I wonder why Illustrator performance on my Dell XPS 15 with i7, 32GB RAM, and 1050GX GPU is so much slower scrolling in Illustrator than my old i7 MBP with much older GPU?
I assumed that the Surface Pro, which at least through model 4 was Intel GPU only, would be even worse...
- dawnerd 9y agoI tried an xps last year with an i7 and it was slow as well. Turns out it was thermal throttling like crazy. Returned it right away and just stuck with a MacBook Pro. Do miss all that ram though.
- blunte 9y agoThanks for this tip. I did some digging and found that even on AC power, the thing was set by default to throttle down to 5% CPU power whenever possible. I guess there's some ramp-up latency when demand hits, and that was creating the performance problems I had. After setting the min CPU at 100%, it performs almost as well as my 3 year older MBP.
