1. 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!

   GPU Acceleration on Windows is available with the latest InDesign 2025(v20.4.0.052). Please update to the latest InDesign via the CCD app to get this feature.

   The minimum system requirements for using GPU Acceleration on

   1. Windows are: Monitor with a display resolution greater than 2K
   2. GPU card with at least 1GB vRAM.

   Note on GPU Acceleration: High-resolution monitors are becoming the standard. With the high monitor resolutions, it is getting difficult for the CPU to handle the rendering. This is where the GPU comes into play. Rendering on high-density displays is best handled by the GPU. GPU acceleration makes the rendering of the documents faster while zooming, scrolling, and panning. The enhanced performance from using the GPU in InDesign powers features like Animated Zoom, which make zoom actions smooth and animated.

   Based on our internal tests, we found that GPU acceleration provides better performance when the monitor's display resolution is greater than 2K and the GPU has at least 1GB vRAM. Hence, these have been set as the minimum system requirements.

   You can read more about the GPU feature here:

   For any issue related to GPU Acceleration on Windows, please provide below information:

   • Display adapters in Device Manager (Ensure that the display cable is connected to the GPU port on machines with dual display ports for proper rendering)
   • Display settings (To access the GPU feature on Windows, the monitor should have a resolution above 2K.)
   • Share the IDSniffer file available at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version 20.0\en_US\Caches\GPULog\IDSniffer
