<![CDATA[Opera horribly lagging and constantly freezing after new Graphicscard.]]>Like the Title tells, is Opera freezing and lagging to a state in wich the usage is no longer possible, that is why i use Chrome to write in the forums.
I had a GTX 970 since 2-3 years and for that duration, i never had any kind of problem with Opera.
But 3 days ago i installed a new RIG. The RTX 2070.
And right after i started my PC and watched some Youtube, after some time, it started lagging and now it is completely freezing and no longer usable wich is sad, because i love Opera.
Maybe someone here has a fix for this Problem.
Im on the newest update but on opera aswell as on my pc.
its not a problem from my internet because on Chrome everything works just fine.
Its only Opera.

@burnout426 could you disclose what the issue was?

Sorry, I don't know any details except that it was an issue with a setting (not sure if that was meant as a simple preference issue or if it meant a setting with one of Opera's internal extensions).

I would guess that it had something to do with the extension blocking on search pages feature though.

@burnout426 could you disclose what the issue was? I'm sure the Aliexpress and Wappalyzer extensions have some similar behaviour for both to be affected.

With your help, Opera was able to figure out what's wrong and fix it. It's a simple fix (not a new version, but if there's a new version available, update) that you should get through auto-update. You just need to restart Opera for it to be applied.

Can you try to restart Opera and try again. Maybe do a check for updates just for good measure and then restart?

Enable the extension, goto opera://extensions and check "enable on search results", does the extension start behaving?

I went back to the normal installation with all extensions disabled, and also experienced no lag. So I started enabling extensions one by one, and the lag starts when I enable a particular extension called Wappalyzer (installed through the Chrome store). To confirm, I disabled it and enabled it several times, and each time after enabling it the lag comes back. By lag, I mean freezing on page loads (sometimes several seconds) and occasionally when switching tabs.

On the previous version of Opera, this extension does not cause any issues.

Okay. Can you test a standalone version of Opera Stable just to be certain you can reproduce it in a clean profile without any extensions and without Opera Sync enabled.

Many people experience the same issues i do with an i7 and an rtx 2070.
Some have Windows 10, some, like me, Windows 7 (64bit).
I guess its after a new update, but still it laggs my whole PC when i open Opera.
This is a huge problem, because i am used to Opera and i dont want this crap Google-Chrome.
I hope, a solution is coming soon. Maybe re-install, but i dont want all my settings and tabs to be deleted.

After few minutes of testing I can say that the standalone Developer version is working fine...it is maybe a bit slower than what I was used to before the lagging problems started (it is slower than Chrome and before the problems I think the speed was comparable, maybe little bit better for opera). But that might be just a feeling. It is definetely not lagging nor freezing.
Testing it on i3-540 with integrated GPU, will test on nvidia GTX1050ti later.

Do things at least work fine there.

@franken5 Do the same but with the non-x64 offline installer since you're using 32-bit Windows.

I have an Nvidia 1050 Ti and as @burnout426 suggested, I started Opera with --disable-gpu. I can confirm that the situation did not improve at all.

I'm noticing the lag on page loads (freezes for almost a second) and occasionally on tab switching. Never before have I experienced these lags. On my work PC, I'm not experiencing the same issues.

I've gone as far as disabling all the extensions, and re-installing Opera. No change at all. I do not experience any lags on the latest Chrome for what it's worth.

Okay. Wondering if the issue is limited to Nvidai GPUs. Even if it's an issue only in Opera, have you tried https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/140563 to see if it helps?

You can goto https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/ and get the beta and develop versions of Opera just to *test* to see how they behave.

I think it started with the update to version 57...
All have W10 x64 1803 and 8GB RAM

  1. Ryzen 5 2600 + GTX 1050ti
  2. Core i3-6100U with integrated HD520
  3. Core i3-540 with integrated GPU.

It is not really freezing for me, more like lagging (but that depends on what you call freezing...)
I had to switch back to Chrome, which does not have this problem at all.
