That's a pretty long article, where does it indicate a problem with 5950x?
Please tell us your monitor size in pixels (not inches) and the size of the original files taken by your camera(s) in pixels or megapixels (not megabytes).

And excerpt from the article :
"The only oddity in our testing was that the Ryzen 9 5950X ended up performing worse than the 5900X - in large part due to some performance issues with the "Build 500x Smart Previews" tests. We confirmed these results multiple times, and for whatever reason, Lightroom Classic simply doesn't like the 5950X at the moment."
Sorry for missing out some details. Here you go :
Monitor size : 2560x1440
Camera sensor : 20.7 MP (5568 x 3712)
Then again, as I said, the problems started after I upgraded my system. Things that changed (or could have) :
- Processor, motherboard, RAM, Storage
- Lightroom version (?)
- Nvidia driver (?)
A few updates :
- The mouse alone stuttering seems to be a gsync related issue (I had enabled gsync for windowed mode). So the mouse pointer itself moves around smoothly now.
- Tried moving to older Lightroom version.
- Tried moving to older Nvidia driver.
- The photos were earlier placed on a 7200 RPM magnetic drive (even before the upgrade and everything was working fine). I moved the photos to a SATA SSD.
- The cache/catalog folders were earlier on a SATA SSD. They are now on PCIe Gen4 NVME SSD.

These are not your symptoms.
Are you doing huge amounts of brushing or spot healing on each photo?
By @dj_paige
Well, I was just considering the probabilty of a different manifestation of the underlying problem they are talking about. 😄
Anyhow, no, no brushes/spot healing. The test that I do now is pretty straight forward :
- Open an unedited photo
- Turn on GPU support
- Zoom in and click and drag the photo around
- Change one of the global setting like "Clarity" or "Texture"
- TUrn off GPU support
- Repeat steps 3 and 4
So, just to re-iterate the problems I see :
- With GPU support disabled, when changing a global setting like "clarity", the image on the screen becomes blurry and updates only when I move the mouse! (or after a few seconds sometimes). If I do a little bit of crop, the issue goes away!
- With GPU support enabled, dragging around a zoomed in image is horrendous!
Try doing a clean install of the lateset Nvida Studio Driver.

Will try the studio driver. I did not, so far, becuase the latest Studio driver has the exact same version as the latest Game Ready driver and so assumed they are the same. 🙂 I assumed that the only difference between the two is the release cycle (as in, the Studio driver would not be release as periodically as the Game Read driver and hence shold be ideally the more stable of the two).
1) Download the latest Production Branch/Studio driver.
2) Uninstall ALL Nvidia drivers showing in Windows ‘Programs and Features’ list.
3) When installing new drivers make sure to select 'Custom' and check only
‘Graphics Driver,’ and 'Clean Install' boxes as shown below.
Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs.

So, some performance tips for the OS and for the GPU.
see tip 8 in:

and for the GPU, NVIDIA Controll Panel, you want to modify the power management

Hi, thank for the inputs. 🙂
- I am on "High Perf" mode on Windows. And more importantly, since it is a fresh installation, there is prety much nothing else running on my machine.
- I will play around with the settings in the NVIDIA control panel. But then again, everything was working fine with the default settings before the upgrade. 🙂
You could take a look at the response I gave to @dj_paige to get a feel of the "tests" that I am doing. 🙂
