Photoshop is extremely laggy on my high end system!!
Hi everyone,
I'm facing an issue with Photoshop running noticeably laggy and sluggish, even though I’m using a high-end PC setup. Tasks like moving layers, using brushes, or even zooming in/out are lagging, which is affecting my workflow significantly. Sometimes when i shift from type tool to selection tool, the software completely get stuck for a while.
Here are my system specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 8-Core Processor
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER
RAM: 64 GB
Storage: SSD - 1 TB + 2 TB HDD(Photoshop and files are on the SSD)
OS: Windows 11 Pro
Photoshop Version: 26.6.0 20250414.r.14 f1f3569 x64
Things I’ve already tried:
Updated Photoshop to the latest version
Updated my graphics drivers
Increased RAM allocation in Preferences
Enabled/disabled GPU acceleration
Reset Photoshop preferences
Tried both Performance mode and Standard mode
Despite all this, the lag persists, especially with large files/small files or especillay when using smart objects, filters, and even when the project is on artboards.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue or found a fix? I’d really appreciate any insights, suggestions, or advanced settings tweaks that could help resolve this.
If anyone from adobe can provide a solution to this, much appreciate.
Thanks in advance!
