    I've just opened a file i built a while back in 2020 (Symphony on mac, in case it matters) in 2021, and the rendered graphics in live view (automatic, favour performance) use significantly more GPU resources and movement effects are very steppy - the mac is visibly struggling to render it to the point of being useless.

    Opening it in 2020 again, and it it renders nice and smoothly, with no issues.

    I'm just wondering if anything significant has changed between versions in terms of GPU? and if there are plans to introduce a legacy graphics mode?

    While I don't know the answer to your specific question.

    I'm currently using the same GPU with OSX and with the file I'm working on (which has a fair number of multi cell units), 2021 appears to put 25-50% more load on the GPU acording to Activity Monitor.

    There are no plans to introduce any legacy graphics options. Have you tried using non automatic quality settings to see if it make a difference on your system? In the event that you still need support for your issues, and you have not emailed us already, please email the details to support@ 

    Don't forget to install any updates on your system and of course use the latest capture version before you contact support.
