My video card doesn't support LR's graphics processor acceleration.
Now that I'm using 24 MP cameras I'm finding LR lags while loading previews for editing.
If I use the healing brush, performance suffers again. Even scrolling through images for tagging and key wording takes more time to draw the preview. Older files of lesser size aren't so affected of course.
I'm running with i5CPU, 2.67GH, 8GB RAM. Radeon HD 4600 series v/card (no open GL support).
LR & PS creative cloud.
I'm thinking upgrade in order of priority...
Has anyone recently found a speed increase by upgrading those three key elements? Or even from the graphics card upgrade on it's own? And which graphics card did you install?
thanks for looking, Ivan

- video card to support LR's acceleration
- SSD scratch disk
- Double the RAM
