#ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CC 2015 SLOW PERFORMANCE HOW TO#

The software needs to know how to use the extra power and (as with the multiple cores that don't get used) Adobe software isn't the best at this and Macs do not generally play nice with third party external CPUs / GPUs. I've worked at a couple of places that trialled such devices and the speed increase was negligible, if noticeable at all. I would not recommend any external GPUs that I have ever seen for Mac. Adobe Illustrator (and Photoshop, Indesign, etc) is very greedy with RAM and very inefficient with files sizes so the more headroom the better. It's also worth considering the speed of the storage if you are working with big files and (hopefully) saving them regularly, but most new Macs have SSDs by default now. The speed shift from a Mac with 8GB RAM to the same machine with 32GB RAM (particularly when running Adobe stuff) can be astonishing. If you're sticking with Mac, then buying the fastest CPU and GPU that you can afford will get you part / most of the way to the speed that you want, but having lots of RAM will make just as much (if not more) difference. Next up will be testing with a computer that has a major GPU.

Update oct 2017: I have now tested my document on a Windows computer with one of the fastest desktop processors out there right now, the i7 4.0 Ghz and it wasn't that much faster to be honest.

Macbook Pro 2015, 2,5 GHz Intel Core i7 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB and 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3Īlso I should note that when working with my documents Illustrator runs at 100% of CPU constantly.

I mean since Illustator still(!) only uses one core from the CPU I guess it's all about gigahertz when it comes to CPU?Ī lot of questions in one post here but the main issue is: how should I think when it comes to make Illustrator fast?Įdit: I should perhaps add my current config:

Would it get a lot faster if I for instance install an external GPU to my Macbook Pro or should I forget Mac and go for a Windows computer? I need to know what's most important – fast CPU or GPU? Now I'm looking for a setup that will make life smoother for me. Selecting a region changes the language and/or content on 'm working with extremely large illustrator files on a MacBook Pro 2015. This will reduce the period of time available for the laptop to function before needing to find a power source. Important consideration: Using the add-on GPU device causes power consumption to rise and significantly reduce battery life while operating on battery power. This causes the computer to default to the add-on GPU.

Use hardware device manager software to disable the on-board GPU.

For example, for NVIDIA GPUs, you can use the NVIDIA Control Panel to set a global option that ensures the default GPU used for all display functionality uses the NVIDIA hardware.

In your Operating System settings, ensure that the add-on GPU is used as the default to drive all display functionality.

Using your BIOS settings, ensure that the add-on GPU is used by default.

Possible solutions: When you have an add-on GPU, to use GPU Performance features in Illustrator, ensure that the add-on GPU powers all the display-related functionality on your laptop.

If your add-on GPU is not rendering the laptop’s display, Illustrator will use the integrated GPU.

When launched, Adobe Illustrator uses the same hardware that drives the laptop’s display. Illustrator defaults to the integrated GPU. Cause: With laptops that have an on-board graphics card (integrated GPU) and an additional (add-on GPU), users are reporting that Adobe Illustrator does not pick the available add-on GPU.
