Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 32,387.7 MB Real memory used by Lightroom: 2,618.7 MB (7.9%) Real memory available to Lightroom: 32,768.0 MB This forum is going to be buried with bug reports. Think what it is going to be like with a new version of Lightroom running on the totally new version of MacOS on a new hardware architecture. Of course, the most straightforward solution for you is to switch to Windows, notice the flood of problems primarily by Mac users. Just take one unrealistic example, if Nvidia were to release a 32GB version of the P4000 and Lightroom were to require that card we would see a speedup for most functions. This is especially true if the whole image won't fit on the card. However for many functions, a video card is a bottle neck. People who don't know how video cards work think that we would unconditionally benefit from Lightroom increasing its use of the video card. All develop tools that I've tested are now instantaneous on my Windows Xeon 3.6/4.0 GHz machine with most of the improvements coming from heavier use of the processor. That would be free.Īlso measurements I've taken, reported in another thread, indicate that Lightroom is making much heavier use of the processor to provide performance improvements. And check with Adobe support to see what they say about the problems you are having with your card. In your situation, I would contact Nvidia support though they are likely to recommend the latest cards. Recent Nvidia Quadro and GeForce cards should be fine but there is always the issue with MacPro compatible drivers. On my machine (6-core Xeon, Nvidia Quadro, dual 4K monitors), the hit is very minor. But the balance overall is a significant improvement. For V10, we took at hit with scrolling in, mostly, the Develop module. Lastly, each new release of Lightroom provides several performance improvements and usually at least one slowdown.

Recommendation for 4K monitors, consider a 8GB Nvidia Quadro if there are drivers for macOS. Maybe we could crowd fund a video card focused on photo editing, just joking of course as we'd still have to use a Nvidia chip. Yes, Nvidia needs some competition in this area but since the effective demise of Matrox they are the only game in town. Also as ATI is primarily focused on the gaming market, $for$, their cards tend to be slow for photo or video editing. Sad to say but you folks are using old and slow video cards with old and slow processors.

Tip, on Windows, Lightroom gives the best performance in single screen mode with the Lightroom window at full screen.
