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.

Totally agree - working with a high-end PC in InDesign is slower than working on an old Macbook... Please, please make GPU acceleration available for Windows / Nivida GPUS.

It has been years since this request. This is mind boggling.

I would love for this to be available on Windows. I'm a frequent user of InDesign but am really wanting to move away from MacOS. The lack of GPU Acceleration for InDesign on Windows is shocking, and also happens to be a point of hesitance in moving away from my MacBook at the moment.
It really undermines the purchase of a new Windows machine with a powerful GPU if it can't be utilized by one of the programs I would be using most.

No response from Adobe? Why is this not available?

Oh, I use a 2018 era Ryzen Threadripper 2950X with 128GB RAM, 3 Samsung 970 Pro 1TB drives (Windows, Apps, Swap), 4 850 Pros in RAID 10 for file storage, dual RTX2080s and a 1024x768 14" monochrome crt. Wait. That can't be right. InDesign seems to think I should be using a 1024x768 monochrome crt. So much for dual 4k monitors. At least Photoshop and Illustrator know what century my hardware is from. Sorry for posting again so soon, but I am incredibly frustrated, Adobe. When I go to work and see how InDesign operates on an iMac from 2015 it makes me want to cry.

It's very heartening to see all the attention that Adobe has spent on this issue. Clearly, they value their customers' feedback and needs. There are so many positive and reassuring posts from Adobe representatives, showing that they plan on implementing GPU acceleration in Windows within the time frame of the next InDesign CC update. I am very happy that I have been a loyal Adobe customer since 1998. They are a shining example of how a creative software company should operate. There is no reason for me to look elsewhere...

I thought I was the only one with this issue, had to google it. I can't believe this isn't supported on Windows. Why hasn't adobe addressed this in any way?!

Same case here... This is the last layout I do using InDesign... Switching to Affinity Publisher.

Aside from MathML, this is now the top-ranking request for InDesign without a response from Adobe. Please can we have this at least acknowledged?
As paying subscribers we were told that Creative Cloud would accelerate the development and innovation of our software tools... We're not even asking for that, just basic performance to bring the software to the level macOS users experience, or Windows users of the £49 one-off Afininty Publisher even. Come on Adobe.

May we please have an engineer or someone from Adobe at least give us an idea of where this feature is in the development pipeline?

Yes please! What is the real reason behind Adobe not doing this for windows? Adobe, please please can we have this feature already?

I would love GPU acceleration on Windows! It's sad that my 7 year old MacBook runs inDesign faster, graphically, than my high performance PC. You'd think Adobe would implement this, since they already have support in Premiere and After effects.

As a PC and MacBook pro user I couldn't agree more on this. Last time when I was trying to make a portfolio about 20 pages only. My Mac would run it all very smoothly but once I swapped to my PC which has better performance in nearly every component, it lagged out and was a far worse experience compared to my mac. Atleast I still have a mac and can swap if it is required. But people who don't have it canno choose.... But atleast we all pay the subscribtion.!

Why is GPU Support for Windows/Indesign not already running yet?
Other vendors have still good and fast running...
Plaes give soon a feedback when we can start with GPU Power in Indesign on Windows Systems...
Otherwise the way leads to other products, which support GPU (for ex. NVidia Quad) under Windows 10...
It is no option for us to use old MACs ;-) -

I've just compared the same file on a 2012 Mac mini with Win 10 9900k, 64Gb RAM, GTX2060 machine and the Mac mini is far better performance. Adobe this is just not good enough.
Affinity publisher is fantastic though... Maybe now is the time to move the studio over to Affinity? It would perform better and save a fortune.

Adobe take care of this!! This is ridiculous and very annoying. I can't believe this has not been taken care of already.

It's a shame. InDesign is not enabling my GPU and I'm using a 4K DELL XPS 7590. I switched to Windows (being a Mac user for almost 15 users) only for professional programs... and this is the result of the switch.
Go to ****. -

Don't bother posting here. they don't care. As long as they're making money on newbie-interfaces and Spark why would they waste money on modernizing the pig?
Look at the comments here. You guys are turning into a punchline. Way to Corel!
