Cura much slower on new, fast PC

Posted (edited) · Cura much slower on new, fast PC

Hi,

I used to run Cura on a Thinkpad with 5th Generation i7, 2 cores, no GPU.

Now I upgraded to a Thinkpad with 11th Gen. i7, 4 cores and an RTX3050ti GPU. 

Both 16GB RAM.

Cura runs much slower in every aspect. The slicing itself is slightly slower, but the scrolling through layers (right slider in Preview tab) is so laggy, it's almost unusable.

 

Maybe two noteworthy differences:

- I'm now dealing with 4k, vs. FullHD display, but then again, this thing has a proper GPU to drive that.

- new notebook runs Windows 11, while old one runs 10.

 

One more thing: I had to re-install Curo once, because it froze always after a changing a few slicing settings.

 

Any clue what this could be and how to fix it?

    Sorry, please close, or delete this topic. It's much fast indeed (35 sec vs. 1:45min for the same job)

    No idea what was wrong. I re-installed Cura several times due to the freezing, and while it still freezes, the speed issues are gone now.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
