Photoshop is extremely laggy on high-end system

Trust me when I say I've tried EVERYTHING.

 

This includes:

  • clean installing Windows 11
  • installing the latest studio drivers
  • installing older/factory drivers
  • using Creative Cloud Removal Tool and reinstalling Photoshop
  • increasing the Performance settings to max (RAM usage, cache levels etc)
  • laptop's cooling is perfect - vapor chamber heatsink, new thermal paste, doesn't get hot or throttle
  • Windows performance mode
  • turning off hardware acceleration (not a real fix)

 

For reference: Intel i9-13900H, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD (7000mb/s, brand new), Nvidia 3500 Ada 12GB 

 

All of these only for Photoshop to run like a turtle. This is system wide - brush is laggy (it's not the smoothing setting), selections are laggy, creating shapes is laggy, scrolling/zooming is laggy etc.

 

I have a PC with almost the same specs and same settings, and Photoshop runs fine. No issues there.

    I don't know if you are still struggling with this issue on my windows laptop, but I've been dealing with the same issue for a couple of years, and toda I finally figured it out, at least for my machine. I had Parsec installed which had a virtual display driver. As soon as I uninsntalled it, photoshop got butter smooth again. It seems photoshop isn't great at dealing with multiple GPUs, even if they are virtual drivers, it just goes wacky. 

    So check if you have any remoted desktop app or similiar, that might have some virtual display drivers.

      ENORMOUS UPVOTE.
      I have been struggling with this problem for 1 year now on my RTX 4090 laptop and each time I contacted Adobe support all they could do was suggest using an older version of Photoshop. This here was the solution!

      It's not the hardware; it's photoshop itself.

      I reverted to 2019 and this version is 2x faster in auto subject selection, applying camera raw filter, and more.

      I'm in them same boat but with a desktop:
      Ryzen 9 7950X

      192GB of memory

      4090 GPU, 10gbit Ethernet

       

      Absolutely nothing else lags on this machine.  Nothing.  But photoshop is slower than molasses in January.  It wasn't like that until relatively recently.

        @Joeminator 

        Perhaps try a thorough reset of Photoshop preferences?

        (read this entire post before acting please)

        Resetting restores Photoshop's internal preferences, which are saved when Photoshop closes.

        If they become corrupt then various issues can occur.

         

        Here’s some info on how to do that:

        https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

        Manually removing preferences files is the most complete method for restoring Photoshop to its default state: 

        https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually

         

        Manually removing preferences files is the most complete method for restoring Photoshop to its default state. This method ensures all preferences and any user presets which may be causing a problem are not loaded.

        1. Quit Photoshop.

        2. Navigate to Photoshop's Preferences folder.
          macOS: Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings
          Windows: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings

           
          Note: The user Library folder is hidden by default on macOS. To access files in the hidden user Library folder, see How to access hidden user library files.
        3. Drag the entire Adobe Photoshop [Version] Settings folder to the desktop or somewhere safe for a back-up of your settings

        4. Open Photoshop.

           New preferences files will be created in their original location.

         

         

        Note re macOS: The user Library folder is hidden by default.

        To access files in the hidden user Library folder, see here for how to access hidden user library files.

        https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html

         

        Unexpected behaviour may indicate damaged preferences. Restoring preferences to their default settings is a good idea when trying to troubleshoot unexpected behaviours in Photoshop. check out the video

        https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset_preferences

         

        Learn how to access and modify Photoshop preferences and customise per your frequent workflows

        https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

         

        And here’s an earlier forum discussion as an aid to understanding

        https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-reset-photoshop-preferences/td-p/12502668

         

        You may want to backup your settings and custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences.

        Here is general info about that:  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#BackupPhotoshoppreferences

         

         

        Before you reset your preferences

        in case of future issues, I suggest you make a copy as Adobe may need one to check problematic references. 

        Quit Photoshop.
        Go to Photoshop's Preferences folder

        Preferences file locations: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html\


          [on MacOS see: Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings

          Note for those on macOS: - be aware that the user Library folder is hidden by default on macOS.

          https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html

          In the Finder, open the “Go” menu whilst holding down the Option (Alt) key.

          Library will now appear in the list - below the current user's “home” directory. ]

         

        Now you can drag the entire Adobe Photoshop [Version] Settings folder to the desktop or somewhere safe as a back-up of your settings.

         

         

        Note for those on macOS:

        Preference preservation is affected by macOS permissions,

        you’ll need to allow Photoshop ‘Full Disk Access’ in your Mac OS Preferences/Security and Privacy

         

        If that doesn't fix the issue:

        Go to Preferences > Performance... and uncheck Multithreaded Compositing - and restart Photoshop.

        Still hanging? 

        Go to Preferences > Performance... click Advanced Settings... and uncheck "GPU Compositing" - then restart Photoshop. 

        Do you still have problems?

         

         

         

        It may even be time to reinstall Photoshop.

         

        It’s recommended that you use the Adobe CC cleaner tool to remove all traces first.

        (See above about preserving preferences though! It’s worth preserving them unless they are corrupted.)

         

        https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

        Uninstall Photoshop BUT make sure to choose the option “Yes, remove app preference”.

         

        Once that process finishes, start the installation process and look into the “Advanced Options”. Uncheck “Import previous settings and preferences” and choose to “Remove old versions”.

         

        I hope this helps

          It's terrible, create an empty workbench, and move it.

          moves fluid.

          add a text "a" for example

          and move the work table.

          it becomes very slow.

          If you go down to version 25.7 and try that mass, it moves super fluid

          I have tried to explain this to the support area and it is impossible.

          They don't give a solution.

            Hi

            Can you go to Photoshop's Help menu > System info and click on copy. Then paste the info here.

            Can you also confirm that this is with the laptop plugged in to an extenal power source.

             

            Finally try this test.
            Create a new document 30,000 x 30,000 pixels , 8 bits/channel and white background. Set the zoom so you can see the entire document (here that is 4% zoom)

            Go to the info panel and in panel options turn on timing.

            Select the brush tool and set a soft round brush to 5000 pixel size,  hardness 0%, black (opacity and flow both 100% Smoothing 0%)

            Click at the top left of the canvas and then shift click at the bottom right.

             

            When the brush has finished drawing a soft diagonal line, read the timing in the info panel and post it here. It will give an indication of brush lag. My system takes 7.7s in 8 bits/channel

            First of all, since this is a laptop, it probably has dual graphics. That's always a potential conflict. Disable the integrated GPU as per section 6 & 7 here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html 

             

            Generally, laptops tend to be filled up with all kinds of useless software. This is where the laptop vendors see a chance to put their own stamp on the product. Most of it is just in the way, and causes problems. Uninstall, or disable as much as possible from startup. Also, go on a hunt for everything that looks gaming-related, and disable/reset.

             

            In short, clean up.

             

            When you install the studio driver, check "clean install" to remove all traces of the old driver. Uncheck the extra components in the driver package (GeForce Experience and PhysX). You don't need them.

             

            Finally - never max out Photoshop's memory allocation in Preferences! That's choking the rest of the system. Even ACR runs outside Photoshop's address space, and needs its own memory separate from Photoshop. Don't go above 75% or so. Also leave cache levels at default (4).

            What I'm about to say might sound like a lie but I've already done those.

             

            As I mentioned, I'm running on a clean install of Windows 11. Actually this is my fifth time doing it just because of Photoshop alone. No aditional apps are installed besides CC and Photoshop of course.

             

            Yes, I have two GPUs and I've already tried manually forcing Photoshop to use Nvidia. -No change.

             

            By maxing out the performance settings I wasn't clear enough - of course I didn't put the RAM usage to 100% but everything else is maxed out, like it is on my PC. RAM right now is about 90%, BUT... even with the default Settings there's still no change

             

            (just to confirm, I just tried doing those again, with no results)

             

            Funny thing is - when I got the laptop Photoshop used to run fine, even after the first clean reinstall. Then one day is just suddenly became laggy

              I'd still recommend a thorough cleanup. That does sound to me like some of that vendor-installed software updated and started to interfere.

               

              If you're uncomfortable with uninstalling, you can at least disable it from startup. That's easily reversible.

               

              I've seen laptops where you can hardly even find the operating system, it's all hidden under all kinds of "helpful" layers. Granted, that's worst case, but there's usually something.
