OrcaSlicer UI Slow to respond when changing settings tabs

Describe the bug There is about a 1 second delay when clicking the settings tabs (Quality, Strength, Speed, Support, Other), and possibly other slow performance in the UI, but this is the most noticable. It may not sound like much but it increases frustrating when changing a lot of settings.

Attached screen capture shows when the click event occurred so you can see the time between click and UI load.

I'm on Windows 11, Threadripper 2950X, Nvidia 2080Ti, 32gb ram. Fresh/new install of Orca 1.6.2

I have the same problem. Especially after slicing complex models, the preview interface is very slow and freezes.

This happens to me too, on Win 10. Switching tabs takes almost an entire second. Scrolling is slow too.

There is an issue with how Bambu Studio/Orca work with graphics cards. You might try settings/graphics and change Orca to use the energy saving setting. I gave details in a previous issue that you can search for using "graphics"

My desktop only has an Nvidia GPU so I don't have the energy saving setting which makes it run on the integrated Intel GPU.

I also only have 1 dedicated Nvidia GPU

Do you have G-Sync enabled for windowed applications? Try switching G-Sync to full screen - fixed it for me. Even scrolling is fast now.

I have G-sync turned off. Tried turning it on and setting it to full-screen just in case, still didn't help.

I have gsync on full screen but I tried swapping to windowed mode and I dont think it made a difference. I did notice that Orca feels worse if the monitor refresh rate is low, but its only marginal. Even at 120hz its still laggy.

I tried a few program specific settings in Nvidia control panel but nothing I changed made much difference.

PS: I thought Orca was working better after I recently formatted my PC, but I think I just got used to the lag.

Orca 1.8.0. Same issue. Scrolling inside the tabs is painfully slow too. Windows 10, RTX 3080, 5950X. GPU is set to performance mode in Nvidia Control Panel | Manage 3D settings.

160Hz screen refresh.

It also affects Bamboo Studio 1.7.7.89.

Orca 1.8.1 Same for me scrolling is very slow. Win 11 Nvidia 2070 Super

Same here, Orca 1.9.0 Windows 11 Pro Rayzen 9 3900X RTX 2070 Super 128GB RAM Motherboard MPG X570 Plus There is an obvious delay between navigating tabs, There is no way my PC ain't able to handle it, it must be a software problem!

Orca 1.9.0, Windows 11 Pro Scrolling inside tabs is terribly slow. I turn the mouse wheel slightly and I have to wait a few seconds for it to scroll.

Orca 1.9.0, Windows 11 Pro here also. 7950x3D, RAM 64Gb, RTX 3090.

At that point it's clear that it's not hardware related. However it clearly prevents me from using this brilliant piece of software as a daily driver. Hope it could be resolved soon because the rest is lovely!

Orca 1.9.0, Windows 11 Pro Intel 10900 RTX2080 Tabs are slow both on intel and nvidia GPUs

Jan 29 '24 11:01 ElvisTheKing

I have the same problem. Switching tabs takes very long and scrolling is stuttering. Ryzen 3700x, 32GB RAM, Windows 11, OrcaSlicer 1.9.0

However, I got the Linux version running on Windows with WSL. It is just as snappy as you would expect...

i have the same problem on WQHD-resolution (2560px) in full screen (2 wqhd screens/multimonitor) and 144hz.. resizing the window helps a bit

Feb 03 '24 20:02 h3rm

I have this same issue, 2x Xeon x5690, 96GB RAM, Radeon RX 6600, WIN 11, Orca Slicer 1,9,0 (and an old 1.7.0 and a 2.0.0 beta from FlashForge Official's fork too all have the issue so it's been around for a while and it's not going away).
