Substance painter is terribly laggy

Hello, I've recently started a new project on substance painter, and I was suprised by the lag. I even get the same amount of lag if I work on 4 k or 1k. It's terribly frustrating. I'm using an fbx of my character that has about 30k of triangles, 4 different Material sets, so I really can't understand. At first I closed everything that I had opened, unreal, xnormal, zbrush and photoshop. Restarted, reinstalled, everything and it still lags even if I have nothing running aside from that. Here are my specs:

Operating System
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1

CPU
Intel Core i7 4790 @ 3.60GHz
Haswell 22nm Technology

RAM
32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (11-11-11-28)

Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. B85M-G R2.0 (SOCKET 1150)

Graphics
VW246 (1920x1080@60Hz)
ASUS VS247 (1920x1080@60Hz)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (PNY)

Storage
931GB Seagate ST1000DM ST1000DM003-1CH1 SCSI Disk Device (SATA)
223GB KINGSTON KINGSTON SV300S3 SCSI Disk Device (SSD)
931GB Seagate BUP Slim RD USB Device (USB (SATA))

Does anyone know what could be the issue?

OMG thanks for that! I disabled the threaded Optimization option on Nvidia Control Panel, and now it's sooooo smooth. T.T I own you my life

Almost 2 years pass....This problem still happen.

"Using a brush can seriously affect the performance. The official ones say that you can turn off Nvidia's settings." When looking for a lot of online articles that can't solve my problem, I think it shouldn't be a brush problem, but a mouse.

And the difference between the drawing board. When I use the mouse to draw, there is no delay at all, but changing to a pressure-sensitive tablet triggers a serious delay.
