I got an update for you @Brian. I went ahead and updated Lightroom to 14.5 and even with the damn 5070 the performance was 💩 I'm not gonna entirely blame Lightroom for it as Windows 11 as it is is now sh!t itself... So I went back to 14.3.1 and see how we move from here. It is in deed really crappy having to put up with all this bull after having spent lots of money on what it is supposed to be a good system. Adobe can go really stick a finger in their belly button...

It is indeed only money... worse case, I'll repurpose the beast I got as a gaming system to play retro games and side scrollers on Steam to drop another 4K on a Mac Mini and and a new monitor (which I'm already looking at as it is LOL)... And yes... I do notice a difference in AI performance and Lightroom itself. I can only hope at this point that Windows improves 11's performance from now on. Thanks for the tip of not updating. I think I would like Lr as it is now for a while for the work I do.

I just updated to the latest (14.5) in hopes it will be better than the 💩 14.4. Auto updates are off and from what I've seen, I'm probably gonna stay there for a while. On a side note... Win 11 sucks 😅 Thank you for all of your help, sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

If this doesn't make it better... I swear to baby Jesus I'm moving to Mac. I'll be editing tonight and report results tomorrow.

I'm installing that SoaB on tomorrow... thank you very much.

Are you telling me I already need to look into a damn new 5070 or something?

I use all three... each for a different purpose.

Is anyone else experiencing a massive slow performance in Lightroom with its latest 14.4 update or is it just me? Current system: i7-13700K Nvidia 3070 64GB DDR5 RAM Tried it on both, Win 10 and Win 11. Seriously thinking of moving to Mac as much as I'd like to avoid it...

Looks like it may be a pain. Considering it will just be about $120, I'll keep it and mess with it. I may even overcome the fear of opening it up and upgrade it. Maybe a nice "media display" for the patio 😄 Thanks!

To be more specific, it is model MNE92LL/A.

Hey Brian, I will be getting discounted iMac (cheap) from work. It is a 2017 model with an i5-7500) 3.4 GHz. I plan on (hopefuly be able) to install an SSD and max out the RAM. Would that be sufficient to run LR and Ps somewhat smoothly? LOL If not, with that being said, could I still use that iMac as a display without going the AirPlay route? Thanks!

@Brian, just wanted to come back and report on this issue. I decided to install Win 10 Home and my goodness... what a difference! Now I feel good about the money I spent on that machine. Everything runs great and fast! Who would have thought Win 11 would suck that much (at least for me). Thanks for your support on this matter.

Hey @Brian, there is no way to buy a legit key for Windows 10 anymore, is there?

FML... *sigh* Thanks again, Brian.

Dude... I'm on an R6 LOL... I did get the specific drivers from Nvidia... Would Windows 11 be the problem too? It is also certainly not acting the same as 10. There are some weird things happening. Can I downgrade without loosing data? Do I need to purchase 10 separately? I stupidly went straight for 11...
