Illustrator, Brushes, and GPU

Report · Aug 12, 2018

I have an Nvidia GTX 1080. Illustrator, when GPU performance is enabled in Preferences has considerable lag when using either a mouse or wacom pen for drawing. As soon as GPU performance is turned off, the lag pretty much disappears. This can't be by design, can it?

Here are my system info:

There have been quite some issues reported with that card.

You could try and update the drivers.

But if that does not work, then you can only wait for more updates. The engineers are collaborating with graphics cards manufcturers to get things working, but sometimes there are issues which are hard to find.

Hey

I can only second what Monika has said. I have it running in a Mac Pro using the web driver and it works brilliantly (most of the time) with just about everything but the support in Illustrator isn't quite there yet. Not experiencing the same lag as you but there are often redraw issues with some operations so quite often I switch GPU performance off.

There are—as Monika said—quite a lot of variables to contend with but the team do work hard to resolve these things.

I run three side-by-side-by-side monitors. Usually, photoshop and

illustrator run on the middle monitor. If I run them on my main monitor,

which is to the far right, the brush response is dramatically improved.

I've also noticed this on1 Photoraw. Things seem to run better on the

monitor designated as the main display.

Hey. Almost the same—I have a Wacom Cintiq, BenQ PD3200Q and a small Samsung running side-by-side but there the similarity ends as Illustrator seems to work perfectly well on all three (with the GPU acceleration turned off).

If you have a workaround by sticking to the main display, then for now that is probably the best course to follow, and wait to see what future updates bring.
