Question

Surface Book 2 - i7,GTX 1060 (6GB), GB 16 RAM. Slow Previews in Develope mode!

I am starting to get a bit frustrated with Lightroom Desktop on my Surface Book 2.

I've done the usual - Smart Preview, Optimzed Catalog, set aside 6 GB Vram for Lightroom and also not running any other applications than Lightroom.

But still the previews runs really slow, JPEG, RAW it dosent matter, and eventually my CPU throttles and I have to force quit LR because of severe lag.

I hope there is something else i can do.

This is the setup

- i7 - 8860U (1,9 ghz base, 2,11 boost)

- RAM 16 GB

- GTX 1060, 6 GB

- SSD

Thanks in advance for answers!

Hey John,

You ever find some solutions to.optimizing that surface book of yours. Bought one last week and can't believe what a dog it is.

It make no sense to me that my 5 year old macbook air runs smoother than my new Surface Book 2.

LR CC desktop is horribly optimized for windows 10 is my conclusion.

I have Windows 10 and I don't have the problems you do.

I also don't have a near 4K screen like you do, I have a smaller monitor (1920x1080). Your CPU isn't fast enough.

So relatively slow CPU, near 4K monitor, I am not surprised that some things are slow.

- i7 - 8860U (1,9 ghz base, 2,11 boost)

Internet searching for this CPU finds nothing.

If it is really a 1.9ghz chip, then that's the problem, it's a slow CPU. It takes a long time to render images.

Please tell us, how big are the photos taken by your camera in megapixels. (Do not tell me megabytes)

Please tell us, how big is your monitor in pixels (width and height). (Do not tell me inches)

Hi johnchristians25149944,

Which version of Lightroom are you using?

Could you please uncheck the option "Use graphics processor" under Preferences> Performance menu and let us know if that helps?

Refer Adobe Lightroom GPU Troubleshooting and FAQ​ for details.

Thanks,

Akash
