Eyedropper circle slow in rhino 8

I’ve been noticing that this eyedropper circle zoom is running very slow. When i move the mouse, the zoom circle crop update with heavy latence.

Hi, @johannavarro.art. Can you run Rhino’s SystemInfo command then send us the results as a reply here, please? We’ll be able to start helping you diagnose the issue, after reviewing your setup.

Hi, @johannavarro.art. After looking at your SystemInfo, I’d recommend two things.

  1. Update your NVIDIA graphics card driver to the latest Studio driver (not Game Ready), then test if the problem persists. Download The Latest Official NVIDIA Drivers, and specifically in your case, install this version 566.14 (Studio): Driver Details | NVIDIA
  2. If the problem still persists, then try running “Rhino 8 in Safe Mode” by searching for that in the Windows taskbar. This will start Rhino 8 without any of your plugins. If the problem goes away in Safe Mode, then it’s safe to say one of your plugins is causing the problem.

Let us know what happens, after attempting those two things first.

Got it, ill try that, but this doesn’t happen in my rhino 7 btw, only in rhino 8. And it have happened on 2 different machines. I’ll update this as soon as i can.
Thanks
