Severe Performance Issues with Photoshop on High-End Workstation – Anyone Else?
Hello everyone,
I have a high-end Alienware workstation with 32GB of RAM, a 3.6GHz i7 processor, and an RTX 3080 graphics card.
Photoshop has always been exceptionally slow in my experience, and I genuinely believe this will lead to its downfall in the face of emerging competitors like Figma, Canva, and similar software.
For the past few weeks, the simple selection tool in Photoshop has become unbearably slow, making it impossible to work. Photoshop constantly freezes, crashes, and displays white blocks when I zoom in or out.
It is extremely frustrating and unacceptable to pay such a high price for such a buggy software!
I have tried everything: installing Nvidia's special studio driver, disabling GPU acceleration... everything!
Nothing changes; this software remains painfully slow.
When I perform a basic selection, even the selection cursor stutters, making precise selection impossible.
I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, updating... NOTHING works!
Frankly, I am fed up with using this overrated software that quadruples my production time.
I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this, but if there are others in the same situation, please speak up!
