Starhub digital phoneline causing lag?

Blucifer · 07:00 PM

Hi bros,

i just got a new rig but when i try work in Photoshop CS5 and corel painter, i still experience brush lag. eg i open a 5000 by 3000 canvas, and in both programs the brush lags behind by around 1 second when i use bigger brushes ( photoshop lags already at 50-100px brush). eg watercolor brushes in painter and the new paint brushes in photoshop

Im currently on:

windows 7 ultimate 64bit, amd x6 1055t, palite gts250 512mb, wd black 1tb, 4gb ram

I downloaded the latest video drivers from nvidia already. I also enabled the opengl support for photoshop for the card

anyone knows why am i still experiencing lag, and is that due to Gfx/processor/hdd? what kinda specs do i need for there to be no lag

GPU and OpenGL Support in Photoshop CS5 and CS4

I am not really sure why it lags though. In any case I trust Intel processors for multimedia content generation more than AMD.

Hi,

Its only the painting brushes that lag, the overall software itself is fine

Actually the solutions are similar, just that that link offers more solutions for performance issues.

What you are looking for would be: Brushes are slow or lag in Photoshop CS4 (Windows) I could not find any CS5 troubleshooting support for this issue.

Thanks for the link, i tried but didn't help.

im also facing the same lag in corel painter. do you have any idea which hardware component might be responsible for it?

Hmm, so the problem persisted even after disabling OpenGL. That would be troublesome.

Try updating photoshop and corel to see if it is a performance bug.

The CPU is responsible for processing brush movements and shapes. So if any hardware is to blame, it would be the CPU.

However, Thuban is AMD's flagship, so I do not think it is the cause. You can test this by overclocking the CPU and seeing whether the lag improves. Do report the results here if you do that

Not wrong about Thuban being the flagship.

But I recall mentioning in TS's other thread that it would not be as wise to go for the 6-core as most apps would not be able to maximise its potential (ONLY raytracing apps can do that for now). The ALU on the 1055T would be too weak for this purpose. TS should have gone for the 1090T earlier or stuck to Core i5-661 and 8GB of ram.

This being AMD, I've no idea how would you want to channel the resources back into a single or dual core temporary setup (not as straight forward as disabling HT). TS, try to PM Batuchka for help.

Avoid overclocking the system as much as possible as the system would be more prone to cause artifects.

I ain't recommending that he overclock his system permanently though. Just do a soft overclock to ascertain that the CPU is not/is the problem.

AFAIK, artifacts appear when the overclock is too high. Slight overclock should not have artifact appearing and should be safe for long period of use.

Noted.

Yeah, maybe good to try as a temporary solution.

try overclock the processor to higher speed... it should help u will need to find out wat is the suitable core volt that is stable for ur overclock processor to maintain at the overclock speed . u will also need to buy a better cpu cooler for it , to keep the load temp as cool as possible.. thus it will allow ur overclock processor to last longer witout any worry. don use the amd stock cooler.. it is pretty useless. it unable to keep the processor temp as cool as possible.

u can look for thermalright or meh ..... both brand of cpu coolers are the high-end coolers that able to keep ur overclock processor as cool as possible.

normally, these kind of 6 core processor don even need to overclock at all 1.... it is more capable in dealing wit most high-end programs witout any worry @ stock speed.

most of the people recommend this processor to the consumers if they are into photoshop and video editing.

Is it? I thought a slight bump (0.3GHz) won't raise temperatures a single bit?

Blucifer · May 30th, 10, 04:17 PM

hey guys,

really appreciate your inputs.. sorry for the late reply as i was busy for the past week.

hmm.. honestly, i have no idea how to do a soft/hard overclock as i have no experience in overclocking before, but it does sound dangerous.. lol

I think it's software side problem. You have to wait for Adobe to have new updates.
I remembered similar cases happened for CS4.
