I'm using the latest xxx.7323 driver from october. Stock driver from Lenovo gave same results.

Blender 2.79 runs smooth as does Houdini. But 2.8-81 is extremely slow. Moving a cube trails after the mouse.
Let me know if there is anything I can do.

This seems to be becoming a frequent problem.
A major refactor has been made in blender 2.81's Draw Manager, but as far as I know, this shouldn't affect Intel GPUs.
To fix this problem, we may need to have this setup available.

For anyone experiencing this problem, could you provide system-info.txt? (generated in Help -> Save System Info).
There is a complete information about the Blender version and graphics cards.

@fclem, any idea what it might be?

any chance of any of you instal linux on this device.. and try blender? to see is this maybe W10 related issiue?

also does the problem goes away if u switch to cycles?

Interesting:

  • When blender starts up: Render Engine is set to Eevee and performance is sluggish
  • If render engine is set to Cycles (even without switching the viewport shading): Performance is improved
  • If render engine is then switched back too Eevee: Performance remains similar to when cycles was enabled. (= not sluggish)

For those observations the "viewport shading" is always left untouched.

@Viiince yeah it is known issiue at least for me.. for some strange reason intel GPU's have problem with eevee speciallly window of material preview.

After modeling with the software for more than 10 min, it acted totally normal and was very smooth.

Solution here:

Another observation, if you changed computer BIOS Setting (Computer performance mode) it will solve the problem:
how did i change: (i got Lenovo S740, so i am assuming all Lenovo can have same solution), now it run smooth right from the start.

turn on computer
open start menu and click restart (while holding down left shift on your keyboard)

Select: Troubleshoot, Advance Options, UEFI Setting (Might also be called BIOS, depends on your machine)

then change the configuration of Preference mode from Quite/ Intelligent to: Performance:

Wanted to chip in here that I am seeing the same issue on 13" Surface Laptop 3 i5-1035G7, with latest Intel drivers on updated windows with all versions of Blender available above 2.8 (smooth on 2.79).

HOWEVER, today I installed Ubuntu linux (18.04) on the same device using the Surface Linux Kernel and tested out Blender 2.81a. And lo - it's buttery smooth! Let me know if there is any helpful debugging information I can provide. Perhaps this suggests an issue in the OpenGL implementation on Windows?

Seems I am suffering from the same or a very similar issue.

UI behaves fine initially, then gets laggy, seemingly only after a few minutes.
I have not noticed anything other than time be the cause.

I run Arch Linux, and compile Blender from git source.

Noticed the issue since 2.81 if I'm not mistaken. Though I also seem to remember early 2.81 being fine. Not certain.

If I can provide any useful info, pease ask. I'm not sure where to begin debugging this kind of issue - sorry.

@tihkal-4 Since you build from git source you could try to git bisect to find the commit that introduced the regression.

@fclem thanks - I'll look into it.

Just ran quick test. Opened blender from scratch and left it open with default cube.
After some time, came back and the lag was there.

I generally run Blender with optirun blender to use nvidia gpu.
Currently doing the same without optirun. As yet, no lag, so looking like a GPU driver issue perhaps.

Currently compiling 2.79 to check if that now has the issue (assuming GPU driver) - it never suffered before.

And will also do the bisect as you suggested to see if I can glean more info.

@fclem so - I guess there's not much point in doing the git bisect procedure.
Re-compiled 2.79 which never gave me trouble, ran it with optirun, left it alone and again, experienced the lag.

Looks like this (at least for me) is an nvidia driver issue.

Where the hell do I start dealing with them?
Or is there another possibility I haven't considered?

Note, if not clear already, I'm using the closed source nvidia drivers, not mesa.

@tihkal-4, you shouldn't be testing with the dedicated card, but with the integrated one (as reported in other users' system-info.txt)

Intel(R) Iris(R) Plus Graphics Intel 4.5.0 - Build 25.20.100.7011

Problems with your GeForce GTX 960M/PCIe/SSE2 are most likely unrelated.

@mano-wii sorry I didn't realise.
But if I don't use the dedicated card, I can't use CUDA with GPU, only CPU (I assume CPU in this case is using the integrated card?)

Having said that, it seems if I don't use optirun I can still use the dedicated card (though I don't remember this behaviour in the past).
It would appear then, that I only have the problem when using optirun and as it now seems I don't have to, I guess I can stop making noise here.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the trouble.

@b.c.m.janssen you should not have removed your comment - I think it was valid. In trying to find a similar issue rather than post a new one, I kind of hijacked this.
Apologies.

edit: I now also realise mano-wii was pointing also at my issue being unrelated to this one.
I'm gonna get some sleep and say a final sorry for posting this here.
Mods can feel free to remove my posts.
If my issue continues, I'll open a separate report.

Hi all!

Please all try to turn off Anti-Aliasing in Preferences , "half solve" this solves this problem on my tablet Cube Mix Plus with Intel 610

Lag happens even on my Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti.

Wonder why default settings are with AA at near full ?! Or maybe AA implementation has some bugs to iron out cause happens on two manufacturers on Win10

@numarul7 Old AA implementation was really buggy and not optimal. In 2.82 it has been rewritten and is way more lightweight.

Hi all, if nothing worked try this:
To solve lagging issue, simply go to blender folder and delete "opengl132.dll" file. And open your blender as usual. This worked for me very well.

There is no "opengl132.dll" file in my Blender. The tutorial you linked is for an older version, 2.79. Do you know an equivalent for 2.80+?

That opengl32.dll shouldn't have been there in the first place.
So it's not a fix.
Somehow it appeared there.

I'm using old type of laptop that doesn't even have such Nvidia graphic. And I use blender 2.81
I tried different ways to solve this issue and deleting that file was solution for me and I thought this solution could help some others.

We received a laptop that allows us to replicate the issue. I will do some performance measurements to see what part of the drawing is causing this issue. Using the Debug value 22 the draw manager measures extreme performance issues in the Background part.

I detect that even when there isn't any 3d viewport it is extreme slow. So I expect that the draw manager isn't the issue and we need to dive much deeper.

When opening a single area and changed the area types at first it seemed that the property area was really slow. But later it recovered. Even when using the 3d viewport as a single area is working better. But it seems that inside the driver it is lacking.

Note: Not related to this issue: viewport is always redrawn when the transform operator is active. Which could be improved to only schedule a redraw when a value has changed.

I have been profiling and have identified 2 areas that are really slow.

  1. The OCIO shader. This can be tested by settings the Display Device to None in the Color Management tab. When done the Image editor and 3D Viewport performance is within acceptable bandwidth. We need to check where in OCIO this is an issue and if other applications have the similar issues.
  2. Panel drawing (text in the UI). best noticeable when hovering over properties that the on mouse over color is slowly behind. Or looking at the performance difference when the Object property tab is active or not.

The issues could also be related to the use of OpenGL intermediate mode wrapper. If it is the case that the driver doesn't like temporary VBO/IBO's it would be a huge undertaking to get this issue fixed.

Side note: On the provided machine I wasn't able to start Blender 2.79b at all.

My Device with this issue (Surface Pro 7, 10th gen Intel® Core™ i7-1065G7 + Intel Iris Plus Graphics (GT2 @ 1.1GHz)) Runs 2.79b perfectly so that seems really strange if your provided machine is having the same issue.

I'm having the same problem with my Lenovo S340 with an i7-1065G7. It also runs 2.79b perfectly.

Just wanted to add that the issue persists on the Surface Laptop 3 i7-1065G7 @ 1.30GHz 16GB RAM. I asked my friend and he says the same happens on his Surface Pro 7 with the same configuration.

What's even stranger is, if I set the render mode to Cycles and switch my viewport shading to "Rendered", it runs smoother than in any other view mode, even though it is literally rendering.
I really hope we can find at least a temporary workaround for this, I pretty much got this computer for Blender.

Exactly the same issues for me on my Surface Pro 7 i7 - 1065G7 16GB RAM / Windows 10 Pro 1909 and up-to-date. I'm using Blender 2.82a.

Same performance issues and also works well when switching to Cycles and rendered viewport. Any other mode is unusable.

DESKTOP-P02E5NG.04-06-2020.11-19-41.etl

After each run other stuff become the bottleneck. During this try I see 2 parts that are causing the slowness

  1. Drawing of the drag handles of each panel
  2. Performing color management.

the drawing of the drag handles can be improved on our side by implementing it as a glsl shader.
the color management is still unclear where this bottleneck lies. as it is just drawing a single triangle with a fragment shader. It could be that the fragment shader from OCIO is not optimized for this platform.

I will start with the drag handles and measure after this what we could improve.

D7345: GPU: Panel Drag Widget Drawing Performance improved the performance. Current bottleneck seems to be in the way how OCIO shaders are used and how we could move it to a GPUBatch.

On Lenovo C940 (ice lake with iris graphics) with Linux Manjaro and latest kernel, performance is still very bad i.e. a simple cube animation gives 5 fps, CPU at 100% also on performance mode set on BIOS, and antialias disabled. Switching to Cycles doesn't help neither switching at different drawing modes.
I'm going to sell this brand new pc since this bug is still unsolved and like this, blender 2.82a is unusable

After D7357: GPUViewport: Use GPUBatch for viewport drawing the bottleneck shifts to icon rendering. It is responsive, but still not on par with previous generations.

@Jeroen-Bakker Good work! Keep Going!

@Jeroen-Bakker Good work! Keep Going!

I don't know what it is in the immediate mode code that causes performance issues. But some random ideas that might help:

  • Use a separate array buffer for strict_vertex_len on/off, maybe switching flags is problematic.
  • Allocate a separate array buffer per size (perhaps rounded up to a power of two) and always copy the full size of the buffer.
  • Use glBufferData to copy data from own allocated memory instead of using glMapBufferRange.
  • Use a big buffer that can fit data for e.g. 100 immediate mode draw calls instead.

FYI, the April 10 build did fix viewport performance massively from 6-12 FPS to a very nice 30 -70FPS for a primitive sphere on my Icelake i7 Surface laptop with integrated GPU.

I know the fix has been reverted but this gives me hope that I will be able to use Blender again.
Thanks.

Tried out the 2.83 experimental from April 16th and so far it feels good! The improved framerate seems on par with what I'd expect for integrated graphics. Any further optimization is a bonus at this point.

Thanks so much for addressing these issues and all the work. Also kind of cool to see THE brecht working on our issue :)

The blender 2.90 alpha also works much much better than what Blender 2.8x used to with a Surface Pro 7! Thank you so much for the amazing work! Resizing the 3D viewport and moving the window still cause some lag at times, but other than that it's massively improved! Super exciting!

Lowering the priority as it is in a workable state. I still want to improve as it is not on par with other platforms.

Latest test done against previous generation Intel Integrated graphics are that they are similar or just above. At this point we can close this issue as there is no specific work to be done.
While we do continue to work on improving performance in general, potential performance improvements are not handled as bug reports.

Hello everyone! I ran into the problem of a slow interface and I FIX IT.

My characteristics:

  • Laptop Dell Inspiron 15570
  • GPU: Nvidia Geforce 1050 and Intel HD Graphics 630
  • CPU: Intel i5-7300HQ
  • Blender: 2.82a

Two graphics cards are installed in the laptop: NVIDIA Geforce 1050 and Intel HD Graphics 630. It turned out that the video card from Intel is not detected in the system. After turning it off in the device manager, the blender began to work quickly. However, after rebooting the blender, it again worked slowly. For it to work well, you had to enable and disable the video card from Intel. Later, I decided to update the drivers for the Intel graphics card from the official website and it began to display correctly in the system. The blender began to work quickly without complaints.
