What can make Lightroom Classic faster? Update! After this video, look at the update [ Ссылка ]

The CPU? The GPU? The version of LRc? Your drives?

Summary : If you buy a more recent CPU for your machine, that will have the most impact on LRc performance. Since the Intel processor are a little bit lagging behind, I would recommand the AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors released at the end of 2020 at the time of releasing this video. See the video for details!

We will test these components or reference to it in this video to see if it does change the performances!
- Versions of LRc?
- CPU's Old vs New?
- Disk SSD, Hard Drive, intelnal or External?
- What Graphic card should I buy? GPU on or GPU OFF?
- Explaining the LRAlexTest[version] plugin test


* Official Adobe how to make LRc more optimize and faster
- Update to the most recent version of Lightroom
- Exceed minimum system requirements below!
- 64bits multiple core processor (6 cores+)
- 12 GB of RAM (and more!)
- SSD for the catalog and previews.



In other words, everything is pointing that the Engineering team, do not know what to do with the GPU.


*Recap. New CPU (AMD 5000x series), 16GB RAM, do not use a external mecanical drive, the GPU does not really matter, and update your LRc version.


* Unofficial how to make LRc faster (Unofficial in like : not really on the Adobe website)
- Buy a new CPU! If your processor is 5 years old or more, and found LR slow, you know where to start.
- If your images are on an external hard drive, get an internal drive (7200rpm+) OR an external SSD drive AND make sure you are on USB3.0 or more. See the link below for Jeff Harmon great research about that!

Jeff Harmon extensive research on catalog & pictures vs internal or external SSD or spinning drives performance with LRc!
Summary : Dont put your picture on an external spinning drive! All the rest, you should be good and wont have big difference in performance!
