Photoshop Performance, is it normal?

Hey!
So im started using Photoshop couple weeks ago on my very high-end gaming PC (check specs below).

However i have very sluggish,laggy experience with Photoshop on my machine. It gets worse with more layers i have. But even with just couple layers doesn feel really smooth as i think it should be. I wont even talk about masking section window when i make layer mask, it can be VERY laggy.

Im usually working with about 2500x3000 images. But that shouldn't be problem on my machine, right?

Ive tried changing preferences many times, making more ram available for PS and so on, nothing really helped. Also i was trying to uninstall couple times, still same performance. Also i am using paid version ( not cracked or something). I pay monthly for Lightroom and PS.

I dont know, maybe this is normal for Photoshop, maybe it isnt really smooth software as i thought it may be. But when people say on youtube they were using 160+ layers , thats mind-blowing. Im pretty sure my PS would choke on that many layers.

Here is my specs:
16GB Ram memory
RTX 2080 Graphic Card
i7 6700 Processor
SSD 4x 500GB

(Photoshop installed on SSD and atleast 100GB free of space)

Also i want to mention that my PC performance in games and overall is very good.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

The current studio driver 441.66 is later than your game ready driver so it would be worth trying. If you do, used the Advanced option and then Clean Install so there is no carry over from previous drivers.

If that is not succesful, you may want to try the option in this thread to disable GSync for Photoshop.

Also im sorry for miss information. Power usage is NOT always Very High. I just checked it.

Adding to what Dave said, has it always been this way when you started using Photoshop?

 

Anything going on in the background, like any apps in the SysTray in the lower right that aren't mission-critical to Photoshop? Photoshop loves RAM. It'll start to use the scratch disk once it runs out of it but even then it shouldn't cause what you're experiencing on your system.

 

Have you tried the Studio driver (which is aimed more squarely at creatives) rather than the Game Ready driver from NVIDIA?

When i see ram and cpu usage in task manager i don see that neither ram or cpu is used more than 80%. However i see that "Power Usage" on Photoshop is always "Very High" and red color. 

 

As for the drivers. I really want to play games on my PC, thats why i meed GR driver.

So "Very High" is constant? I believe that only should be happening when Photoshop's actually doing something rather than just letting a document be idle. Something is definitely up there.

 

Try the Studio driver at some point anyway if you still can't get Photoshop to behave; I use it for some games as well and don't have any issues.

 

Other things to try:

Is this PC constantly on? Try a reboot.

 

Relatedly, try booting with only the basics. (Ctrl + Shift  + Esc > Task Manager > Startup > right-click and disable anything non-Adobe related just to see if any TSRs are screwing around with Photoshop.)

Can you go to Photoshop's Help - System info and press the copy button. Then paste the entire info into a reply here.
