CPU preview doesn't use the graphic card, which in some cases is necessary, because the GPU is only quick, but neither precise nor can it render some things at all (I'm talking about you, knockout groups).

Are you familiar with color management?

I'm running an Radeon Pulse RX 580 8 GB on a Samesong 4K monitor. If I don't set up Illustrator 2020 to boot when I reboot my Mac Pro it will run sluggishly and jerky, especially when using the grabber hand. But as soon as I quit and reboot Illustrator, it's sluggish and jerky. When I move the Illustrator window while it's sluggish and jerky to my 2K monitor Illustrator performs fine, just as it does when it first boots with my system.

 

Any thoughts as to why this would be?

Oh, thank you, then.

What about CPU preview? Is it just a normal function?
