if Adobe has multiple users with various systems test PS w/ACR and large groups of RAW files before releasing to the public (these issues should have shown up).

Moving selection on a layer is very laggy, same goes for undo/redo. It's very frustrating to use. It's not worth the money.

 

I also have an NVIDIA 2080 TI. Also for me using the 2020 version (v21.2.4) is completely fine but it's very slow for the 2021 (22.0.1). 

 

I think it's reasonable to believe many, most or all NVIDIA 2080 TI card users are affected. Please point this out to your engineers! Test it with the card I mentioned.

I was having problems with Photoshop 2021, it was slow and unusable, switching between images too forever. The solution was simple, I just unchecked the Use Graphic Processor and now Photoshop 2021 is very fast.

Mine is the same way even picking a text style that used to take 1 to 2 seconds now takes 5 or 6 seconds deleting a layer takes 10 to 12 seconds now every aspect of this is now three times slower. I was even thinking of going back to the C6 version then looked at the pacage it's windows version I've since switched to Mac so i guess i'm stuck.

Same here.

At first I thought something is wrong with my system. But reading this thread here puts my mind at ease. So theres nothing to do but to wait for a fix.

I too am experencing laggy Photoshop 2021. I am running a $30,000 Mac Pro with all the latest gear. It is very noticeable in most aspects especailly when saving files. Luckily I still have 2020 installed and I am going back until thay improve it. I cannot understand how this could have been released.
