Lightroom crashes on Nvidia 5070 8gb laptop
Hello! I’m running into this situation with my brand-new Lenovo Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 16IAH10 laptop, with an Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285H processor, 64GB RAM, and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070 8GB graphics card. Every time I use AI-based functions like “mask,” “denoise,” or “generative remove,” the RAM usage increases a lot, to around 30%, and the program becomes extremely laggy. I have the latest NVIDIA Studio drivers installed. Lightroom is the subscription version, latest release 15.1.1.
I noticed it works much better if I disable GPU usage in the settings, but in that case the denoise function takes forever. I spent a lot of money on a top-tier configuration, but unfortunately it doesn’t live up to expectations. Has anyone else run into this problem?
