Premiere Pro Timeline performance issues

[Shftedcube]

Hello, everyone!

 

I have a tiny issue that's been bugging me for the past two weeks now. I do some lite video editing here and there and that is why I've been doing this on my laptop that has 16 GB of ram and an i3-5005u processor and it's been going perfect. Other than it's a laptop. It gets just the job done. Two weeks ago I got a desktop for free that has a AMD FX-8350 which has 6 more cores, higher base and boost clocks, more ram + it has a discrete gpu and it was not outperforming my laptop. The timeline scrubbing and playback was even worse. Is it just something in my workflow that I am doing wrong or are the AMD's FX series processors just that badly optimized. P.S. I'm using the newest premiere version and I know that the fx series cpu's are old.

Timeline is probably using cpu only without gpu acceleration. You may change it in settings but without good gpu it may not working.
