I'm am just at a loss of words.

What a mess. It could not be any slower. What were you thinking Adobe?

You ripped apart the code just to add GPU support for what? To provide worse performance?

Make sure you DL the demo first... CS4 is a disaster.

The latest hardware cant even run it smoothly... Dont tell me its graphic drivers.

      >Bogus Chris Cox:Adobe Photoshop Engineer
      Early next month, Adobe will be officially announcing a fix for all of the issues in this thread. The tentative release title is Adobe® Photoshop® CS5, with an expected upgrade MSRP of $199 USD.

      I guess the forum doesn't check for duplicate or forged names, does it?

      Nick: Still no solutions for you? As you might recall, I have the ATI 1950 Pro and that works well. Weird.

      Harry, I have the same problem with the ATI 1950X card. So far, the only thing that helps is turning off OpenGL in prefs.

      Don't know how current this thread is, and I've not read the entire thing, but the post on this page saying that Chris Cox says Adobe has not reproduced the ATI problem internally gives me reason to post.

      CS4 on my ATI 4850 with latest drivers and 32-bit XP Pro also refreshes very poorly. After every window move, I have to zoom in and out or some other similar operation to get the window to refresh to see the contents.

      If there's no repro within Adobe for this, I would be happy to provide info or video or something of this happening.

      The solution by someone given a few pages back for reducing lag with the brush by selecting various OpenGL functions, reduced mine to 0 drag. Before there was huge drag, it would trail 1cm behind when I drew concentric circles, now none. I'm sooo bloody happy!!

      Also tried out the retouchartists speed test: 30 seconds. Is that average?
