Performance problems - Very slow and studdering

[svens82]

Hello all,

My Premiere Pro (v14.0.0) is very slow and studdering in the preview at every project. Any ideas? This problem is very annoying 😕

Cache is cleard. Preview is 1/2. Proxy was a little helpful.

- Windows 10

- Intel i7 7500U CPU 2.70GHz

- 32 GB DDR4 (Premiere got 26 GB)

- GeForce 940MX (2GB)

- TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100 / SATA-III 6.0Gb/s / 1TB

many thanks in advance

Sven

What about your system's CPU? Storage system (disks, SSD, etc.)? Those two has even more of an impact than the GPU or RAM.

Oh yes, sorry I forgot

What about disks? Hard drive or SSD?

You see, the combination of the relatively weak CPU and your storage system plays a HUGE role in this stuttering performance. Your CPU, despite being branded i7, is only a dual-core CPU with hyperthreading (only 4 threads total). And in my testing no dual-core CPU, even with hyperthreading, is as powerful as even a mediocre true quad-core CPU, let alone the 6-core or higher core count CPUs that we generally recommend.

And don't rely on the number of CPUs in the Windows Task Manager: They just show the total number of processing threads. However, the total CPU usage and the disk throughput usage will tell you something: If one or both of those are either maxed out or are close to being maxed out (while at the same time the memory usage is on the high side), then your system's hardware configuration simply isn't powerful enough to handle this video content while running Premiere Pro.

It's a TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100 / SATA-III 6.0Gb/s / 1TB

Yes, unfortunately, you're right. It's a dual-core with 4 threads 😞
I didn't consider this as I bought my laptop. I read i7 thats all...any option to get the system faster (without substitute the mainboard - it's a laptop)
Acer Aspire f5-573g

By the way, what do you prefere for a new one Apple or Windows?

I had my first apple in my mind
