    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…

    Just started to learn and use InDesign today, and I'm totally amazed how outdated it is.

    Just one hour of delving in the app brought up so many issues that if I could do my project in some other software, I would. No scrubby zoom, over all feeling of UI is quite terrible. Navigation between pages etc really clumsy. And no GPU-Acceleration!?!

    Maybe Adobe thinks that AI is going to do all the layout-out soon and just stopped to develop this antique piece of software. I feel bad for those that have to use InDesign daily. Maybe they don't know better, how good the UI/UX can be when it is well done.

    I started to learn InDesign today, and first thing I learned is that it doesn't have scrubby zoom. In 2023? How that is even possible?

    My frustration with Adobes inability to fix basic UI issues across their product line is getting unbearable. I wish they would concentrate on basics for a while, instead of AI toys.
