Incredibly slow performance on Photoshop (New install, 3900x & 2080ti)

Hi. Am I having this same problem?

I have a Ryzen 9 3900x, 32gb of ram and a RTX 2080 Super.

Everything is very slow, even to move simple layers.

I have a notebook with a GTX 1060 and it runs faster.

Hello everybody, I also have a Ryzen 3900X (RTX2070 Super, 32 GB Ram, Windows 10 Pro, Photoshop 21.2.2) and the same problem since the purchase. The "Shake Reduction" function is still extremely slow with my Ryzen9 3900X. A 21 MP picture now takes almost 4 minutes - the updates seem to have slowed it down even more! The 7 year old i7 4770 takes the same picture in under 20 seconds. As I've seen, no GPU is used there either. So it's a pure CPU calculation. Maybe Adobe should adapt the function to the AMD ZEN2 architecture. Many of my colleagues have switched to the Ryzen9 ... Tom

Same probleme here.

Photoshop and Illustrator works so slow with my RTX2080tis.

In my laptop with GTX1070 Max-Q , exactly the same file works smooth.

I think that de RTX technology is not working good with Photoshop

Hopefully we can get a update soon.

So there is something i learned. Apparently since 1800 win10 version, there is a meltdown+spectre patches implemented.

And apparently they eat up a hella lot of cpu time. Disabling that speeds up photoshop considerably. You can learn all about it through google.

No slow downs here on an older system. I respond with this just to see if there are any common element between those who experience slowdowns and those who do not.

Intel 3930k, 64GB RAM, GTX1080 driver 442.92, Windows 10 v1909, Photoshop 21.2

I've just been working on an 11824 x 15657 px canvas with 15 layers mostly smart objects - moving elements around prior to printing. All nice and smooth.

Same here. 2070 Super and 3900X with 48GB of 3200 mhz Ram and it's so slow I can barely work. I had a quad core i7 with a basic gpu before and it worked much faster and better.

Having serious performance issues here too. Running on a fairly beefy PC with all drivers and software updates installed. It's taking nearly 4-5 seconds for me to even rename a group, copy and paste text or move something on the artboard of a basic photoshop file.

Has anyone suffering from this issue found any way to improve performance, even slightly? As this is painful.

Just upgraded to 2060s and i encountered the same issue. Since going back to 960 on which everything was running perfectly is not an option, i will be switching to affinity for the next project.

Highly doubt this issue will ever be fixed all online "advices" are just clickbait copypaste articles, nothing helps.

Same here, 

Working as a professional with photoshop from 7.0 I was using CS6 till a couple of days ago. 

I had the time to look in to the newer features because all work stopped for me know with the corona. So i got myself the newest greatest and most promising version of photoshop. 

I really like all the new features and liking the new masking tools a lot! But unfortunately i cannot work with this version because it is way to slow. And i mean it is so slow it is impossible to work with.

Hope this all be fixed and in the meanwhile I will try to revert to a 2019 version. Maybe that works. 

I too have been having problems with SLOW startup of Photoshop.  It just took over 4 1/2 minutes for it to load and allow me to use the text tool.  I HATE the cloud based programs.  I have used photoshop since version 2.0 back in 1991.  Never had an issue until Adobe forced everyone to go to cloud base programs.  Bought and paid for every upgrade since then and miss the days when the program was up and running within 30 seconds of starting it.

I saw the comments from D_Fosse and don't believe a word of it.  Since the cloud services began it has been a turtle in startup and performance over all.
