QGIS uses by default only one CPU core for rendering, but you can change this. Multi-threaded rendering should speed up your performance significantly! Render caching and Feature simplification should be activated by default. Keep this settings.
 

What is the system requirement for QGIS?

RAM – 8GB of RAM or higher is recommended for using QGIS and avoiding system crashes. 2. CPU Speed – Higher than 1.9 GHz is recommended, although not required. QGIS might run slow at lower levels.

  7. Clean up Compositions.
  8. Be Selective with Effects.

Can QGIS use GPU?

OpenCL acceleration is now available in QGIS and allows to take advantage of high speed parallel computing capabilities of modern GPUs and CPUs.

What is the rendering speed of QGIS?

In QGIS Desktop, the mean rendering time is 2591 ms. Using to the PyQGIS API we are able to get the extent and the size of the map to render the map again but using a GetMap WMS request this time.
