The newest version of Photoshop V25.4 is so laggy is almost become useless.
Here is a comparison of Photoshop 2023 V24.1.1 which is running fine.

All drivers are updated.

System:

Dell XPS 15

Win 10
x64-based PC
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU
RAM 16 GB
Intel(R) HD Graphics 530
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 2GB

@stefan_perriard it's not really a bug, Photoshop runs fine on my system with an RTX 3090 GPU, the GeForce GTX 960M 2GB was released in early march 2015 so it's nearly 9 years old, Photoshop system requirements have changed a lot over that period.

This update pretty much made Duplicate image useless. Before you could have a live feed of what you were doing in dupilicate or original image but after the update you have to swap which is tedious and defeats it's purpose. I rolled back the update and it worked. Please fix this.

Thank you for the reply! So I will never be able to run Photoshop 2024 smoothly on my machine?

It's an odd bug as everything works, the UI is just so laggy.

Yes, same here. When drawing a stroke, the response is very slow, I totally cannot draw with that kind of interaction. Before upgrading to 2024, it was working fine in 2023. Why the higher version is not an improvement but a problem to the user??? How can I downgrade back to 2023 version?
