4k / Retina Display Lag

Post by ChristopherC »

Hello all,

I recently upgraded my system to an M1 mac (coming from a 2015 MacBook), the only problem now is if the resolution of my cintiq is set to 4k, pretty much every brush i use starts to seriously lag. I've done the usual fixes (open in low resolution, turning on 'boost line smoothness') which both help a bit. A working compromise is those fixes and then setting the resolution to ~2k, and everything runs great that way, but it's unfortunate that i can't use the full 4k display like i could on a significantly weaker laptop running the 32-bit version. I'd be happy to hear if anyone has any insights or fixes, or if any of this is on the radar to be solved in the future?

Thanks!
Xavier

Regarding the 32-bit thing, you already know the answer there ;)

(Editing my response to add more information) This issue has been encountered by a few other users and seems difficult to fix, because our main lead is that it is mainly linked to how MacOS handle multiple displays, especially when one of them is a Cintiq. I think we will need to do more testing with a 4K Cintiq.
