GPU Performance causes lag on RTX 4000 Ada – CPU rendering is smoother
Illustrator version: 2026 (30.1)
OS: Windows 11
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada
Driver: NVIDIA Studio 591.59
Description:
When GPU Performance is enabled, Illustrator becomes less responsive (lag during zoom, pan and object manipulation).
Disabling GPU Performance makes Illustrator significantly smoother and more responsive.
This happens even on empty or simple documents.
The issue is reproducible and does not depend on file complexity.
Expected behavior:
GPU acceleration should improve performance, not reduce it.
