[QUOTE="gblader, post: 1918804, member: 21437"] I work with PowerPoint slides that are 54" by 54" and use two 32" external monitors at 2k. Every time I zoom in/out, move things around, duplicate items, it's quite laggy and I have to wait for it to catch up. I'm only working with basic shapes and text boxes. I plan on doing some video editing later on in FinalCut Pro X, but the files will be screen recordings - nothing crazy like 4K video. [LIST] [*]Will an external graphics card help with this? [*]If so, any recommendations? [/LIST] Here are the specs I have: [LIST] [*]Macbook pro 15-inch 2018 [*]2.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 [*]16GB Ram 2400 MHz DDR4 [*]Radeon Pro 555X 4GB [*]Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB [/LIST] Don't want to go too overboard that would create a bottleneck, but would like to upgrade to a MacBook Air M2 in the future. Thanks so much for your help with this guys. J. [/QUOTE]
