    Yeah...probably. Windows 11 still needs more time in the proverbial "Oven." I'm not touching it until I absolutely have to, and that's in 2025.

    Downgrade without losing data? Unless you JUST upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11, it's not very likely. Too risky. You would have to Nuke your main HD and install a fresh OS. What I would do is purchase a 1TB SSD Drive, like a Samsung 870 and swap out the current main drive. This way you can always go back in time if need be. I'm not sure how licensing will come into play, it is possible you can use the existing license key with Windows 10 that came from Windows 11, provided that it's the OEM Version. But you might have to contact MSFT on this one. Or you can install a copy of Windows 10 Pro and not activate it to see what happens with LR before you commit. I also highly recommend Windows 10 Pro, as it's easier to install things locally, (tell it you want to join a domain and then don't,) as the current "Home" editions FORCE you to add the license key to a Microsoft Account. I'd hate for you to spend $199 for Windows 10 Pro when you don't have to.

    FML... *sigh*

     

    Thanks again, Brian.

    Especially if you have a high Mega-Pixel count (45MP or more, Hell...even 36MP is high.)

    If you are able to run the NVIDIA Studio Drivers meant for your 3070, it should work fine. But you might want to call Adobe on this one. I'm kinda out of ideas.

    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...

    :(

  3. @Brian would there be a particular reason why disabling the GPU in the performance tab made increased performance a little bit? I feel my rig is pretty damn slow considering what I have. Sometimes it cant take up to 10 seconds to just open the masks section. Am I hallucinating?

     

    Also, would adding more RAM help?

     

    And yes, GPU drivers are up to date.

    Yep!  That’s what I wanted you to do. Are there any other drivers for your Motherboard? Specifically the Chipset Drivers? 

    So... I updated these drivers yesterday and noticed now that my keyboard and mouse take some time (about 30-45sec) to "start working" on my log in screen.

     

    Is that supposed to mean anything? LOL

    If you were a Gamer that Streams and a YouTuber, I would. For editing photos. Nope. Skip it. 

    Figured... so I skiped it.

     

    Side note... would you please allow me to buy you some tacos? I've played with this thing for a few minutes and so far I can tell a difference. One would expect Nvidia to install those drivers on its own... why wouldn't they!?!?!

     

    Thanks again, Brian!

    The RTX 3060. 

    There is about a 30% performance jump if you would have went with the 3070. 3080 is a little better and a 3090 is a waste of money when it comes to Adobe’s Products. So I always recommend a 3070 or 3080. 

    I think there is also another set of drivers from NVIDIA that works better. Might want to start there. 

    Man! I don't know what the heck I'm thinking... I do indeed have the 3070.

    Where do I exactly get or choose from those drivers? I thought that stuff was standard...

  7. I just build a system in hopes I'd get zero lag whatsoever with Lightroom, but for some reason every now and then still happens to lag a bit with simple tasks. I'm sure the program itself is not perfect, but with the set up I got, I was hopping to run as smooth as butter.

    i7 13700K
    RTX 3060
    32 GB DDR5-5600 CL36 RAM
    Samsung 2T 980 Pro

    Where did I mess up?
     

  8. Hey Damien,

    Just stopping by to show you how I edited a photo for you to check on color and brightness after I just calibrated my monitor. You helped me on this on FB. I know this photo may not be edited up to your strict standards, but feedback on the color and brightness is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  9. I am ready to upgrade my monitor (plus didn't notice it is not mountable 😒), and I went to Damien's guide. It was updated back in March and I was wondering if there has been anything worth mentioning that is out now (besides de fact that half of the monitors in the list are not available anymore).

    I'm looking at this Acer monitor. Would it be suficient?

    Thank you!
