Latest version of Lightroom seems very, very slow...

[TheBigLumbowski]

Hi - working on W10, 32GB RAM, i7-8700@3.7Ghz, GTX1080Ti, latest versions of all software, catalogue and previews all stored on SSDs, plenty of free disk space, 1:1 previews created, files imported from Z6 as DNG... 

And still Lightroom chugs along. There seems to be a noticeable difference since the latest update on this first import.

It takes between 2-5s to switch between images in Develop (instant in Library), about 2s to activate the crop tool, quite often see "Not Responding" while waiting, which I've never seen before. The images are headshots so no massive editing going on. 

Interestingly, if I go to an older folder in the Library, performance is OK. So it looks like something to do with importing into the newest version. 

Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?

Please try switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue 

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

Somebody buy this man a drink. That's improved it no end... still not 100%, but at least it's usable now. 

I'll try and roll back my GFX driver to see if that was the problem.

Are the photos also on the SSD?

[TheBigLumbowski]

If only. Just have catalog and cache on SSD.

What is your NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti GPU driver version?

And advise, that you accomplish a clean install of any GPU driver (in custom install for NVIDIA)

[TheBigLumbowski]

It's the latest driver from Nvidia. Will try a clean install - usually just do express.

To confirm - doing a clean install for the Nvidia drivers has solved the problem. Thanks!
