GPU-Acceleration on Windows
It would be brilliant to have this as an option especially since more and more people are using high DPI/4K displays and the CPU is not capable of allowing for smooth zooming/scrolling/panning in most cases. It's working perfectly fine with Photoshop and rather good with Illustrator so I can't see why this shouldn't be possible with InDesign as well.
On my 4K Dell XPS 15 it's quite a pain to scroll through the document or zoom in and out, laggy as hell although this is a very poweful machine!

Thank you all for supporting this feature request.
Moving the feature request to the product backlog.

Here's to 3 years of waiting, and counting, for Adobe to even acknowledge the existence of this thread... I guess Windows users should be grateful we aren't still running PageMaker 6.5?

GPU acceleration - using a graphics card to do graphics-intensive tasks that the CPU would otherwise have to do - has transformed 3D and compositing on desktop and laptop computers. Here's a short video from Eyon that illustrates this and is a good primer for anyone unfamiliar with the concept.

Still waiting. Still slow. Now it isn't even supported on 2020 mac???

Hey Adobe, why does "Scrubby" Zoom work perfectly fine in Photoshop and Illustrator on Windows 10, but InDesign gets left in laggy land? GPU obviously isn't the issue...

I’m impressed, I must say. Genuinely rarely can i encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the issue is something that too little individuals are speaking intelligently about.

Already 3,5 yrs available on Mac and still not on Windows.
I do not believe Windows userbase is that much smaller or less relevant... is it? Well Adobe seems to think so.

Seriously.... Developers...... WHAT!!!!!!!! Give me a good reason why there isn't Scrubby Zoom on Windows. Please! Just one good reason. When you find out you don't have any good reasons. Please add Scrubby Zoom asap.
Sincerely,
a paying customer

Discovered this morning that Microsoft Publisher has graphics acceleration. MICROSOFT PUBLISHER!!!! Why does this suggestion not even have a response from Adobe?

as usual, Adobe seems to never use its own software. -

I didn't know this wasn't available on Windows until I started working from home. Mac has a nice refined zoom tool for all Adobe software and Windows has it for every Adobe program EXCEPT InDesign. Why is that? The zoom tool in InDesign is currently clunky and annoying.

This is becoming more and more necessary as the files we use are increasing in resolution. Some of my layouts that include large vectors or big images are almost impossible to navigate, while my powerful GPU sits by doing nothing! Unacceptable.

It frustrates me that Adobe can roll out a UI refresh to make CC look like macOS Big Sur within days of the announcement, but for years we've had buggy inconsistent scaling and GPU performance on Windows. I can't think of any InDesign features added since CS6 that I couldn't live without. GPU acceleration is the SINGLE feature that would transform the experience to match that of the £49 Affinity Publisher.
I hope this will change but with the development needed for ARM based macs, I suspect we'll be waiting a long time for any love on Windows. Prove me wrong Adobe, please.

Any updates @Adobe?

Indesigns Performance is really not acceptable anymore, especially when comparing to other software.
I'm sitting here on a new maxed-out Threadripper Win10-machine; it's absolutely awesome what this machine can do in, for example, Cinema4D+Redshift, zBrush and other highly demanding software.
Then I switch to Indesign and man... it's just like 1998 again. Adobe, please! It's just 2D! Make it liquid butter!
