Redraws lag badly.  This started when I swapped out a users PC which was about 6 years old where Layout ran great.  New PC is i7-12 with 32 GB RAM.  NVIDIA RTX A2000.  Really surprised by this.  Are there graphics card settings that might help?

Thanks!

Welcome to the group Bill!
My immediate thought to this would have been that there are large copper areas in the layout -which usually takes Layout a while to calculate.  But it was running ok before, so it could be a hardware setting as you suggest.  Have you looked at the properties settings for the graphics card (in Computer properties or System Devices thru Control Panel)?  Sometimes there are settings that can be tweaked manually...

Thanks for the quick response.  I have the user currently tweaking the NVIDIA Control Center settings.  That seems to be the most likely culprit.

I will post results.
