I wonder if there is any way to improve the refresh of the material slot as it is sooo slow compared to competitors..I mean reay annoying and I have a decent spec both GPU and CPU ( 2 x 1070 - i7 6850K 32GB )

same here. When I choose a material it takes 10-20 seconds sometimes to update or go through material options. It seems that octane 1.5 and even 2 was faster with material update and I have new titan xp pascal just for UI and it is not used for rendering.

Hi,
what I could recommend is to try like this.

it still feels slow. Opening material dialog and waiting 5-10 seconds to update. Clicking on material waiting 3-4 seconds for it to show settings, going through sub materials like mix same story. .I am using old fashion compact material i9-7900x, nvme and titan Xp I thought this should fly through

i have the same problem on a 7 x GTX1070 system...super super slow MAT EDITOR

Hi guys,
I'm sorry about material editor issue, because it does not seem to happen in my case.
could you try this?:
1) connect your less performing graphics card to monitors, then 3dsMax> Render> Render Setup> Devide (tab)> inactivate that graphics card and apply.
2) try like in the screenshot.
Get back to you if anything changes, I would like to better understand this issue.

Hi Paride,
here is a little video I will send you the scene and try your method. Step one wont work since the PC has 2 titans Xp

Paride your suggestions.."kinda" work...but now we have to click in the shader for it to update...and as soon as we do that..slow update

Hi Nildoe,
sure your right, my suggestion was not a workaround, but an attempt to understand what could cause this issue,
Coilbook shows issues using Multi/Sub-Object; is that issue with Multi/Sub-Object for you too?
