Brushes lag in Photosho 2021

[aart2000]

I'm having troubles with my brushes laging. I've tweaked the different preferences according to other forums but none of them seem to reall help. Below are all my settings. I am by no means computer savy so any help here would be greatly appreciated. I paint a lot on photoshop and this lag is driving me crazy.

Could you please post a screenshot taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Brush Settings, Options Bar, …) visible? 

DId you turn off Smoothing?

You can also try to temporary uninstall the tablet driver, unplug it, and verify if the issue is present again.

Then chek tablet driver and so on...

If you are using Windows 10, open the Task Manager > Performance tab and try painting with a large brush (1000 pixels 1% spacing) See what is going on regards CPU usage.  I went crazy for a good few seconds to get this for instance

Try the same thing in the Proces tab but click on the CPU column to order things by cpu usage.

BTW The info you provided is not as usful as CPU clock speed.  Photoshop does make massif use of the GPU unfortunately.  A very fast processor is much more important.

[EDIT] I should have mentioned that unless you are using an underpowered system, my money is on the tablet driver,  What is your CPU, and what is its clock speed?

 I did the test you suggested above.  The numbers I'm getting are Process 38.5% Performance 41%.  What is this telling me?

 I also uninstalled and reinstalled my Wacom tablet. Nothing has changed. It still lags.

Looks like things are better - MUCH better. I installed the latest version of Photoshop and now things look like they are moving a lot smoother. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Thank you all for helping me out with this.

Holy macral, I'm trying to post a new message and it either won't post at all or it says I'm post flooding. Well, I just wanted to say the lag is back. I'm thinking it's my graphics card. The card Adobe suggest is out of my price range.  Any thoughts?
