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. -

I'm having the same problem with Opera lagging a lot, since 2 or 3 days ago. But in my case I really don't know why this is happening, I had no hardware alterations and the tabs I've got open are the same I usually have on Opera. Nothing different.
Still, Opera keeps lagging and sometimes freezing as you mentioned. I updated Opera today hoping the situation would be solved, but unfortunately it didn't.
All my other browsers are working without any issues.

@spborges74 The exact same thing is happening to me, and it also started 2 or 3 days ago.
Most sites run slow but are still good enough to use, this is not the case if you try to watch any videos though as that causes Opera to just fall apart; audio playing out of sync, video chopping along at maybe 1 frame per 2 seconds and dropping every other frame in between, scrolling taking a lifetime to move the page and even the browser just straight up crashing.
I've been using Opera for about 9 years, and while its had it's problems it's always been my favourite, this is a real bummer though. I hope whatever this problem is gets fixed soon.
My other browsers also work just fine, so I know it's not my internet that's at fault. -

To test if it's a GPU issue, you could turn off hardware acceleration.
chrome://settings/system. -

@burnout426 Windows 7 home premium and i5-2320 3.00GHz
And I already turned that off. It resulted in disabling some, but not all, of my extensions, which in turn led to me losing about 1000 tabs worth of saved sessions. That was nice. -

So, you're saying you're using the GPU built into the i5-2320? As in, the Intel
HD Graphics 2000 GPU?@butter-boy said in Opera horribly lagging and constantly freezing after new Graphicscard.:
Windows 7 home premium
32-bit or 64-bit?

That's really weird that turning off that setting would do that.

@burnout426 Sorry, I'm a moron, I read GPU as CPU.
My GPU is a GeForce GT 740 and the OS is 64-bit. -

Same here, but for me it lags on all of my three, completely different PCs.... I think it started with the update to version 57...
All have W10 x64 1803 and 8GB RAM- Ryzen 5 2600 + GTX 1050ti
- Core i3-6100U with integrated HD520
- 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. -

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.

Maybe goto the URL
chrome://gpuand see if everything (or most) is hardware-accelerated or not. -

Maybe reset all the flags in
chrome://flags. Maybe enablechrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklistif needed. -

For testing you could try launching Opera's launcher.exe with --disable-gpu (which I think does more disabling of the GPU than the option in settings, but I forget). See https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#disable-gpu.

I'm a long time Opera user, and I've started to experience this issue since the last update (57.0.3098.76 on Win10 64bit).
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.

@pingu01 Download the Opera Developer Win x64 offline installer linked on the right-side of https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", and install. 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.

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.
