Archicad lags when I have two or more instances open along with Chrome.

First, I'd like to apologize if this is not the right place to look for a solution to my problem — I'm new here.

 

The issue I'm having is the following: when I have two or more instances of Archicad open along with any web browser, the Archicad interface lags — the toolbars and palettes flicker as seen in the video and it takes a long time to respond. This gets worse if I have projects open. Archicad responds normally if I close the web browser I'm using, but this is a problem when I'm in a meeting.

 

I have tried several browsers — Google Chrome, Edge, Mozilla, and Brave — and the issue persists. It also happens across multiple versions of Archicad: 27, 28, and currently 29.

 

The PC I work on has the following specs:

Windows 11 Pro

Intel i7-10700K

NVIDIA RTX 3070

32 GB RAM 3600 MT/s

 

Archicad is installed on an NVMe SSD and I save my files on a separate SSD.

All drivers are up to date, as are the Archicad versions


Lastly, I forgot to mention that I use 3 monitors.

 

Operating system used: Windows 11 25H2

Open the Windows Resource Monitor and see if you are maxing out your RAM. Other than Mozilla, the other browsers mentioned are all Chromium based which tend to have a very liberal on their RAM usage. I have also used over 40GB of RAM with just two models open before...

I am not using all my RAM — as seen in the video, I have two instances of Archicad open with new files and only two tabs open in Chrome. Resources are not the issue.

Still looking?
